Individual Therapy

The Therapeutic Essentials.

What works in therapy has been studied for more than 50 years now.  The research is clear that more than any given therapeutic approach, the most important variable is the “fit” between the therapist and client and the key to “fit” is that the therapist provides the therapeutic essentials of non judgement, empathy, and authenticity.  At VAULT, we place the most emphasis on creating a professional relationship with you that provides you with the best chance of creating meaningful change and that places you in the drivers seat of change.

There is a documentary on Netflix called “Lennox Hill.” In that documentary, the neurosurgery team talks about how they treat each patient and provide their services as though the patient was a member of their own family.  At VAULT that is our promise to you.  We will work with you and for you with as much care as we would provide a member of our own family.

Individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, anxiety depression, trauma, grief, self harm, interpersonal challenges. Individuals may also seek therapy to explore areas of identity, self criticism, resolve unfinished business with a signicant other or emotional blocks that get in the way of advancing forward. 

Whether you’re interested in soothing mental health difficulties, or improving your relationship with others, we tailor our approach to what fits you best. Using an attachment-based and trauma informed lens, we can untangle inner conflict to help you arrive at a greater sense of emotional clarity. Each individuals’ needs in therapy, and hopes for desired change are unique, requiring therapists to be flexible and adaptive in their approach to therapy. Though we are trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, we strive to develop goals collaboratively with clients in therapy, drawing from various perspectives, techniques, and strategies to help empower you to be your own agent of change.

Parent Support

  • Parent support recognizes the stress and needs of parents/caregivers of an individuals, regardless of their age, with mental health challenges. We offer you support through an evidence based therapy that aims at supporting parents and caregivers in navigating emotions and parenting. In these sessions we use Emotion Focused Skills Training for Parent’s (EFST-P) which was developed by Dr. Joanne Dolhanty. This model emerged from Dr. Dolhanty’s pioneering work empowering parents to adopt a significant role in the recovery of a loved one suffering from a mental health problem. EFST is rooted in the deep and unwavering belief in the healing power of families. We believe that parents are a large part of their loved one’s recovery and this level of support is meant to help you see for yourself that this is true.

  • If you are a parent/caregiver who has a loved one of any age (young child, adolescent or adult child) suffering from a mental health, physical health problem, or other problems such as social or educational struggles you may benefit from parent support.

  • Parent support sessions can be booked to supplement the learning that you accomplished by either attending one of VAULT Psychotherapy’s Emotion Focused Skills Training Workshops/Groups or by purchasing Dr. Joanne Dolhanty’s online EFST program that allows you to work at your own pace. Regardless of how you were introduced to the content of Emotion Focused Skills Training parent support sessions are meant to support you integrate and generalize what you learned to support you and your loved ones well being and relationship repair.

FAQs

  • Your first session involves us meeting and beginning to unpack what brings you to therapy, your background and this may involve a brief case history. The goals of therapy are then formed and based on a collaborative effort to help develop an understanding of what is troubling you, the source of that discomfort, and how to move beyond your difficulties to at least, a non-harmful approach to balance and live your life. You are encouraged to talk about whatever issues you wish and it is equally important that you not talk about anything that you wish not to disclose. You are viewed as the expert on yourself and the therapist is there to help uncover and deepen your expertise.

  • You will get as much out of therapy as you are willing to put into it. We will incorporate different exercises as well as talk and ask questions to facilitate your growth and recovery. This experience will be amplified by your willingness to spend time with yourself and work on what has been discussed in therapy, between sessions. This way, you will develop the skills and ability to overcome difficult experiences and emotions and to deepen your self-awareness when you are on your own, in between sessions, and long after therapy has ended.
