What is therapy?
Therapy serves many purposes. It's a safe place to process current and past events. It's an opportunity to learn new skills that will help you cope with distressing emotions, and to function better in relationships and other important areas of your life. It's a place to make sense of things and to find meaning and value in life. In short, it is designed to make your life better.
At Three Rivers Counseling and Consulting, we believe it is a collaborative process between you and your therapist, designed to meet your goals and concerns.
The duration and frequency of therapy sessions varies depending on your needs and goals. Some people may engage in short-term therapy to address specific issues, while others may choose longer-term therapy for ongoing support and personal growth.
Therapy is a valuable tool for improving mental and emotional well-being and achieving personal goals.
We provide individual therapy based on your needs. Each therapist at Three Rivers Counseling & Consulting will utilize evidence based practices and collaborate with you to develop your treatment plan.
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy, counseling, or talk therapy, is a therapeutic approach that involves a one-on-one interaction between a trained mental health professional and an individual seeking support and guidance for their emotional, psychological, and behavioral concerns. It is a confidential and collaborative process that aims to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work towards personal growth, healing, and improved mental well-being.
Couples counseling, also known as couples therapy or marriage counseling, is a form of therapy that focuses on helping couples improve their relationship, communication, and overall emotional well-being. It is designed to address conflicts, improve understanding between partners, provide tools to navigate challenges and create a healthier partnership.
Couples counseling can be beneficial for couples at various stages of their relationship, including those who are married, cohabiting, engaged, or dating. It can address a wide range of issues. During couples counseling, a trained therapist facilitates open and honest communication between partners. They may use various therapeutic techniques to help couples better understand each other's perspectives, develop effective communication skills, and learn strategies for resolving conflicts constructively. This typically involves both partners attending sessions together. The frequency and duration of sessions depend on the specific needs of the couple and the therapist's recommendations. Successful couples counseling requires commitment, openness, and a willingness to work collaboratively to improve the relationship.
Family therapy, also known as family counseling, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on improving the dynamics and relationships within a family unit. It involves working with multiple family members together, rather than just one individual, to address conflicts, communication and behavioral issues, and other challenges that impact the family as a whole.
Family therapy recognizes that individuals are interconnected and that issues affecting one family member can have ripple effects throughout the entire family system. The goal of family therapy is to enhance communication, understanding, and cooperation among family members, leading to healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
These sessions may involve all family members or specific subsets of the family, depending on the concerns being addressed. The frequency and duration of sessions can vary, but typically involve several sessions over a period of time.
This type of therapy is valuable for changing behavior, promoting better communication, helping families navigate challenges, and build stronger relationships.
