What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy provides a confidential, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trained professional. It’s an opportunity to understand yourself better, work through challenges, and develop healthy coping strategies for life’s difficulties. Our approach is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or simply want to grow as a person, individual therapy offers the tools and support you need to create positive change in your life.
Virtual Therapy
If you struggle with commuting, have a hectic work life, or simply have obligations that "get in the way" of accessing help, this is the option for you!
Virtual therapy sessions are held via Video for Healthcare.

What to Expect
Your first session will focus on understanding your current concerns, mental health history, and goals for therapy. We’ll work together to create a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and preferences. Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes and occur weekly, though frequency can be adjusted based on your needs. Our conversations are completely confidential, and you can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
The Healing Process
Step 1: Building Rapport and Safety:
We begin by creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to share openly and authentically without fear of judgment.
Step 2: Exploring and Understanding:
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to gain insight into your patterns and the root causes of your challenges.
Step 3: Learning and Growth:
You’ll develop new coping strategies, communication skills, and healthy behaviors that support your mental health and overall well-being.
Step 4: Integration and Independence:
We’ll work on applying what you’ve learned to your daily life and gradually build your confidence to manage challenges independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does individual therapy take?
The length of therapy varies greatly depending on your goals and the complexity of your concerns. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (8-12 sessions), while others find longer-term therapy (6 months to several years) more helpful. We’ll regularly check in about your progress and adjust as needed.
2. What if I don't know what to talk about?
This is completely normal, especially in the beginning. Your therapist will help guide the conversation and ask questions to help you explore your thoughts and feelings. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out before you start.
3. How do I know if therapy is working?
You might notice improvements in your mood, relationships, stress levels, or ability to cope with challenges. Progress isn’t always linear, and some weeks may feel harder than others. We’ll regularly discuss your progress and adjust our approach as needed.
4. Is everything I say really confidential?
Yes, with very few exceptions. We’re required to break confidentiality only if there’s imminent danger to yourself or others, suspected child or elder abuse, or if records are subpoenaed by a court. We’ll discuss these limits during your first session.
5. What's the difference between therapy and talking to friends?
While friends provide valuable support, therapists are trained professionals who can offer objective perspectives, evidence-based techniques, and specialized knowledge about mental health. Therapy provides a structured, confidential space focused entirely on your growth and healing.
