How Individual Counseling Helps
Stress and imbalance often show up as symptoms of anxiety and depression, including worry, obsessive thoughts, imagining worst-case scenarios, irritability, trouble concentrating, sadness, crying, and feeling stuck. Individual counseling gives you concrete skills to experiment with between sessions so you can reduce symptoms and create a life you feel proud of and passionate about.
Who Can Benefit From Individual Therapy?
The best investment you can make is in yourself. Clients come to individual therapy at Sage Wellness for many reasons, including:
- Symptoms of anxiety and stress
- Symptoms of depression and low mood
- College adjustment issues
- Life transitions such as divorce, a new career, or retirement
- Friendship, romantic, or family relationship difficulties
- Low self-esteem or confidence
- Emotional, sexual, or physical trauma
- Exploration of identity, gender, or sexuality
- Grief and loss
- Burnout, ADHD, and panic attacks
Individual therapy is a wonderful place to build the confidence and skills to address these concerns. However, you do not have to be in crisis to give yourself the gift of therapy. Therapy is often most helpful when life is going well, because you have more emotional and physical energy to build the skills you will rely on when life gets hard.
Our Approach to Individual Therapy
At Sage Wellness, we walk alongside you through the therapeutic process. Using your goals as a guide, we build on your strengths and enhance what is already working. We identify the patterns and roadblocks that have been getting in the way of your success and work to eliminate them. We also spend time processing how aspects of your past contribute to what is happening now. Our role is to offer new perspectives, teach positive coping skills, and help you feel confident that you can work through any challenge that arises.
Our culturally sensitive approach is integrative and tailored to your situation. We use a strengths-based, interpersonal approach, and our therapists integrate their unique training and styles, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based treatment, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), motivational interviewing, and more. We affirm the personal and cultural identities of our clients and incorporate them into our work together, which makes us especially proud to support our LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients.
In-Person and Telehealth Counseling
Our therapists provide in-person counseling at our two Gainesville offices and telehealth therapy for Florida residents. Prefer to be outdoors? Try walk and talk therapy. Individual sessions can also complement couples therapy or group therapy. Meet our therapists or review pricing and insurance on our FAQ page.
