Individual Therapy
“My approach to individual therapy is warm, interactive, supportive, and solution-oriented. My work varies from brief to long-term therapy, depending on the situation and my client’s personal investment in the process. The more open-minded, honest, and dedicated you are to your therapeutic development, the more effective and beneficial therapy will be for you. “
Olivia Schläpfer Colmer, Ph.D
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Individual therapy can be helpful for people who are experiencing a variety of challenges.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with as many individual clients as I do with couples and families. As a systemic and relational therapist, I view relationships in context and do not see an individual’s history in isolation or as pathological.
Whatever concerns you bring to therapy, they are understood within the historical and relational context that has shaped them. Whether you are facing personal challenges or difficulties in your significant relationships, individual therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process your emotions, gain insight, and develop effective coping strategies.
Individual therapy is often helpful for, but not limited to, the following issues:
Anxiety
Depression
Stress
Anger Management
Career Development
Grief and Loss
Addiction
Relationship Dependence
Trauma Recovery
Family Relationships
Intimate Relationships
CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU
Individual therapy offers an opportunity to understand yourself better, strengthen your emotional well-being, and create meaningful change in your life. Whether you are seeking to make meaningful changes in your life or significant relationships, clarify your goals and aspirations, or become more mindful and present in your daily life, individual therapy can provide the support and guidance you need.
Therapy can also help you recognize relationship patterns that keep you “stuck,” as well as directly confront change and transitions in your life. It can provide opportunities for healing from abuse and dysfunctional family-of-origin relationships.
