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.

I'm thrilled that I was matched with my clinician, Janeen Taylor. She's kind and professional. I feel very comfortable sharing my struggles with her. She encourages me with appropriate tools to improve my mental health, while gently nudging me to be an active participant in my healing journey. I can see positive changes in myself since I began working with Janeen, and so can my loved ones. I'm so thankful to, and for Janeen! I'm also very thrilled with thriveworks for pairing me with Janeen. I tell people on a regular basis to check out thriveworks. It's very hard to find a good clinician, and thrive works definitely makes the process easier. Thank you so much!

Dr. Jefferson showed that she was actually concerned about her patients well being. It felt like she was asking the right questions.

My entire experience so far has been great.. both my psychiatrist and therapist have been a good fit in my treatment.. I am learning new skills with each visit, and gain a little more insight as well.. the convenience of having video visits is an added plus since my anxiety keeps me from driving right now.
