Individual Therapy
Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life?
Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental ear just to listen?
Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention?
Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.
If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner by means of a professional therapist.
So if any of these sound like you…
You keep worrying about the same problem over and over
You don’t know who you could ever trust with knowing about your secret struggle
You wish there was somebody who could tell you why you feel this way
You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control
Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle
You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once
You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life
…Then individual therapy could be right for you.
Individual therapy is so helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy.
If you’re looking for help improving your everyday life – or for a more tailored therapy experience – you would be a great fit for our individual therapy services. Please reach out to me today to schedule your first appointment.

Children/Adolescents
Therapy for children is highly beneficial and can play a role in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions and life experiences.
Body Image Concerns & Eating Disorders
Children and teens are under an exorbitant amount of pressure to meet societal standards of beauty. This has led to a surge in body dysmorphia and eating disorders in adolescents. Our therapy services for children help parents and children to handle societal stress and underlying trauma that leads to these symptoms.
Depression & Mood Disorders
Childhood depression can be challenging to understand and identify because many people falsely assume this is a disorder only adults experience. Children can be depressed and even have suicidal thoughts, which is why therapy for children experiencing depression is so important. Our therapists can help children understand their emotions and find relief from symptoms of depression.
Developmental Transitions
From starting Kindergarten to the first high school dance, there’s countless milestones a child experiences throughout their life. These developmental transitions are major life events for both a child and their parents as you all navigate growing up together. Many families can benefit from an outside perspective of a trained counselor who specializes in working with children. A safe environment where children can express themselves unapologetically through the most challenging and exciting developmental milestones is exactly what we strive to provide at Wellington Counseling Group.
Divorce
Divorce is hard on a family. It’s difficult enough for the couple contemplating or going through a separation, but it becomes increasingly more challenging when children are involved. Divorce counseling can be highly beneficial for both the parents and the children who are involved in the separation. There are many additional factors at play when a divorce occurs, from coping with the separation itself and learning a new normal between two parents to eventual remarriage and blending of families. Having the long-term support and expertise of a trained psychotherapist can help you navigate each and every step of a divorce to facilitate a healthy and supportive environment for all parties.
Emotional & Behavioral Issues
As a child grows and develops, their ability to regulate and control their emotions and behaviors can be challenged. Emotional outbursts and behavioral issues are not uncommon throughout adolescence and it can often be a source of difficulty for parents and children alike. Family therapy can be a beneficial resource for children to have an outlet to talk about their feelings and learn how to better understand themselves. A therapist can also support parents as they learn how to communicate with their child and work through emotions.
Grief
When children are grieving, finding peace in a loss is especially challenging. If not for the fact that the adults in their life are also grieving, then simply due to the lack of understanding about what has happened. Our grief counseling services for children help them understand the transition in their life and cope with the various feelings they experience throughout the grieving process.
Parent-Child Relationships
The relationship between a parent and child is constantly evolving. For some families, the trials of a constantly changing relationship with a child are easily navigated. For others, both parents and children can feel like they are at a loss. Feeling misunderstood is not uncommon and, as your child grows up, you’re likely to experience more than a few bumps in the road. Wellington Counseling Group can help you successfully navigate those bumps and support the building of a healthy relationship between parent and child.
Sleep Issues & Disorders
Many children experience sleep issues as they are growing up. Whether they are afraid of the dark, have separation anxiety when it comes time to go to bed, or end up in Mom and Dad’s room at some point during the night, sleep issues are very common. Often, they are related to an underlying issue that the child is having trouble coping with. Therapy is a safe and supportive place to unpack the underlying triggers that are preventing your child from getting restful sleep without a bedtime meltdown.
