Individual therapy FAQs

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.

I’ve been working with Dorothy for a long time now and knowing I have someone who understands me and has helped me through some really challenging phases of my life is very comforting. When I have a bad week or something throws me for a loop a thought that helps get me through is that I’ll be able to tackle the issue in therapy and with someone who I think truly understands where I’m coming from. I feel like I’ve grown a lot since starting and the tips I’ve received over the years have really helped shape me for the better. I’m very thankful for this counseling relationship, and it’s allowed me to improve in areas where I’ve previously been struggling.
