Therabridge

People who bottle up emotions and anger see conversations and vulnerability as a venture for emotional predators. Some of them also believe that therapy is a waste of time and money. You must wonder how sitting down and talking to a random person that is not like you (may not be from your race, may be older than you are, may seem privileged, maybe younger than you are) would help you get through certain traumas and feelings that you would rather forget. And yes, it seems like a dumb idea, till you understand that therapists were trained to catch a feel of what you are feeling and help you figure out the best approach to let go and move on.

As there are different types of individual therapy, not all of them would work for everybody. Some of them are more effective than others for certain issues with specific people. Sometimes, the solution may not require oral communication. Individual therapy can help to deal with depression, trauma, anxiety issues, anger management, and so on. Therapists build relationships with their patients based on trust and good listening ability. They start by gathering basic information and learning to understand their patients.

The types of individual therapy are: 

​

​

Psychodynamic Therapy

With psychoanalysis, therapists can help their patients understand their childhood experiences and their impact on their lives. Many individuals have struggled with anger due to traumatic events or the kind of environment they grew up in. Others have lost their loved ones in a violent way which can have a great impact on their lives. Psychodynamic Therapy is a type of therapy aimed at helping patients understand certain thoughts and behavioral patterns. It is not a solution-based therapy and it can be used to deal with anger management and cope with certain mental issues. 

 

At Therabridge, our specialists use Psychodynamic Therapy to help their patients understand behavioral patterns over time, and how to manage them or cope with them in various situations. 

 

​

Motivational Therapy

Many young persons struggle with addiction and substance abuse as they look for ways to get high and forget about their problems. They get high when they get rejected in a job interview, they Drink when they are dealing with a breakup, and so on. Motivational Therapy is used to treat patients dealing with addiction, substance abuse, and sometimes depression. 

 

It is a modern form of individual therapy where the therapist focuses on using ideas and strategies to incite motivation in the patient to put an end to something that might be harmful or attempt to achieve something amazing. Sometimes, the therapist might be required to give an ultimatum. For instance, a therapist whose patient is struggling with marijuana addiction may decide to draw out a 90 days plan, or a 6 months 'quit marijuana plan.'

 

At Therabridge, we try to engage our patients in an active process, creating unique and simple plans to help them fight addiction, alongside monitoring their progress.

 

​

Psychotherapy

An individual who grew up in a violent environment, and had probably lost a loved one to gun violence or gang affiliation, may be assertive or come out as forceful in certain situations because he thinks other people may try to intimidate him. Psychotherapy is aimed at helping the patient analyze how they have solved traumatic problems in the past, and now they can deal with bits of traumatic experiences still affecting them. Sometimes, an individual may need to forgive himself to be able to move forward. Other times, it may require them to forgive their offenders or move to a new environment to get a fresh start. 

 

At Therabridge, therapists sympathize and empathize with the patients, helping them to understand the causes of their issues, and the right techniques to solve them.
