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. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.

I've been seeing Ashley for years, and she has done a great job supporting me while I navigate life stressors and changes (big and small).

Melissa really listens, and she is able to take what I say and then make connections to either what I have said or felt. She helps me make connections to how I live my life with ADD, PTSD, trauma. She helps me make sense of the hard stuff.

Cecilia has been fantastic during each of our sessions, and I look forward to each appointment. I've tried therapy before but it didn't feel as targeted, or nearly as personal as my time with Cecilia. I would recommend her to anyone who finds her bio/background and areas of expertise resonate with their needs.

Easy to use. Love virtual sessions. Melissa is wonderful. She's a good listener, has excellent insights, gives me meaningful feedback and education, and is comfortable to work with. I highly respect her skills and compassion.

Donisha meets me after business hours either in person or over the phone, going on two years now. She's young enough to be my daughter, and has a different perspective on life and people and relationship dynamics than I do, and isn't reticent to call me out on bad behavior or distorted thinking. She's guided me through and past three very toxic relationships and a hostile work environment, and instills hope but not at the expense of reality.

My trauma therapist does an excellent job of balancing time in sessions between helping me sort through current challenges and gently leading me back to keep digging deeper for roots of trauma responses and addressing those things.
