Individual therapy provides a highly personalized approach to addressing your unique challenges and goals through psychotherapy. Unlike group therapy, which is more generalized, individual therapy offers a private space where you receive undivided attention from a trained therapist. This setting is especially beneficial for tackling complex relationship issues or specific mental disorders, allowing for a tailored focus on your individual concerns. In these one-on-one sessions, you work with a licensed therapist to understand and overcome personal obstacles, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve your therapeutic goals. Embrace this opportunity to focus solely on yourself and your journey toward healing and self-improvement.
Individual therapy is a private, one-on-one session between you and a licensed therapist. It provides a safe, confidential space to explore personal challenges, emotions, behaviors, set goals, and improve overall mental well-being.
Individual therapy gives you the therapist’s full attention and is completely tailored to your unique needs and experiences. Group therapy involves multiple people sharing experiences together, offering peer support but less personalized focus.
Your first session (often called an intake) is mostly about getting to know you. Your therapist will ask about your current concerns, symptoms, history, relationships, and goals to understand your situation and begin creating a personalized treatment plan.
It varies widely. Some people resolve specific issues in 6–12 sessions, while deeper or ongoing concerns may benefit from several months or longer. You and your therapist regularly review progress and decide together when goals are met.
Most people start with weekly sessions. As symptoms improve, many move to biweekly or monthly maintenance sessions. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your needs and progress.
Yes — individual therapy is one of the most effective treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and many other conditions, especially when using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, or psychodynamic therapy.
It helps you understand your patterns in relationships, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, process past hurts, and develop skills that lead to stronger, healthier connections with others.
It’s normal to feel nervous at first. If discomfort continues, tell your therapist openly — many issues can be worked through. If it still doesn’t feel right, it’s perfectly okay to request a different therapist. Fit matters.
Yes. Everything you share is strictly confidential, protected by law and professional ethics. The only exceptions are if there’s imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or certain legal situations (e.g., court order).
If you’re struggling with emotions, stress, relationships, past trauma, mental health symptoms, or simply want to grow and understand yourself better — individual therapy can help. The best way to know is to try an initial session.
