Individual Therapy

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."

— Carl Rogers

Individual therapy is one-on-one work between you and your therapist. Our philosophy stems from person-centered therapy: talk therapy led by you with support, empathy, and nonjudgment from your therapist. Whatever brings you into therapy will be met with space for processing and exploration. Sessions are collaborative and your therapist is dedicated to helping you build a clearer understanding of yourself so you can move forward with more confidence and less weight. You don’t need a crisis or “problem” to start therapy. Many people start therapy because they want a safe space to process their emotions, understand themselves, and make desired changes. We utilize several different types of therapy, dependent on your therapist and your treatment needs. Learn more about how we approach individual therapy below.

The Therapy Process

Consultation & Intake

Therapy begins with a brief 15-20 minute phone call to assess for fit between client and therapist, followed by a 50 - 90 minute intake session where the therapist gathers background information, history, current symptoms, and reason for seeking therapy.

Assessment & Goals

Initial therapy sessions will focus on exploring current challenges for you or your partnership. You and your therapist will identify what needs to address and collaboratively set both short-term and long-term goals to work towards.

Working Phase

As therapy progresses, the work deepens to understand how you think, feel, and connect with others. Moving beyond immediate concerns, your therapist and you will work on understanding the origin of patterns, process emotional pain, build healthier boundaries, and begin to shift long-standing beliefs about yourself and your relationships.

Maintenance

Session focus shifts from deepening insight to applying what you’ve learned in your daily life and relationships. This phase supports you in strengthening new patterns, maintaining emotional awareness, and navigating challenges with greater confidence and flexibility. Some clients choose to continue with periodic check-ins, while others may decide to conclude therapy when they feel ready, with the option to return as needed in the future.
