how individual counseling sessions help
Distress has a negative connotation. As humans, we tend to avoid painful things, but distress, worry, anxiety, sadness, anger, pain, and other big feelings exist for a reason. At Kindman & Co., we don’t think that experiencing pain means that there is anything wrong with you. We see your distress as vital feedback about your environment. We value humanness and messiness, and use social justice-informed, holistic approaches to mental health and wellbeing.
At Kindman & Co., therapy is a collaborative relationship between you and your therapist. This relationship creates a safe space to help you understand why you are experiencing big feelings, teaches you how to better handle these emotions, supports you to create a thriving community for yourself, and strengthens your capacity to advocate for what you believe in. You may consider individual therapy with us for many reasons, including:
Managing Big Feelings – feel less overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, stress, grief
Improving Relationships – build community & develop skills to feel more connected, supported, and understood by your loved ones
Embracing Authenticity – know and accept yourself for exactly who you are not who you think you “should” be, advocate for yourself, and show yourself more compassion
Navigating Tough Situations – grief, breakups, toxic work environments, big choices, or challenging family dynamics
Achieving Goals – build clarity around what you’re wanting and define the essential steps to getting there
Healing Trauma – whether a single event or the accumulated impact of a lifetime of oppression and marginalization, trauma scars us by disconnecting us from our vitality and sense of safety, therapy can help you start to feel alive again and rebuild your sense of agency
Cultivating Resilience – learn to harness your innate strengths and to use your body to support you to meet life’s challenges with increased ease
Supporting Social Values – process feelings of sociopolitical grief and anxiety regarding forces of systemic oppression and the climate crisis through inspired actions that promote collective wellbeing
Finding Joy and Purpose – connect with what really matters to you, embrace playfulness, and be your most vibrant self
I'm fine. I'll figure this out. Do I need individual therapy?
People are amazingly resilient. The odds are good that you will be able to get through this difficult situation on your own. Many of our clients come to us after years of managing or getting through by themselves, and we’re constantly in awe of the capacity of people to survive painful and traumatic experiences. But we also know that surviving all that pain alone comes at a cost.
Humans are social creatures; we’re not really meant to try and heal alone. Our cultural focus on individualism and self-sufficiency has placed an emphasis on personal growth and capacity, without acknowledging that dealing with tough situations and big emotions alone will often manifest as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or disconnection from others. Individual therapy sessions at Kindman & Co. are a space for you to heal in relationship. Our Highland Park, Los Angeles therapists can collaboratively help you recognize the sources of your pain, better understand what your distress is alerting you to, process your big feelings, and learn to advocate for your own needs so that you don’t have to accept pain as your “normal.” You can lead a satisfying and joyful life, AND you don’t have to get there on your own.
