What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is twofold. The first is to be sure I really understand and connect with the person to truly understand his/her unique situations and concerns. The second is to create an agreed-upon plan where we both are working to problem-solve and heal. I enjoy this collaborative approach because the more the person invests in the process, the more exciting and rewarding the journey becomes!

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach many tools in therapy and the most common is self-compassion. We can often use internal negative feedback as a way to motivate ourselves, but over time it can stop working (if it worked at all) and drag us down. We need to get out of that cycle!

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

I know when an individual is making meaningful progress in therapy because he/she is making changes outside of the therapy office.

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

I often give homework for clients to do outside of therapy. Podcasts, articles, books, journaling, and short essays can all help the client feel more empowered in their own healing journey.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first therapy session, you can list what you are struggling with and what you want to change. Becoming an active participant in your own therapy is the key to a successful experience in 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?

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.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.
