What types of individual therapy do we offer?
There’s no single right way to do therapy, so your therapist will choose an approach based on what you’re facing and what you’d like to change. Many of our clinicians blend methods — for example, practical skills from CBT alongside a gentle look at patterns from your past — so sessions fit you rather than a manual.
Approaches you may encounter in individual therapy include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Psychodynamic Therapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
- Solution-Focused Therapy
What is individual therapy?
Time and space that’s just yours
Individual therapy is a confidential, one-on-one conversation with a licensed clinician, focused entirely on you — your thoughts, feelings, relationships and goals. People often come to us for help with:
Over time, therapy gives you room to slow down, notice the patterns that keep you stuck and try new ways of responding. Your therapist offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence while you build practical coping skills, make sense of difficult experiences and move toward the changes that matter to you, at a pace that feels manageable.
Benefits of individual therapy
Decades of research show that talk therapy helps many people feel better and cope more easily day to day. The benefits often reach beyond the therapy room: clearer thinking at work, steadier moods at home and more confidence handling whatever comes next. Progress looks different for everyone, and your therapist will review it with you along the way.
Relief from distress
Ease the weight of anxiety, low mood and constant worry so everyday life starts to feel more manageable.
Practical coping skills
Learn tools for managing stress, difficult emotions and racing thoughts that you can use long after sessions end.
A clearer sense of self
Understand what drives your reactions and choices, so you can act from your values rather than old habits.
Stronger relationships
Practice clearer communication and healthier boundaries, and feel more connected to the people who matter to you.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Questions we’re often asked
Q1: Who can benefit from individual therapy?
Anyone who wants support with their emotional health — children from age 5, teens and adults. You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to start; feeling stuck is reason enough.
Q2: How long does therapy usually last?
It depends on your goals. Some people find a few months of focused work is enough, while others prefer longer-term support. You and your therapist will review progress together.
Q3: What happens in the first session?
Your therapist will ask what brings you in, a little about your history and what you hope will change, then suggest a plan. It’s also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
Q4: Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with limited legal exceptions related to safety, which your clinician will explain clearly in your first session.
Q5: How will I be matched with a therapist?
After your free 15-minute consultation, our team pairs you with a clinician based on your concerns, preferences, availability and preferred language.
