Damaris Aragon provides Individual Therapy at Aragon Mental Health, LLC

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy helps clients work through difficult times by exploring behaviors, feelings, and thoughts one-on-one with a professionally trained therapist. Therapy allows clients to identify aspects of their lives they want to change, find goals to reach or nurture better relationships with others. Therapy gives you a safe, confidential space to help you break down the barriers that are holding you back.

People find individual therapy useful for many situations, from dealing with anxiety or depression, challenging issues in life or addressing mental health issues.

Individual psychotherapy successfully treats many mental health issues, like:

Mood disorders, like bipolar disorder or depression.
Anxiety disorders, like panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, or panic disorder.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating.
Schizophrenia.

However, you do not need to be diagnosed with a mental illness to get big benefits from individual psychotherapy. Here are just a few examples of the many situations where individual therapy is helpful:

Cope with major or disruptive life changes and events, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job or change in career.
Learning anxiety and stress management skills.
Conflict resolution and better interpersonal relationships.
Learn to reduce unhealthy behaviors, like temper outbursts.
Learn how to deal with sexual abuse or other traumas, including violence.
