My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is very eclectic, and client-centered. I find the best benefit in working from a psychodynamic perspective because our past experiences greatly inform how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us. I then will work in different therapeutic approaches based upon the client’s needs, and what they feel works best for them.
I teach the following tools in individual therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when skills and tools learned during sessions are used without much effort outside of sessions in daily life, leading to a reduction in symptoms, and an increase in overall mood.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by journaling, logging their moods, practicing skills, and completing any homework given. The majority of the work done in therapy takes place not during session, but rather outside in our daily lives.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can think about “why now?” What is bringing you into therapy at this time? What symptoms are you experiencing? How long have you been experiencing them? What are you most hoping to accomplish in therapy? What changes do you want to see? If you have been in therapy before, what worked well for you? What did not work well for you?
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.
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.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
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.
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.
