Individual Therapy

Taking the First Step Toward Healing

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Mental health challenges are incredibly common—about 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a mental health condition each year (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Anxiety and depression affect millions, yet research shows that therapy is highly effective, with 75% of individuals seeing improvement (American Psychological Association).

At Made Well Counseling Services, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your struggles, gain insight, and develop strategies for lasting change. Everyone deserves to feel supported, understood, and equipped to tackle life’s challenges.

What Happens in Therapy?

Many people wonder what therapy actually looks like. Here’s what you can expect:

1. First Session (Getting to Know You): We’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, and your goals. This is a collaborative process—your input matters.

2. Ongoing Sessions (Building Tools & Insight): Depending on your needs, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing coping strategies. Sessions are tailored to what works best for you.

3. Growth & Progress (Applying What You Learn): As you gain new insights and skills, we’ll adjust our approach to ensure continued growth. Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about real, meaningful change.

Specializations:

I specialize in a variety of concerns, including but not limited to:

• Anxiety & Depression: including panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood disorders

• Trauma & PTSD: healing from past experiences, whether recent or childhood trauma

• Grief & Loss: navigating loss of a loved one, miscarriage, or other deep losses

• Life Transitions: career changes, divorce, becoming a parent, or other major shifts

• Men’s Issues: emotional health, stress, identity, and relational struggles

• Addiction Recovery: substance use, pornography, and other compulsive behaviors

• Religious Trauma & Faith Issues: processing spiritual wounds, deconstructing beliefs, or finding peace with faith

• Children, Teens, and Families: helping young people and families navigate mental health challenges

My Approach to Therapy

I use evidence-based therapies that are tailored to each individual’s needs, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns.

• Solution-Focused Therapy: Focuses on strengths and practical steps for change.

• Trauma-Informed Therapy: Ensures a compassionate, safe approach to healing past wounds.

• Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT): Helps process emotions and improve relationships with self and others.
