Helping You Navigate Life’s Difficult Moments with Empathy, Insight, and Support

What is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a collaborative process between you and a trained therapist. In a safe and confidential setting, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The goal of individual therapy is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, improve your relationships, manage your emotions effectively, and achieve your personal goals.

Our Approach to Individual Therapy

At the Center of Revitalizing Psychiatry, we believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and we tailor our approach to meet your individual needs and goals. Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based modalities, allowing us to provide you with the most effective treatment possible.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT teaches skills for managing emotions, coping with distress, and improving relationships.
• Psychodynamic Therapy: Explores the roots of the current issue.
• Trauma-Informed Therapy: For individuals who have experienced trauma, we offer specialized therapies to help process and integrate traumatic memories and develop coping skills. [Internal link to Trauma Page]
• Person Centered Therapy: This approach is client lead and focuses on support and creating a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and patient.

We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and feelings.

What to Expect in Individual Therapy

The first individual therapy session typically involves an initial assessment. The therapist will ask questions about your history, current concerns, and goals for therapy. This initial session helps the therapist understand your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. This assessment session is around 60 minutes, follow up sessions are usually 50.

Subsequent sessions will focus on working toward your goals, developing coping skills, and addressing any underlying issues that may be contributing to your difficulties. Your therapist will provide guidance, support, and feedback, and you’ll work together to create positive changes in your life. The specific format and content of therapy sessions will vary depending on your individual needs and the therapeutic approach used. Session occurs on a weekly or biweekly schedule to ensure that the patient gets the best care, however that is up to the descretion of the therapist.
