MRSI offers consumers the opportunity to engage
in individual therapy services with doctoral level
psychologists. Individual Therapy is a form of psychological
treatment provided by one therapist to one consumer, in contrast
with group therapies in which several individuals meet with one
or two therapists at a time to receive treatment. In Individual
Therapy, the therapist and consumer focus on whatever
difficulties led the consumer to pursue treatment. These
difficulties might include, but are certainly not limited to,
depression, anxiety, sexual malfunction, eating disorders,
marital difficulties, difficulty coping with life stress,
trouble controlling anger, or general dissatisfaction in one or
more aspects of life. Ultimately, any situation that causes an
individual distress and/or interferes with the ability to
perform optimally in one's life (e.g., family relationships,
work, school, etc.) can be treated in individual therapy.
Through discussion of one's specific difficulties with a
therapist, an individual is able to develop a better
understanding of the factors influencing his or her
difficulties, and consequently, to discover the freedom
necessary to make choices that will dispose of difficulties.
Often, by investing time in addressing specific problems in
individual therapy and by investing time to learn ways to
understand oneself outside of the therapy, improvements extend
to other aspects of life and can be far-reaching by touching
parts of one's life that were not specifically addressed in
therapy. It is critical that an individual choose a therapist
who has the training and experience necessary to treat one's
specific problem. The staff members at MRSI were assembled based
on their diversity of interests to address a variety of problems
in everyday living, and a phone call to MRSI could connect you
with someone specifically trained in helping you to work through
whatever personal difficulties you might be
facing.
