Individual Therapy

You may find yourself considering therapy because you're grappling with life's challenges, complex emotions, or interpersonal difficulties. Perhaps you feel you should be content, yet you repeatedly encounter feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or remorse. This experience might seem strange or disconcerting, especially if it's a departure from your usual self, or maybe you've been enduring these feelings for so long that you've become desensitized to your distress.

​

Individual psychotherapy can be beneficial as it provides a safe environment for you to express yourself and be truly understood. It's a chance to delve into the aspects of your life and psyche that feel perplexing or unfulfilling. The objectives of therapy are unique to each person: they might include alleviating emotional pain, working through past traumas, gaining self-awareness, feeling supported, developing coping mechanisms, or experiencing a new way of relating to others. Dr. O'Brien is an astute observer; she will listen to what you say while also attending to the unspoken thoughts and feelings you might struggle to articulate, guiding you through the process of personal growth and change.
