Individual Therapy for Sustainable Healing.

Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and client that allows the person to work through their mental health struggles in a calm, safe, and confidential setting. Also known as individual psychotherapy, this kind of treatment is a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a therapist to develop healthy coping skills for the long term. The beauty of individual therapy is the opportunity for flexibility, as treatment plans can be easily structured around your needs and background.

What to Expect

If you haven’t been feeling like yourself for quite some time, and nothing seems to ease your stress, it may be time to visit a therapist. Sometimes we need the help of a therapist to strengthen our natural coping skills. The sooner you seek treatment, the faster you can move toward health and well-being.

Your First Therapy Session

During your first therapy session, the therapist will gather information about you, including your history and your goals. You may be asked to fill out forms about your physical and emotional health. Depending on your needs, your therapist will tailor each session to match your personal circumstances and challenges.

A primary aspect of individual psychotherapy is exploring the root cause of painful feelings, which can be difficult to face. Developing a trusting relationship with your therapist will help you gain confidence and self-knowledge.

Individual therapy typically takes place once a week or every other week in 45- to 50-minute sessions. Benefits of individual therapy include flexibility, the development of self-awareness and communication skills, understanding how to receive constructive criticism, and the deep level of analysis you will receive from your therapist.
