What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people with individual therapy is CBT. I find the best benefit in CBT because it offers the client support and accountability from the therapist.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Mindfulness: Being present and aware of thoughts, feelings, and experiences from moment to moment

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 they can accept accountability for their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

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

A client can supplement their time in individual therapy with voice dialogue or self-talk. This increases self-awareness.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can focus on the awareness of the self. This will create the freedom to express and exhibit the full person by “just being!”

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.

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 585+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.

It is obvious from working with Dr. Patricia Krikorian that counseling is not a career for her as much as it is a calling. She is compassionate, professional, non-judgmental, and supportive. Her ability to get to the root of the problem and provide helpful and personal counseling solutions is a testament to her years of counseling experience. I highly recommend Dr. Krikorian!! She is passionate about helping others!

I just wanted to say that Dr. Patricia Krikorian is a gem! She was my college professor and taught my Counseling class. She required us to be students of excellence because she is a woman of excellence. She passionately cares about helping anyone who needs guidance on how to navigate through life difficulties. She has many years of experience in her craft and takes pride in helping many throughout her career. She is by no means a novice and is well-respected by me and others.
