You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Does life feel heavier than usual lately? Whether you are struggling with a lingering sense of anxiety, feeling disconnected from your own needs, or navigating a major life change on your own, it is natural to feel overwhelmed.
At Maplewood Counseling, we provide a compassionate, confidential space to sort through your thoughts and find practical ways to move forward. While we are widely recognized for our work with couples, we are equally dedicated to supporting individuals. You do not need to be in a relationship—or bringing a partner with you—to find a safe harbor here.
Our clinicians understand that your well-being is a complex tapestry. We help you understand the root of your distress, whether it stems from a personal struggle with depression, past trauma, or simply the stress of daily life. Our goal is simple: to help you find clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of hope.
Is This Your Journey?
Every person’s path is unique. Many of our clients come to us seeking support for personal growth, independent of any relationship issues. Do any of these experiences resonate with you?
- Coping with Persistent Anxiety: Does worry keep your mind racing or make it hard to relax? Whether or not your anxiety is tied to others, we provide tools to help you manage symptoms and reclaim your peace of mind.
- Struggling with Sadness or Depression: Perhaps you feel weighed down or stuck in a fog of hopelessness. Our therapists are here to help you work through these feelings, even if they seem to have no clear cause.
- Recovering from Trauma: Past experiences—whether recent or long ago—can cast a long shadow over your daily life. We offer trauma-informed care to help you process painful memories safely and regain your sense of security.
- Navigating Life Transitions: You might be dealing with a career shift, a move, grief, or the challenges of single parenthood. We provide steady support to help you find your footing during times of uncertainty.
- Exploring Identity & Purpose: Questions of who you are and what you want from life can be daunting. We provide a judgment-free zone to explore your values, identity, and future path.
- Relationship Patterns: Even if you are attending alone, you may want to understand why certain patterns keep repeating in your connections with others. We help you build healthier boundaries and communication styles for the future.

Why Choose Maplewood for Individual Therapy?
You might wonder: If you specialize in relationships, is this the right place for me as an individual?
The answer is yes. We believe that the most important relationship you will ever nurture is the one you have with yourself.
Because our clinicians are trained to see the whole picture, we offer a unique perspective on individual care. We understand that anxiety, depression, and trauma do not exist in a vacuum—they shape how you see the world, how you handle stress, and how you connect with others. By addressing your individual challenges, we often find that other areas of life naturally begin to improve.
What Sets Our Approach Apart:
- Holistic Perspective: We treat the full individual lifecycle, understanding how your inner world impacts your outer reality.
- Diverse Expertise: From CBT and mindfulness to trauma-informed care, we draw from proven techniques tailored to your specific needs.
- Inclusive & Affirming: We warmly welcome adults from all walks of life, including LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and multicultural individuals. Your identity and experiences are honored here.
