How can individual therapy help me?

Individual therapy can support you through a wide range of experiences—from managing stress, anxiety, or depression to navigating loss, life transitions, or burnout. It can also help with building confidence, improving boundaries, and understanding patterns that may keep you feeling stuck. Many people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they want to grow, heal, or live with more clarity and purpose. Whether you’re working through something specific or simply want to feel more grounded, therapy provides space to slow down, reflect, and move toward meaningful change.

How is individual therapy different from talking with friends or family?

Friends and family can be an important source of support, but therapy offers something different—a space that’s just for you, to sort through what’s on your mind without having to carry anyone else’s expectations. In therapy, the goal isn’t to give advice or take sides; it’s to help you understand patterns, explore emotions, and find clarity from an objective perspective. A therapist brings professional training, confidentiality, and evidence-based tools that help you move toward lasting change. You don’t have to filter your thoughts or worry about burdening someone you love. Therapy is your space to slow down, reflect, and be fully heard—without expectation or pressure.

How can therapy help me manage anxiety, stress, or depression?

Therapy helps you understand what’s driving your stress or anxiety, identify unhelpful thought patterns, and learn practical ways to calm your body and mind. It also creates space to explore the deeper experiences that may contribute to feeling overwhelmed or discouraged. Evidence shows that approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques can effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression (Cuijpers et al., 2016). Beyond managing symptoms, therapy helps you build awareness, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what brings clarity and purpose to your life.

Therapy for Individuals

Get started

Life brings seasons of change, challenge, and growth. Sometimes that means carrying depression, anxiety, or the weight burnout, stress, or imposter syndrome. Other times, it looks like managing the unique pressures of being a healthcare professional, navigating the ongoing work of recovery from alcohol or drug addiction, or feeling the strain of relationship stress and conflict. It might also mean trying to find your footing as a young professional or navigating the transitions that come with being a teen or college-age adult.

Individual therapy offers a steady place to reflect, gain perspective, and receive support as you move through the experiences shaping your life.
