What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy, often referred to as psychotherapy, counseling, or talk therapy, is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. It is designed to help individuals explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, and set personal goals. Through this therapeutic journey, individuals can find paths to personal growth, improved mental health, and satisfying relationships with family and peers.
How An Individual Therapy Program Works
An individual therapy program typically begins with an initial assessment. The therapist will ask questions about your life and background to better understand the issues you’re facing. This is an opportunity for you to discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy.
Based on this initial conversation, the therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan. This may include setting goals for therapy and deciding on the frequency of sessions.
During the therapy sessions, you will talk about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your therapist may use various therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or other methodologies depending on your specific needs.
As you progress through therapy, the therapist will help you build skills to manage and cope with your issues. The ultimate goal is for you to achieve the personal growth and change that you are striving for.
