ABOUT OUR INDIVIDUAL THERAPY IN WASHINGTON
WHAT IS INDIVIDUAL THERAPY?
Respark’s individual therapy is talk-therapy centered and available either online in Texas, Colorado, or Washington. Or in-person for those in Colorado and Texas. During general therapy sessions, you have the opportunity to discuss your life, what seems to be affecting you negatively and, conversely, what positively affects you and how to encourage more joy. When you attend therapy with a Respark therapist, your sessions are spaces to discuss anything and everything, including your sexuality. All Respark therapists are AASECT Certified Sex Therapists and SHA Certified Sex Therapists, indicating their extensive research and study in the field of sexuality.
Because sexuality is often accompanied by past generational messages, political and/or religious influence, and damaging misinformation, your sexual identity may be under distress. We encourage and support you as we tease apart any preconceived and unproductive ideas you may still hold, which is true for all topics, not just sexuality. As a team, you and your Respark therapist will work towards improving and strengthening communication skills that enhance your intimacy and how to communicate your desires, both in and out of the bedroom. We believe being able to properly express your desires, while also understanding your partner’s or partners’ sexual identity and desires can be transcendent for your relationships.
Together we can resolve conflicts and light the fire by learning practical tools that will stick.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED THERAPY?
Individual therapy is for everyone–every person can benefit from some form of therapy. People of all ages, all cultures, and all demographics are seen in therapy. Cultural taboos, stigmas, shyness, embarrassment, or shame can affect the way people view and judge their life. There is no shame in getting help. At Respark, we are dedicated to helping you navigate through depression, anxiety, and other life stressors. Respark your love for life again. You are not alone!
