What is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a process where you work one-on-one with a trained mental health professional in a confidential setting. It provides a dedicated space to address personal challenges, explore emotions, and develop strategies for improved mental and emotional well-being. This collaborative process helps individuals gain insight, resolve conflicts, and achieve personal growth.

Our approach is highly individualized, ensuring that each session addresses your specific needs and supports your personal growth.

Testimonials

I was referred to Dr Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After relatively only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
