As a cis, queer man from the evangelical South, I understand the intersectionality of power and privilege impacting those with marginalized identities.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is a person-centered approach. Everyone is so unique; I want to find out about you first. There are techniques, homework, and other ways to implement change, but if it doesn't fit in with what works for you, it won't be effective.
I believe there are several steps that will help in the process of therapy. The first is to increase awareness of the issues going on in people's lives. To achieve this, one needs to look at the patterns that a person engages in. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as journaling, processing one incident deeply, tracking tools, etc. When there is awareness, then you need to move on to what is the impact of the issue. Is it really something that you want to change? The client has to be driving the bus on this one. I may personally think that something should change in someone's life, but if they don't, there cannot be any change. Finally, the client needs to learn new ways to manage and implement those changes. This is often the hardest step because there can be pushback from others in your life. This is part of the process to learn how to deal with that pushback.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they tell me! It might be simple, but when they share any decrease in symptoms, progress in implementing the coping skills, or feeling more joy in their lives or increased hope in their future, I know there's progress.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by writing down ideas to talk about in therapy in order to try to remember what happened in the week. Everyone does this; there is so much going on in our lives that it's hard to remember what you did yesterday, let alone in a whole week. It helps to jot down some notes about what happened during the week.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can jot down questions or concerns you have about starting therapy. It is an overwhelming process to gather the energy to start therapy. I understand how it feels to have to talk to a stranger about what you are going through. It can be scary. I find that writing these thoughts and feelings down can help you gear up for the first session.
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.
