In a culture that encourages, rewards, and demands independence, asking for help is hard.

Making a phone call to a counselor, or even perusing a website to find a good fit, may bring on feelings of anxiety, apprehension, and even shame. In your search, you may be asking yourself, “do I really need help?”

If you’re looking for help adjusting to a new transition in life, learning how to parent more effectively, improve your relationships or decrease your substance use, individual counseling can help. And if none of those situations apply to you – maybe you’re not sure what you’d like to work on – you don’t have to do it alone.

We’re glad you’re here.

We believe you can be independent and need help from time to time. You can be strong in most areas and need help building strength in others. We want you to depend on us for a time and find your way in the world. There’s no right way to do counseling. 

While we are surrounded by tips and tricks and Dr. Google, our therapists help keep the focus on the process, not just the outcome. This allows you to settle into your present life and experience change in a way that works for you.

Finding Success in Therapy

At IMF, our therapists give attention to what you want to focus on in individual counseling. We know that the main predictor of success in therapy is you feeling completely accepted and not judged: not judged for your life choices, your career, your relationships, or your identity. Our aim is for you to feel a sense of belonging when you are in our offices. We know your time is limited, and we hope the hour you spend with your counselor instills hope and feels restorative.

At some point, your time in individual counseling will come to a close. It is sometimes hard to say goodbye, not just for you but for us, too! Throughout your time in individual counseling, we will work together to articulate the challenges you want to work through and keep in mind the resolution you’re seeking. The end often doesn’t look how we envision it in the beginning, yet, it often brings a feeling of peaceful closure.


Therapy to Fit Your Life

Individual counseling at IMF takes place during the week and on the weekend, and several therapists offer early morning and later evening sessions to fit your schedule.

We work as a team; we refer to each other if we believe you may benefit from working with another therapist for a period of time. We have therapists who provide both brief counseling and longer-term therapy. Each therapist brings their individual focus into the therapy room. Some focus on skill-building and cognitive behavioral therapy, working from the thought process in your mind and how that translates to behaviors. Others take a more interpersonal approach focusing on the relationship between you and your therapist; if you can feel safe and confident in your relationship with your therapist, we believe you can feel safe and confident in your other relationships.

As a practice, we highly emphasize professional development and delivering quality services to our clients. This means that we attend training, consult with colleagues, and participate in our own therapy to keep growing in both therapeutic skills and emotional development.
