Individual therapy (sometimes called "counseling" or “psychotherapy”) is a process through which people work one-on-one with a trained therapist toward desired change, in a safe, confidential and caring environment. In this setting they will explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through difficult or influential memories, better understand themselves and others, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, and set personal goals.

​

People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons, from coping with major life challenges or childhood trauma, to dealing with anxiety or depression. Others simply desire personal growth and exploration of self. A client and therapist may work together for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the individual's unique needs and personal goals for therapy.

​

Research has shown that the relationship between the client and the counselor is one of the most powerful factors that helps create change in therapy. Amber Lassally, LCSW-C is committed to providing individual therapy that is confidential, person-centered, and effective. She considers it the deepest honor and privilege to accompany clients on their therapeutic journey. Together with the client, she decides the approaches that will best suit each individual's needs and interests by meeting them where they are and joining them in what they face.
