What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is the integrated approach, which is catered to each client's unique needs, as everyone is different. I enjoy watching clients succeed, and so it is important for me to cater treatment to their individual unique needs as well as their personality.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy, among many more:

  • Coping skills for anxiety that work on a physical, mental, and emotional level.
  • Working with each person's unique mind by identifying and analyzing patterns in thoughts and behaviors.
  • Introducing the right kind of structure into one's life, be it disciplined or creative in nature.
  • Working with your inner child.
  • Building self-esteem and living more authentically by analyzing internal desires and needs.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when the client reports they feel more confident and more satisfied with their current life and how they choose to live it.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by constantly working on digging deeper into themselves and finding compassion and acceptance for the self, while striving to be the best and most authentic version of themselves.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you have to establish the desire for change.

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.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
