Individual therapy FAQs

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

Can individual therapy help me?

How long does individual therapy last?

The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.

Sarah is amazing, I don’t know what I would do without her. She and I click in a way where she understands exactly what I am trying to articulate. Her personality also balances with mine - she can make jokes, empathize, and really just engages the perfect amount. We are a great fit.

I had my first session with Veronica today and immediately felt comfortable. She was kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her!

Julie is incredible, with her I’ve gone from not wanting to be alive to thriving. The transformation is amazing, and a big piece of that has been my sessions with Julie.

My provider has been great! We’re still in the unpacking stage and there are times that I just need to vent about my previous week so the flexibility has been nice.

I got in quickly, i have both a therapist and med manager from thriveworks and both are incredibly attentive and professional, ive suggested thriveworks to several people and they've gotten matched with a therapist pretty quickly as well. My intake process was great and was invited to make my own decision to continue based on how strongly I felt the match was. My therapist is incredible and relatable. Too bad she is my therapist and not able to just be my friend bc I think we'd hit it off
