Individual Psychology Therapy

Working with an OMS Psychologist in one-on-one therapy can be a powerful journey of self-discovery, growth, and creating a life that feels more fulfilling.

You may be facing challenges like Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, Relationship stress, ADHD, Autism, Body image concerns, or Personality disorders. Or perhaps you’re unsure of what’s weighing you down, but you know you need support.

Your therapy journey will be tailored to your needs—whether short-term (around 6-10 sessions), medium-term (about 10-20 sessions), or longer-term (20+ sessions).

In therapy, you’ll work collaboratively with your psychologist to gain deeper insight into your struggles, uncover root causes, and develop strategies to move forward. Beyond just a diagnosis, we focus on what truly matters to you—helping you build lasting, meaningful change.
