Individual Therapy
A safe space to understand yourself, break free from stuck patterns, and build the life you want
Therapy That Goes Beyond the Surface
Individual therapy provides a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained professional. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you gain clarity, develop new skills, and create meaningful change.
At Bountiful Counseling, we believe that real change takes more than surface-level advice. Our approach focuses on understanding the deeper patterns that keep you stuck — the ones that show up in your relationships, your emotions, and the way you see yourself. When you understand those patterns, you gain the power to change them.
What to Expect
In individual therapy, you will work one-on-one with either Paul or Mara to explore what is happening in your life and what you would like to change. Here is what that looks like:
Understand the patterns that keep you stuck
Many of the problems we face are not random — they are driven by patterns we developed earlier in life. Therapy helps you see those patterns clearly so you can begin to change them intentionally.
Process difficult emotions and experiences
Some emotions are too heavy to carry alone. Therapy gives you a space to work through grief, anger, fear, and sadness with someone who is trained to help you make sense of them.
Develop healthier coping strategies
We all develop ways of coping with stress and pain. Some of those strategies serve us well, and others hold us back. Therapy helps you identify what is working and build new, healthier ways of managing life's challenges.
Build self-awareness and emotional regulation
The more you understand your own emotional world, the better equipped you are to navigate it. Therapy builds the self-awareness and emotional skills that allow you to respond to life thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Work toward your personal goals
Therapy is not aimless. Together, we will identify what matters most to you and work toward concrete goals — whether that is improving relationships, reducing anxiety, or becoming more confident in who you are.
Common Issues We Address
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Here are some of the most common concerns we help with:
Anxiety and worry
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, or physical tension that interferes with your ability to enjoy life and feel at ease.
Depression and low mood
Lingering sadness, loss of motivation, or a sense of emptiness that makes it hard to engage with the people and activities you care about.
Relationship difficulties
Repeating patterns in relationships, difficulty with boundaries, or struggles with trust and vulnerability that keep you from the connections you want.
Life transitions and stress
Navigating career changes, moves, divorce, faith transitions, or other major life shifts that leave you feeling unmoored.
Self-esteem and identity
Struggling with your sense of self, feeling like you do not measure up, or questioning who you are and who you want to become.
Anger and emotional regulation
Difficulty managing intense emotions — whether that means explosive reactions or shutting down and going numb.
Trauma and past experiences
Unresolved pain from the past that continues to show up in your present — whether through flashbacks, avoidance, or patterns you cannot seem to break.
Our Approach
We draw on evidence-based approaches tailored to your specific needs. Our primary frameworks include Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and psychodynamic therapy, both of which focus on understanding the deeper emotional patterns that drive behavior.
Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level advice, we help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself — how your early experiences shaped you, how your emotions influence your choices, and how your relationships reflect your inner world. This kind of insight leads to changes that last.
We also believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is a vehicle for change. The safety and trust you experience with your therapist can become a model for the kind of relationships you want to build in your life.
Is Individual Therapy Right for You?
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of our clients come in because something feels off — they are stuck in the same patterns, their relationships are not where they want them to be, or they just know that something needs to change.
If you have been thinking about therapy, that is already a sign that you are ready. You do not need to have it all figured out before you start. You just need to be willing to show up and do the work.
We offer a free consultation call so you can ask questions, get a feel for how we work, and see if we are the right fit — with no obligation.
