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?

I really appreciate the empathy I receive from Alex. Even more, I appreciate that he doesn't let me avoid looking at the hard things. My prior therapist made it easy for me to avoid talking about things that were difficult or uncomfortable.

Liz Laverty has been the best therapist I've ever has, and she's my eighth. She gets me thinking about things that have been important to my healing, things that I never thought to work out on my own. I've gone from never leaving the house to shopping and visiting friends. I still have work to do, but I'm confident that with Liz assisting me, I will get there.

My therapist, Rayla Johnson, is absolutely amazing! I have referred her to others who agree. When I did my intake, the person, I think his name was Ryan, thought I would be a good fit and was spot on! I was in rough shape when I called and he was so compassionate towards me. The entire staff that I have dealt with has changed me for the better in so many ways, so thank you!
