Individual Adult Therapy

  • As an adult, life can sometimes feel overwhelming. The pressure to succeed, to be perfect, or to constantly please others might be weighing you down, making it hard to relax or feel at ease. You might find yourself overthinking every decision, worrying about what others think, or feeling like no matter what you do, it's never good enough.

    If anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing are consuming your thoughts, therapy can help. You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of these feelings alone. In therapy, you’ll have a space to explore why you feel the need to meet impossible standards and how you can find peace with yourself as you are. Together, we can work on letting go of perfectionism and learning to set healthy boundaries with others.

  • Do you often feel like you’re not good enough, no matter how hard you try? Low self-esteem can make it difficult to see your own worth, leaving you feeling insecure, anxious, or overly critical of yourself. You might find yourself comparing your life to others, doubting your abilities, or feeling like you must constantly prove your value to others.

    These feelings can be exhausting and isolating, but they don’t have to define you. In therapy, you’ll have a safe space to explore the roots of your low self-esteem and how it’s affecting your life. Together, we can work on challenging the negative beliefs you hold about yourself and begin building a stronger, more compassionate relationship with who you are. Therapy can help you learn to embrace your strengths, overcome self-doubt, and develop a sense of confidence that comes from within.

    You deserve to feel good about yourself and to recognize your worth. Therapy is a step toward reclaiming your self-esteem and building a more positive, fulfilling life.

  • Depression can feel like a heavy fog that never lifts. It’s not just sadness—it’s the numbness, the exhaustion, and the feeling of being disconnected from the world around you. Maybe it’s hard to find the energy to get out of bed in the morning, or perhaps you feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks that used to seem so simple. You might be feeling hopeless or wondering if things will ever get better.

    You don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where you can talk about how you’re feeling without judgment. Together, we can work on understanding the root of your depression, address the negative thoughts and emotions that keep you feeling stuck, and develop strategies to help you manage the heaviness you’re carrying.

    Depression might make you feel isolated, but support is here, and healing is possible. Therapy is a step toward rediscovering hope, purpose, and a sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.

    You don’t have to feel better overnight, but you don’t have to stay in this place forever either. Help is available.

  • Trauma can feel like an invisible burden you carry with you every day, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and relationships in ways that are hard to understand or control. Whether it stems from a painful experience in your past or a series of events that left a lasting impact, trauma can make you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns of fear and self-protection.

    You may find yourself replaying memories you wish you could forget, or perhaps you’ve been avoiding thinking about it altogether, but the effects still show up in how you navigate the world. Feelings of shame, guilt, or sadness can often follow trauma, making it hard to trust others, or even yourself.

    In therapy, you don’t have to face your trauma alone. It’s a space where you can process those difficult experiences at your own pace and in a way that feels safe. Therapy helps you make sense of what happened, learn how to heal, and begin to regain control of your life. Over time, the pain doesn’t have to define you—you can reclaim your sense of peace, safety, and self-worth.

    No matter what you’ve been through, healing is possible, and you deserve support on that journey.
