One-on-one counseling, also called individual therapy or psychotherapy, can help individuals learn about their moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. For therapists, it’s the most common and consistently asked for a way to treat clients who need help for treating their mental health problems. Therapists today have a vast array of techniques to help people understand their emotions and thoughts. For clients, it’s the beginning of a new journey towards better health. Therapy can help people become more conscious about themselves, their world, and their relationships. Our therapy sessions can help resolve many of the conflicts and stresses that affect anyone.
Your First Individual Therapy Session
With one-on-one individual therapy, our therapist will begin by gathering information about you, your needs, and for you to know your therapist! Our therapists will first ask you about your current and past physical and emotional health and may give you some questionnaires about what you’ve been experiencing so far in your life. This session, while it may feel uncomfortable at first, allows you to feel your session’s mood, how you communicate with your therapist, and see if their approach will help you with your issues.
Our therapists have qualified licensing and education to back up their techniques, and we can provide you with multiple therapy methods to help with your needs. We will determine goals, the lengths of your sessions, and the types of therapy you need best to help you understand the underlying thoughts and emotions that negatively impact your life. We encourage questions, and we hope to be able to bring you a positive environment with our sessions to give you peace of mind.
While many forms of psychotherapy exist, we can provide multiple techniques to help your situation, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Interpersonal relationship therapy
- Psychoanalysis therapy
- Dialectical behavioral therapy
- And more!
For our practice, our therapy sessions are customized and unique to the individual. Our therapy sessions thrive for personal growth, revealing subconscious emotions and thoughts. Once understanding is achieved, we can give coping mechanisms to handle current thoughts and feelings when faced with everyday challenges.
