Individual psychotherapy, also known as therapy, or “talk therapy”, refers to one-on-one work with a licensed mental health provider to address psychological, behavioral, and relational difficulties. Folx go to therapy for a variety of reasons such as: to reduce stress and unhealthy coping; to better understand themselves; to process and heal from adverse and traumatic experiences. Working with an individual therapist to co-create a plan to support your personal health goals can be transformative – regardless of whether you’re living with a diagnosed mental health condition or are simply seeking a safe space to talk.

The health of our relationships and partnerships are closely linked to our overall health and wellbeing. In adulthood, we have the opportunity to establish relationships with partners that can support healing and liberation.  

Couples that enter their own therapeutic process at ekoe learn effective ways to recognize and interrupt unhealthy patterns, support one another’s healing, and establish and maintain trust and healthy interdependence.

Family Therapy at ekoe is geared at addressing the needs and identified goals of family members and loved ones that have been impacted, directly or indirectly, by the relational conflicts, behavioral problems, mental health concerns, substance use and associated issues of another person. Family systems are quite resilient and, with proper support and therapy, families do find themselves meaningfully engaged in a life that reflects liberation, balance and joy. Family therapy is similar to couples therapy in that the relationship is the “client” over one specific person.

However, family therapy is distinct from couples therapy in that the relationship of focus is romantic rather than familial (regardless of biological tie). These services are available to families and loved ones whether one of more family members of concern (e.g., child, sibling, aging parent) are present for therapy or not.
