Private and individual psychotherapy sessions are designed to address your unique story. Each service is customized to your needs and specific goals and aspirations. Through a series of 1-on-1 sessions, you will gain unprecedented insight into your life and a deeper understanding of your core self. By exploring the subtleties that have defined your past story, you are able to break free from limiting beliefs and/or self-limiting patterns. This new awareness provides a superior power of discernment, and allows you to recreate a fulfilling life and relationship story.
Whether you are newly single, married, going through a break-up, a separation, experiencing the fallout of an infidelity, or are already in a healthy relationship, our wellness team can help you develop individual awareness and teach you how to approach meaningful connections. Learn how to completely change your level of authentic power as you grow as a person and as a relational being.

What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy (also known as therapy, psychotherapy, or counseling) is the conventional treatment to address mental health problems. However, therapy doesn’t only have to be about solving issues. Therapy can also help those who are doing “okay” to make improvements and truly thrive.
No matter what life has thrown your way, therapy can help. Individual therapy can help you manage depression and anxiety symptoms, pave the road for a new relationship or life transition, and recover from a heart-wrenching separation or loss. If you have suffered abuse or trauma, therapy can support you to reprocess those disturbing events more healthily.
You don’t have to be struggling for therapy to make a difference. We all have room to plant new seeds and grow. Therapy can grant you tools and strategies for self-discovery and lasting change.
Some of the benefits of individual therapy include:
-
Finding relief and peace of mind
-
Gaining valuable insight and self-awareness
-
Shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
-
Loving your whole self
-
Learning sustainable coping mechanisms
-
Forming meaningful connections
-
Discovering a sense of purpose
-
Feeling empowered and motivated
Do I Need Individual Therapy?
We know asking for help is a brave choice. Many people have the common misconception that therapy is only for those who are “broken” or “ill.” This myth has reinforced a stigma around mental health—one that, instead of serving us, is alienating us from our core selves and one another. Individual therapy provides a safe haven and a collaborative process to help you navigate obstacles and improve your life.
If you are struggling with these issues, individual therapy can support you:
-
Anger or aggression
-
Constant worry or anxiety
-
Isolation or loneliness
-
Low self-worth
-
Moodiness or irritability
-
Unmanageable stress levels
-
Social or relationship problems
-
Self-harm or inflicting harm to others
-
Suicidal thoughts
-
Traumatic events (loss, accident, abuse*)
*Your safety is our priority. If you experience violence or abuse, contact the domestic violence hotline (1.800.799.7233) or visit its website.
How Can Individual Therapy Help Me?
Our Miami therapist can help provide individual therapy to help you address a broad range of challenges, including:
LGBTQ+
The LGBTQ community faces so many challenges, stressors, and adversities. Whether you are struggling with coming out, exploring your gender and sexual identity, or having difficulty with relationships, individual therapy can help.
• Be heard and validated.
• Work through the challenges of "coming out".
• Improve relationships.
Dating & Relationship Coaching
Our wellbeing is deeply connected with our relational selves and our abilities to form strong bonds. Individual therapy can help you improve your interpersonal skills and gain the confidence to embark on new relationships. Your therapist can also work with you to identify patterns, set healthy boundaries, and develop intimacy with a potential partner.
• Date effectively
• Manage social anxiety.
• Identify red flags and learn how to ask the right questions.
Trauma & Abuse
Carrying the burden of unresolved trauma weighs heavily on us. It may hinder our daily lives and our relationships. Individual therapy allows you to revisit and reprocess traumatic memories to reduce the distress associated with them.
• Heal past wounds.
• Reduce symptoms.
• Create a new narrative.
Grief & Loss Therapy
Grief can follow any significant change or loss. Whether a loved one has passed or you were laid off from a job, grief tends to show up. Individual therapy can guide you through grief as you learn to reconcile the change and find ways to heal.
• Manage loss more effectively.
• Learn how to address moderate to severe symptoms.
• Get the support you need.
Anxiety, Depression & Mood
Acute depression and anxiety may be preventing you from carrying on with work, school, and other activities. You may feel a lack of motivation, lose interest in things you used to enjoy, or struggle with overwhelming emotions. Individual therapy can help you uncover the root of your depression and anxiety symptoms and explore strategies to manage them.
• Improve symptoms.
• Learn how to manage and process feelings and emotions.
• Get to the root of your symptoms.

We are constantly making changes in our personal and professional lives. Yet sometimes, these leaps may cause discomfort and crippling uncertainty. Individual therapy offers a judgment-free environment to evaluate options, make decisions, and embrace new transitions.
• Make sound decisions.
• Process changes more effectively.
Divorce & Breakup Recovery
Ending a relationship can be a heartbreaking experience.

Your therapist will help you process your thoughts and feelings so you can find closure and recover.
• Manage new changes effectively.
• Heal with grace.
Alternative Therapies
Although traditional psychotherapy is deemed the gold-standard, alternative therapies are valuable choices to consider. Breathwork, Eye Movement Desensitization, and Reprocessing (EMDR) are some of the other avenues you can take to address emotional wounds, heal from trauma, and manage anxiety and depression.
• Gain new perspectives.
• Find profound healing within.
• Heal trauma and deep wounds.
• Alleviate PTSD symptoms.
• Learn how to embrace love and acceptance.
