INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
Individual therapy is a collaborative process between the provider and client where problems are identified, discussed and worked on through the use of effective sound therapeutic interventions. The goal of individual therapy is to promote positive change, overcome obstacles in one's emotional well being, gain skills in handling difficult situations, managing stress, making healthy decisions, and obtaining goals while improving self-esteem and confidence.
What to Expect
Each session in individual therapy will last between 45-50 minutes in length. In addition to discussing the reasons that may have brought you to therapy, the first two sessions of meeting individually will consist of gathering information pertaining to your medical and mental health, family and social history to aid in understanding the "bigger picture" of you as a client on all different levels. Gathering initial information will help in our collaboration as provider and client, identify therapy goals and set a treatment plan that will best suit your needs to accomplish these goals. Also, the first two sessions of therapy will provide us an opportunity to determine whether or not my services are best suited for your needs.
As sessions continue past the second and third session, the presenting issues that brought one into therapy will continue to be discussed while positive healthy coping skills and ways of managing these issues are identified and put into practice in hopes of obtaining a more balanced, empowered and assertive outcome in achieving your therapeutic goals.
