Individual Therapy

Who can benefit from individual therapy?

Individual therapy can benefit a wide range of people. It is helpful for those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or self-esteem issues. It also supports people who want personal growth, increased emotional well-being, or clarity in their decision-making. Individual therapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore feelings, gain insights, and work toward positive change at one's own pace. If you're facing challenges that feel overwhelming or just want to improve your mental health, individual therapy might be a good option for you.

What kind of individual therapy does Irene offer?

Irene uses cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies, along with shame resiliency techniques, to help clients understand themselves, align with their values, and build fulfilling lives. She specializes in trauma recovery, emotional well-being, life transitions, and self-esteem improvement. Treatment starts with an assessment, followed by a collaborative plan to achieve your goals.

What should I expect from individual therapy?

In individual therapy, you can expect a supportive and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Initially, Irene will typically conduct an assessment to understand your background, challenges, and goals. From there, you'll collaborate on creating a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Throughout the process, you’ll engage in open conversations, which will help you gain insight into your concerns, develop coping strategies, and work toward positive changes. Depending on the therapy type, you may also learn tools for managing stress, improving relationships, or addressing specific issues such as anxiety or trauma. Therapy is a safe space, where your progress will be at your own pace, and you'll be supported in reaching your personal goals for growth and healing.

Expect therapy to be a process that might take time, but it should ultimately lead to increased self-awareness, personal empowerment, and a better understanding of your life and choices.
