What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My approach for helping people in individual therapy is facilitating awareness of their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, clients gain self-awareness and are able to gain more control behaviorally and emotionally.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

In individual therapy, I teach mindfulness, self-care, self-compassion, emotional regulation and balancing out logic with emotion. For anxiety disorders, I teach grounding and containment skills as well as management skills to calm the nervous system.

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 consistent with self-care, self-compassion and emotional regulation, and there is a decrease in debilitating symptoms.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with mental and emotional growth through reading books, listening to podcasts and journaling.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, make sure to complete all necessary forms and start a journal documenting physical and emotional symptoms that you notice.

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.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
