Individual therapy is the core of Identity Counseling Psychology.
The therapists at IDENTITY specialize in both individual counseling for relationship issues as well as family therapy, and couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling or relationship counseling.
Identity Counseling Psychology has counselors that specialize in working with children and teenagers.
Counseling and psychotherapy are forms of talk therapy that help people in many ways. In counseling, people are often able to build a deeper understanding of who they are and what they experience. Counseling can help with identifying causes for psychological conditions and can help people with methods to cope with distress. Through listening to the mind and body, we can dive deeply into your condition. Since counseling is rooted in a relationship between the psychotherapist and patient, it can serve as a model for what healthy relationships can look like outside of therapy.
Listen to the body, listen to the mind. What are the themes in your relationships? There are three basic areas that dictate human wellness:
If we struggle in one of these areas, the other areas are bound to struggle as well. In this way, our mind, body, and relationships are interwoven.
Your story is made up of your biological, psychological, and social contexts. In counseling, we will work to understand how each of these factors impacts you in positive and negative ways. Through building a deeper understanding of the factors at play, we can work together on a plan to help you feel better and begin to thrive.
Carl Jung said,
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Those who look outside, dream. Those who look inside, awaken.”
Therapy is a process of searching within to awaken to your inner self in new and helpful ways. Counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client. Through building a working relationship, we will engage in a process of inner self discovery to identify the blocks that are holding you back from doing the things you want to do and feeling the way that you want to feel.
Engaging in the therapeutic process is a lifestyle changing decision. Therapy is an active process through which clients often learn to manage their anxiety, cope with their depression, find their inner motivation again, and learn to face internal demons that have been holding them captive for too long.
