What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

Individual therapy is useful for many types of situations that cause stress, anger, grief, or conflict.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

It's important to recognize that everyone requires a unique approach to dealing with challenges, especially in therapy. Individualized client engagement is key for optimal benefit.

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

For individual counseling to be truly effective, you need to follow through with what you have learned outside of your sessions. This means putting into practice the skills and techniques that you have learned.

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

One of the best ways to get the most out of individual counseling is to attend your sessions ready and willing to learn. Be open to new ideas and be willing to try out new things.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

Individual therapy may be short-term (focusing on immediate issues) or long-term (delving into more complex problems). The first session will discuss the number of sessions and the frequency of appointments depending on the individual’s situation.

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?

Yes, individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, 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 take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

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.
