What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy is a customized, one-on-one approach to therapy that helps you better understand yourself in a safe, confidential space.The individual therapists at North Brooklyn Marriage and Family Therapy use a uniquely systemic, relational approach that accounts for the totality of your situation.

Our therapists help clients see the big picture of their lives and connect thoughts and emotions to their behaviors and life circumstances. This deeper understanding of who you are and what is meaningful in your life can help you achieve a greater sense of autonomy, authenticity, and wholeness.

Why Individual Therapy
