Many people have the wrong idea about individual therapy. One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from people is that therapy is only for those in crisis. While therapists can support those experiencing a crisis, we also help those who want to achieve personal goals, improve their relationships, and generally feel more satisfied in their daily life. On this page, you can learn more about individual therapy sessions at Eirene Counseling & Consulting and the many ways therapy can make day to day better.
Why Should I Consider Individual Therapy?
We said that therapy isn’t just for crisis situations, so you may be asking– what is therapy for? Some of the main reasons why people consider individual therapy include:
- Reducing feelings of depression and anxiety.
- Alleviating chronic stress.
- Improving communication.
- Building more satisfying relationships.
- Navigating difficult life experiences.
- Learning to better understand your own behaviors in order to make positive changes
What Happens During Individual Counseling Sessions?
Maybe you’ve seen therapy sessions depicted as a person telling a therapist aboutthemselves, and the counselor responds, “How does that make you feel?” We’ll certainly ask you some open-ended questions including this one to get you thinking about things, but we consider therapy a collaborative experience. That means we want you to fully engage with us as we walk beside you, offering support, guidance, and encouragement as you work to achieve goals, resolve conflicts, and build a healthier and more satisfying life. It’s not like what you see on television. Therapy sessions with our team are about answering questions, increasing self-awareness, and creating the life you want to live– one step at a time through connection.
How Do I Get Started?
Eirene is a Greek word that means peace. More specifically, it refers to a sense of harmony and reconciliation within the self and in relationship to others. This definition inspired our practice name, Eirene Counseling & Consulting, and it also inspires the services we offer our clients. We strive to help clients achieve a sense of peace and harmony within and outside of themselves. If you’re interested in learning more about individual therapy with the goal of helping you reach a greater sense of harmony, we hope you’ll reach out to us via email at info@eirenecounseling.com, over the phone at 804-293-0306, or by completing our online scheduling request form.
