Psychotherapy for Individuals

Working through a painful break-up? Finding yourself in the same bad relationship... again? Wondering if you’ll ever find love, or if there even is such a thing? Or just feeling stuck in life, and unhappy with yourself? Counseling and therapy can help you to see your life from a new perspective, and discover new possibilities. Your perception of yourself and others will likely change, and so will your perception of your choices and possibilities.

Some common issues I work with in my Walnut Creek psychotherapy office include:

• Break-ups
• Bad dating decisions
• Co-dependency
• Self-sabotage
• Working through an affair
• Loneliness, depression, or hopelessness
• Spiritual development
• Crisis of faith

Sometimes it’s hard to seek out help, even when we need it. But just as you would seek professional help with physical health problems, you shouldn't hesitate to get help dealing with these struggles, too. The rewards are well worth the cost: support for those who are hurting, the mending of broken relationships, and help for those struggling with destructive behaviors and thinking.

As you explore past, current, or future relationships, you are likely to gain insight into other personal areas of your life as well. Many of the above issues in fact boil down to caring for our souls, learning to love and be loved, and cultivating meaning and depth into our lives. In the end, it’s not just abut learning to cope, but learning to thrive.
