What is Individual Counseling?
Individual counseling is a one-on-one therapeutic experience designed to help people address a variety of mental health challenges and life difficulties. In this personalized approach, you’ll meet with a licensed therapist who will collaborate with you to explore your concerns, identify goals, and develop strategies for achieving positive change.
Whether you’re struggling with everyday stress, long-standing emotional difficulties, or significant life transitions, individual counseling offers a confidential space for reflection, growth, and healing.
How Does Individual Counseling Work?
The process of individual counseling begins with an initial consultation. This session helps you and your therapist get to know each other and determine the focus of your therapy. From there, you’ll work together to set goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Counseling sessions typically last around 50 minutes and take place weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs and preferences. Your therapist will use a variety of therapeutic techniques based on your unique situation. These might include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, or other evidence-based approaches designed to help you better understand your thoughts and behaviors.
