What Is Adult Therapy?

Adult therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process where we help patients navigate life’s challenges and improve their emotional well-being. During our treatment sessions, you will have a safe, confidential space to discuss your thoughts, feelings, and concerns while receiving guidance and support from our therapist. These one-on-one meetings last approximately 50 minutes and usually occur weekly or bi-weekly, depending on patient needs and goals.

Our mental health providers help people develop coping strategies, explore life patterns, and gain new perspectives on particular situations. While some individuals may only need therapy for a few months to address specific issues, others might find it beneficial to continue for a year or longer as they work on ongoing personal growth and development.

We Can Address the Following Issues

Our Therapeutic Techniques

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. This evidence-based approach helps people recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, teaching them to challenge and modify unhelpful cognitive distortions. CBT offers practical strategies to solve problems and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The patient and therapist work collaboratively to set specific goals, complete homework assignments, and practice new skills, making it particularly effective for treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many other mental health concerns.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

MBSR is a comprehensive technique that combines mindfulness meditation and yoga to help individuals better cope with stress, pain, and illness. This approach teaches participants to focus on the present moment without judgment, becoming more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Our practitioners train patients to respond to stressors more effectively rather than reacting automatically. MBSR has shown significant benefits in reducing anxiety and improving overall emotional well-being, making it particularly valuable for those dealing with stress-related conditions and chronic health issues.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT is a goal-directed therapeutic approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This future-focused method helps patients identify their desired goals and build on their strengths to achieve them. Unlike traditional therapies that may explore past experiences in detail, SFBT concentrates on what’s working in the person’s life and how to do more of it. The therapist uses specific questioning techniques, such as the miracle and scaling questions, to help patients envision their preferred future and develop concrete steps to reach it. This method is particularly effective for people seeking quick, practical solutions to specific issues.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Trauma-focused therapy is a specialized approach that helps individuals process and recover from highly stressful experiences. This type of mental health care uses various techniques to address the emotional and physiological effects of trauma, encouraging people to develop healthy coping strategies and process dysfunctional memories in a safe environment. Patients learn to manage trauma-related symptoms, such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. This approach is particularly effective for treating PTSD, complex trauma, and other mental health issues.

Who Can Benefit From Adult Therapy?

Therapy serves as a vital resource for adults navigating various life challenges and mental health concerns. While each individual’s journey is unique, certain circumstances and events lead people to seek professional psychological support. We can help young adults, middle-aged individuals, and older patients who experience the following challenges:

Chronic Mental Health Conditions

Individuals managing current mental health problems, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or persistent depression, often need regular therapeutic support. These conditions typically require consistent professional monitoring and intervention.

Behavioral Concerns

Adults struggling with addiction, anger management issues, eating disorders, or other behavioral patterns that impact their daily functioning often seek therapy. This includes those who recognize destructive tendencies but struggle to change them independently. Our behavioral health care specialists can achieve significant improvements by offering advanced treatment.

Identity and Personal Growth

Individuals exploring their identity, purpose, or self-worth may benefit from therapy. This includes those working through issues related to sexuality, gender, or culture. We can help achieve deeper self-understanding.

Grief and Loss

People coping with the death of loved ones, the end of significant relationships, or other major losses often need therapy. They may experience complicated grief or struggle to process their emotions surrounding these traumatic events.

Work-Related Stress

Individuals dealing with burnout, workplace conflicts, career uncertainty, or professional challenges that affect their mental well-being can seek therapeutic support. This includes those struggling with work-life balance or job-related anxiety.

Mental Health Crisis

People with acute psychological distress, including severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or suicidal thoughts, are primary candidates for therapy. These conditions often involve a breakdown in everyday functioning and require professional intervention to manage symptoms and establish stability.

Relationship Difficulties

People struggling with marital problems, divorce, family conflicts, or challenges in maintaining healthy relationships may seek therapy. This includes those experiencing communication breakdowns, trust issues, or recurring patterns of problematic relationships.

Life Transitions

People facing significant life changes, such as retirement, relocation, or becoming parents, can benefit from our therapy. These transitions may create uncertainty and emotional strain, making professional support valuable during adjustment. We can help senior and emerging adults navigate their challenges.

Trauma Survivors

Individuals who have experienced traumatic events, such as abuse, accidents, violence, or loss, often require therapeutic support. This includes people dealing with PTSD symptoms or unresolved past issues affecting their present functioning.

Benefits of Adult Therapy

Relief of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms

Professional therapeutic support helps reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms, leading to improved daily functioning and a more fulfilling life.

Enhanced Self-Awareness

Therapy creates a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This process helps them understand their motivations, recognize their life patterns, and gain insight into their history. Increased self-awareness leads to better decision-making and more authentic self-expression.

Professional therapy helps individuals develop better communication skills and understand interpersonal dynamics. By exploring past and present relationships, people learn to establish healthy boundaries, express needs effectively, and build stronger connections. This leads to a more fulfilling personal and professional life.

Individuals learn to identify sources of distress, develop healthy coping strategies, and maintain balance. These skills help prevent burnout and promote long-term emotional resilience, self-care, and self-compassion.

Personal Growth and Development

Therapy supports individuals in identifying and achieving personal goals while overcoming obstacles that may have held them back. Through guided self-reflection, people can work toward their aspirations, develop new perspectives, and realize their potential for growth and change.

Processing Past Trauma

Professional guidance helps patients process difficult memories, reduce their emotional impact, and develop healthier ways of relating to their experiences. This leads to reduced symptoms of trauma and improved emotional regulation.
