How We Can Help
Your counseling sessions with our St. Pete therapists will be uniquely geared toward helping you feel better, achieve specific goals, and reach a point where you don’t have to come see us anymore. We hate to say goodbye to our clients, but we know that, when the time comes, we’re saying goodbye because they feel great. At your first visit, we’ll begin by talking through all the reasons you may have for coming to see us. Then, we’ll create a plan to move forward. Through each session, we’ll talk through things that went well or weren’t great since your last visit.
You’ll learn skills for managing emotions, building relationships, and becoming the best version of yourself, but you won’t just be using these new skills during your sessions. Instead, we’ll challenge you (when you’re ready) to take your new ways of interacting with the world out into your life. Our goal isn’t to keep you as a client forever. Our goal is to help you learn to live your best and most satisfying life all on your own.
Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Therapy In St. Pete
Before your first appointment, we know you will likely have some questions for us about individual therapy. Below, we’ve compiled the answers to frequently asked questions about individual therapy in St. Pete. Our team members are also happy to answer your questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
I’ve been to therapy in the past, and it didn’t help. Are you any different?
If you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past, we’re sorry to hear it, but we hope you’ll still give us a chance. Counseling, like other fields, is always changing and growing. In the past, many clinicians thought that just talking about what bothers you could effectively make you feel better. Today, we know that talking is important, but gaining increased understanding and making actual changes in your daily life are just as important. We take an action-oriented approach to therapy that helps people to better manage their difficult thoughts and emotions, so you’ll feel better now and be able to apply your new skills in the future.
Who will I work with?
Like any other relationship, it’s important to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. We have several counselors on our team who can work with individuals, couples, and families to achieve their therapy goals. When you reach out to our team, we can help you find the best therapist for your unique needs.
What if I can’t find a therapist who’s a good fit at your office?
We want everyone to find the right therapist who will offer them the best help. That means we recognize that our team members aren’t always a fit. We all have our areas of knowledge and work well with people who have specific concerns. The good news is that, unlike some practices that just tell you to find a different kind of therapist, we have a network of local contacts, and we will put you in touch with the right counselor. If they aren’t accepting clients or there’s some other issue, we encourage you to get back in touch with us. We’re here for you until you find the right therapist even if it’s not someone on our team.
