What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is to first build rapport and work on finding goals in order to improve their quality of life. I find the best benefit in therapy is to have a safe, supportive place to come into and work on things that can be hard to face alone.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach:

  • Finding healthy coping skills
  • Knowing the difference between positive and negative coping skills
  • Setting healthy boundaries with work, family, and friends
  • Learning healthy communication skills
  • Understanding thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
  • Learning skills to replace negative thinking patterns

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are beginning to make small steps towards positive change in their life. Knowing and understanding that there are changes to be made is one aspect, starting to make those steps is next. In therapy, you can work on taking those steps and processing what works, what does not, and how it feels to make changes.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement individual therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by engaging in healthy coping skills and setting structure for themselves throughout their day.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

The first session of therapy focuses more on gathering information and getting to know one another. We ask questions regarding your mental and physical health, as well as about your family and friends. There is no need to prepare for a first session; be open to a new experience and know that it is okay to come in as you are.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, 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?

Yes, individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.

Is individual therapy conducted in person or online?

Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

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.

How much does individual therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Pricing & insurance

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 585+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.

Mr Sachs has been outstanding with his handling of our sessions. Personally, I believe that therapy/counseling is truly a personal experience and the therapist needs to be matched to the patient as much as the patient with the therapist. I feel like he was a perfect fit for what we needed with our sessions.
