Is Individual Therapy Right For You?

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, sadness, or simply feeling stuck, therapy provides a safe, confidential space to understand yourself better and move toward meaningful change. You might consider therapy if you’ve noticed:

Ongoing Anxiety

Worry or tension may feel constant, showing up as restlessness, irritability, or difficulty concentrating. Therapy helps you identify triggers and build tools to manage anxious thoughts more effectively.

Low Mood

You may feel emotionally drained, lose motivation, or withdraw from people and activities you once enjoyed. Therapy provides support and perspective to help you regain energy, purpose, and hope.

Relationship Stress

Conflict or communication issues with family, friends, or colleagues can take a toll. Therapy helps you understand patterns and develop healthier ways to connect and set boundaries.

Feeling Stuck

You might sense that something needs to change but aren’t sure what or how. Therapy helps you explore what’s holding you back and supports you in building a clearer path forward.

Who Is Individual Therapy For?

People seek individual therapy for many reasons. Common concerns we help with include:

  • Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety)
  • Depressive disorders and persistent low mood
  • Trauma and PTSD (single event or complex trauma)
  • Self-esteem, identify, and adjustment problems (adolescence, life transitions)
  • Intimate partner violence (survivors and people addressing their own harmful behaviours)
  • Sexual behaviour concerns (compulsive sexual behaviour, problematic pornography use, and therapy following sexual offending)

  • Substance use (alcohol, opioids, stimulants)
  • Behavioural addictions (gambling, gaming)
  • Technology overuse and problematic internet use (impacting school, work, or relationships)
  • Anger management and emotional regulation difficulties
  • Relationship problems and communication struggles (addressed individually or through couples therapy)
  • Co-occuring mental health diagnoses (mood disorders, personality disorders, neurodevelopmental considerations)

Common Questions

If you’re unsure where to start but know something feels off, that’s often reason enough. Many people begin therapy simply wanting to feel better, think more clearly, or gain perspective on their lives.

Individual therapy focuses on your inner world—your emotions, habits, and personal growth. Couples therapy focuses on the relationship dynamic between partners. Some clients find that doing both helps them understand themselves and their relationships more fully.

Absolutely. You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Many clients seek support for everyday stress, self-esteem, decision-making, or life transitions. If you think you would benefit from a formal diagnosis, we also offer psychological assessments.

That depends on your goals. Some people work on a few focused issues over a short period, while others continue longer-term to deepen insight and maintain emotional health.

Yes. Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. It also offers convenience, privacy, and flexibility to fit your schedule.

Therapy is a deeply personal process, and finding the right fit with your therapist is key. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches and collaborate with you to ensure sessions feel relevant and supportive to your needs.

Personalized Treatment Tailored Just For You.

Every individual’s journey is unique, which is why we offer tailored treatment plans to meet your specific needs. Through virtual therapy sessions, our associates empower you to understand the root causes of whatever challenges you are facing.
