Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling facilitates the exploration and resolution of personal problems and issues according to the needs of the individual. Play therapy is often used with children ages 3 to 11, as it provides a way for children to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process.
Some of the issues often addressed in individual counseling include:
- Stress
- Anger management
- Difficulty coping with life circumstances
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Adolescence
- Anxiety
- School Problems
- Self-esteem
- Changing parenting needs
- Identity issues
- Sibling conflicts
- Loneliness
- Step Parenting
- Difficulty maintaining healthy relationships
- Divorce
Individual counseling can help you explore, understand, and work through these difficulties on a one-on-one basis. Often, simply having an objective person with whom to discuss things brings about a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of strength and confidence. Other times, the process helps individuals recognize different options.
