What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is eclectic. I don't believe therapy is a one-size-fits-all type of thing because everyone is beginning therapy at different stages. Some have no experience sharing personal details of their life with anyone, while others may be an open book and ready to talk about everything.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Emotional freedom technique (i.e. tapping)
  • Breathing
  • Meditation
  • Bibliotherapy (reading various books as assigned, if needed)

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 start to have a shift in their personality or outlook and they are doing the work that leads them to progress.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by practicing techniques that were discussed in session as well as doing any homework or reading if assigned.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can have an understanding of family history of medical/mental health issues (if any), an idea(s) on goals you'd like to work on together as a team with me, and a willingness to change or make changes in your life.

Starting Individual therapy in Houston

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.
