What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is providing clients with a safe space to learn about themselves and what is hindering them. I find the best benefit in allowing clients to choose what they would like to talk about because it allows me as the clinician to get to know them better.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy: psychoeducation (information about the diagnosis), self-awareness (checklist), grounding techniques (worksheets), and emotional regulation (understanding and naming emotions).

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 are able to use the skills taught in everyday life and are able to recognize that they used them in an appropriate situation.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by practicing and incorporating their learned coping skills in everyday situations.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can write things down, such as questions you may have about therapy and the process, and symptoms you may be feeling.

Starting Individual therapy in San Antonio

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.

My therapist has completely changed my life, for the better. I came to Thriveworks with a lot of emotional issues that I just couldn't figure out how to manage. Since working with my therapist I've been able to express those feelings in healthy ways and start conversations with those I've been avoiding. I honestly don't know how I would've get through everything without her. She makes therapy less stressful and more fun than I ever thought it could be. Which has made it easier for me to open up.

The ease of conversation.. True care shown.. Wise words chosen.. When asked questions.. Questions usualy follow through and not end and feel like a interview observation through transparent glass. I now know what my wife's characteristics should be when I get one, basically I feel at complete comfort speaking, with her on sensitive matters. Ur scales are too low for me to rate her, she far exceeds anything such a 10 and a 100. .

I've had a very positive experience with my therapist. My only issue has been with the communication with Thriveworks which was cumbersome and difficult to navigate even with simple things like scheduling.
