Individual Therapy
Support tailored to you, one step at a time.
Individual Therapy
Personalized care for deeper healing and change.
At Brighter Paths Counseling & Wellness, individual therapy is a space for meaningful, one-on-one work where your story matters. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy offers the tools and support to move forward.
What is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy (also called talk therapy, psychotherapy, or counseling) involves meeting one-on-one with a licensed therapist in a safe, confidential environment. Sessions are tailored to your needs, preferences, and goals. Therapy may be short-term and solution-focused or longer-term for deeper self-understanding and growth.
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients come seeking clarity, support, and change—and individual therapy can help with all of that.
Common Concerns We Work With:
We work with adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety and chronic worry
Depression or low motivation
Relationship or family conflict
Stress and burnout
Life transitions (divorce, career change, parenting, grief)
Trauma and PTSD
Attachment wounds and childhood experiences
Identity exploration and self-esteem issues
Faith transitions or spiritual concerns
Coping with pornography use or compulsive behaviors
If you’re not sure how to name what you’re feeling, that’s okay. Therapy can help make sense of what’s going on and guide the path forward.
Our Approach
Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches that match your goals and preferences. These may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address patterns of thought and behavior
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and heal inner parts and emotional wounds
Attachment-Based Therapy to reshape how you relate to yourself and others
EMDR for trauma processing and emotional integration
Narrative Therapy to help you re-author your story
Mindfulness and Somatic Practices to bring awareness and regulation to the body
We believe that therapy works best when it’s collaborative, flexible, and responsive to you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.
What to Expect
The first few sessions are about understanding your history, current challenges, and hopes for therapy. We’ll set goals together and check in regularly to make sure we’re on track. Sessions typically last 50 minutes and occur weekly, though frequency can vary based on need.
Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with very few legal exceptions. This is your space to speak freely and feel supported.
