Individual counseling is a personal and supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind with a licensed therapist. It’s a confidential process designed to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, one-on-one setting. Whether you’re working through things like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship struggles, or simply wanting to better understand yourself and grow, therapy offers a place where you can be heard and supported.
Each session is centered around you—your experiences, your goals, and what you hope to get out of it. Together with your therapist, you’ll explore patterns, build coping tools, and uncover insights that can help you make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. Sessions typically run 45 to 55 minutes, and you can decide whether short-term support or a longer journey feels right for you.
Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply want space to reflect, grow, and reconnect with yourself, individual counseling can be a powerful step toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Individual counseling is a team effort between you and your therapist, aimed at helping you understand yourself better, tackle personal challenges, and make meaningful changes. Here’s what to expect along the way.
In your first session, your therapist will usually ask about your background, what’s on your mind right now, your goals, and your mental health history. This helps them get to know you better and figure out the best way to support you
You and your therapist will work together to set clear, realistic goals for therapy. These goals help guide your sessions and give you a way to see your progress over time.
Regular sessions—usually weekly or every other week—give you a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your therapist might use different approaches based on what works best for you, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, or solution-focused techniques.
Throughout counseling, you’ll work on building coping skills, improving communication, spotting patterns, and deepening your self-awareness. Your therapist will support and guide you, providing tools to help you bring these insights into your daily life.
Therapy is flexible. As you grow and change, your therapist might help you revisit your goals or explore new areas that matter to you. Keeping an open conversation makes sure the process stays helpful and meaningful.
When you’re feeling good about your progress and ready to finish therapy, you and your therapist will team up to create a plan for a gentle wrap-up or to move into ongoing support if that’s right for you.
