What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is developing an open and honest therapeutic relationship. I find a strong relationship helps to discuss and resolve clients' individual needs.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach tools to help manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I utilize emotion regulation, grounding techniques, and effective communication tools. We work together to help them apply to your individual needs.

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 we are developing a therapeutic rapport and achieving weekly goals.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with worksheets provided in session to implement tools and techniques to manage, anxiety, depression, and anger responses.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can think of three primary goals to attain during 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 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. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Zack Diamond Drake has some of the best ears around. If there is something dragging you down or simply holding you back, this individual will not only help you work through whatever it is, but help you to think through the process yourself. This, in my opinion, is the best kind of counseling there is. I would highly recommend his services.
