What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My approach to therapy is person-centered. I enjoy person-centered therapy because it meets people where they are and lets them set their goals at their own pace to explore their experiences and gain self-confidence.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach clients how to improve self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-esteem, and coping skills around anxiety and depression, especially.

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

I know a client is making progress when they are setting better boundaries, are more confident in their lives, and have more insight into their own behavior.

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

I encourage clients to do good self-care in their personal time, like implementing good sleep patterns, having good boundaries, engaging in thoughtful behavior, keeping a journal, doing artwork, getting plenty of rest, eating good food, and finding good company to be around.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

I encourage people to start therapy right where they are emotionally-just set aside an hour and we'll figure out the rest together.

Starting Individual therapy

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?

Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, 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 accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

I was in great need of an in-person therapist. I've grown tired of being stuck in the zoom room for years now, like many people. Thankfully, I was able to schedule an appointment and get started at the local Thriveworks office. And I'm grateful for my therapist. I feel like I'm making great strides forward in a fraction of the time it took me to make similar progress with online therapy/counseling. Setting matters.
