Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy is always a good starting place to figure out who you are and why you are at the place in life you now find yourself. It works well either alone or in conjunction with couples therapy. The journey here is deeper and tailored just to you—your history, your background, the members of your family of origin, your experiences with them, and how you have grown into the person you are today. By contrast, the purpose of couples therapy is to explore the partnership itself, how it functions, and how it can best serve each person within it. The goal in couples therapy is to maximize happiness within the couple, balancing the needs of two individuals who are very different from each other. So the goals are very different.
