People come to individual counseling to talk about different aspects of their lives and difficulties they may be having in solving some of their problems. Many people experience counseling as a safe place to share their deepest thoughts and feelings without judgment. Individual psychotherapy offers a powerful setting for the disclosure of secrets, emotions and experiences that may be difficult to discuss. As the relationship between the client and therapist develops, therapy can provide a framework where one can create the life they desire. The weaving of past stories, events, feelings and traumas, with current emotions, patterns, stressors and events enables us to integrate the past with the present. Additionally, research findings indicate that psychotherapy can be effective in reducing physical health problems, depression and an array of major and minor thought and behavior disorders. There is truly something very healing that occurs when someone can feel understood in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance.
