Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions at Wellness Outside the Box last 45 mins and include Dr. Kinderman, Dr. Yanek and the client. We utilize an eclectic approach involving multiple therapeutic modalities. Some of the benefits of individual therapy include:

• Identifying ways to cope with stress and developing specific problem-solving strategies.
• Examining a person’s interactions with others and offering guidance with social and communication skills.
• Cultivating self-compassion and healing through interaction with nature.
• Working through grief via animal-assisted therapy.
• Mindfulness and relaxation techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises.
• Exposure therapy for people with anxiety disorders. In exposure therapy, a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a person spends brief periods in a supportive environment, learning to tolerate the distress caused by certain items, ideas, or imagined scenes. Over time, the fear associated with these factors may dissipate.
• Tracking emotions and behaviors to raise awareness about the impact of each on the other.
• Creating a safety plan to help someone with thoughts of self-harm or suicide recognize warning signs and employ coping strategies.
