What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is to empower them to be their best selves. I do this by setting realistic goals for emotional and physical wellness. I challenge them to think out of the boxes they have put themselves in. I help them explore the past and move into their future, while all the time staying in the present.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach, support, and encourage the use of positive psychology. I focus on what can be done. I have my clients look into their own worthiness and self-care. We look at resilience across the lifespan and build on what has worked while tossing out what no longer serves one's sense of self.

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

I know when a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when I see the look on their face that says âI get it,â as well as when a client accepts accountability, continues to follow through, and is committed to self-growth.

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

Depending on the situation, clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with couples/family therapy, nature therapy, outside classes (i.e. yoga, painting), and following through with their PCP, making them a part of the treatment team. I focus on the whole person and their environment.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for one's first session, I suggest being honest and open-minded. Come with the attitude that you know this won't be easy, but that you are taking the first step to your best self because you are worth it.

Common approaches to Individual therapy

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?
