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. 

Types of Individual Psychotherapy 

There are a number of effective types of individual psychotherapy. Some work better than others in treating certain disorders and conditions. In many cases, therapists use a combination of individual therapy techniques.
