What is adult therapy?

Adult therapy is individual counseling that helps improve the function of your life emotionally, behaviorally, and relationally. When you visit ACT Family Therapy, your counseling sessions offer a time to explore ways to better your life.

Adult therapy can address a variety of concerns — from general stress to recovering from trauma to certain mental health conditions. You can rely on Karen’s expertise and professional guidance to help you achieve your desired, successful results.

This type of therapy teaches you coping strategies, improves your habits, strengthens your communication skills, gives you greater confidence, and helps you solidify a sense of meaning and purpose.

During adult therapy, you can address the past and focus on issues that might prevent you from reaching your present goals. Adult therapy at ACT Family Therapy works to help pave the way for you to have a brighter future and happier life.

Why might I need adult therapy?

Adult therapy can help with a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Depression
  • General anxiety
  • Social anxiety
  • Excessive worry
  • Panic disorder
  • Grief
  • Trauma and loss
  • Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Anger issues
  • Mood swings
  • Relationship problems
  • School or work difficulties
  • Stress management

Adult therapy can also help you implement healthy living skills.

How does adult therapy work?

As an individual, your situation is unique. Adult therapy isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” formula. Karen first assesses your symptoms and learns about your lifestyle and circumstances that might influence your present needs.

She may use any of the following treatments:

  • Talk therapy
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Psychoeducation in trauma-focused therapy
  • Internal family systems therapy
  • Narrative therapy
  • Attachment theory therapy
  • Play therapy for adults

Karen also specializes in the Havening technique, which uses touch on your upper body while involving counting, visualization, and moving your eyes. It promotes a coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, trauma, and pain. This type of therapy also aims to change the way your brain processes certain memories to relieve you of pain and harmful behaviors.
