Psychotherapy for Adults in Long Beach, CA
Individual Psychotherapy
People may enter therapy for various reasons, from anxiety, stress, or depression to trauma and addiction.
Still others are curious to discover more about themselves and keen to enrich their relationships and inner lives. Whatever your circumstance, therapy can be the first step in an empowering journey of self-awareness and transformational change.
Working with your therapist, you will engage in a supportive and collaborative process that may allow you to explore your behaviors and beliefs. With the benefit of fresh insight, you will identify maladaptive patterns which are holding you back from health and happiness, and gain the strength and strategies needed to overcome them.
As you grow in wisdom and resilience and learn to discard the unhelpful responses you may have developed, you can move forward equipped with new and more successful tools for attaining lasting well-being.
Therapy is a proven treatment. It has been shown to be as effective as medication but with the benefit of longer lasting results. Many people find that it provides relief from distress in a relatively short period of time; however, therapy is a dynamic process of personal growth and development and its duration, just as much as its content, will be different for every client.
