What to Expect in Individual Therapy:
When you start individual therapy at Big Valley Therapy, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you’ll feel seen and supported.
Here’s what the process often looks like:
First Sessions – Building Safety and Understanding:
We’ll start by exploring your story, your goals for therapy, and what’s been holding you back. Together, we’ll identify the emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
Middle Work – Healing at the Root Level:
Using approaches like EFT, IFS, and EMDR, we’ll go beyond surface coping. You’ll begin healing the deeper emotional wounds, unmet needs, and inner conflicts that fuel anxiety, depression, addiction, or relational disconnection.
Later Stages – Rebuilding Connection with Self:
As healing unfolds, we’ll help you build emotional resilience, develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others, and strengthen your connection to your authentic Self.
Throughout the process, you’ll experience moments of clarity, emotional release, empowerment, and new hope for lasting change.
