Understanding the Importance of Therapy

Therapy is more than just talking about your problems. It's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. By working with a trained therapist, you can gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, behaviors, and relationships. This newfound awareness can empower you to make positive changes in your life, improve your relationships, and enhance your overall well-being.

Services Offered at INNERWORKS

At INNERWORKS, we offer a variety of services designed to meet the unique needs of our clients. These include:

• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with Susan provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through these sessions, you can work through personal issues, develop coping strategies, and learn to manage stress more effectively.

• Intensive Family of Origin Programs: These three-day programs focus on developmental immaturity, also known as codependence, stemming from childhood experiences. By examining your family dynamics and early life experiences, you can gain a deeper understanding of your current behaviors and relationships.
