Mental Health Counseling for Individuals

Person-Centered Therapy for Individuals

A Unique, Personalized Approach to Mental Health

This means that therapy sessions will look different for everyone, as all individuals are unique.

As your therapist, Dr. MacTernan will follow your lead when it comes to your goals and the changes that you want to make. Her role will be more of a coaching role, that focuses on your strengths in order to reach those goals.

How Much Therapy Will I Need?

Just as every person is unique, with unique strengths and challenges, so is the therapy timeline.

Dr. MacTernan will customize her approach for each client, and the recommendation for the frequency of sessions will vary. However, she usually sees the best results when clients start out with weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

To make scheduling and attending sessions easier on clients, Dr. MacTernan offers telemental health sessions, so clients can get the counseling services they desire from the comfort of their own home.
