Individual Therapy for Adults
Individual therapy is a collaborative process built on safety, mutual trust, understanding, and respect between therapist and client. It offers a confidential, safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences. Through one-on-one sessions, you and your therapist can explore, understand, and gain insight about yourself, address and overcome challenges, improve relationships (with self and others), develop more adaptive coping strategies, and work towards your identified goals and personal adaptive healing.
The length and course of treatment are personalized to address each client's unique circumstances, needs, values, and goals.
Most individual therapy treatment plans involve 8-20 sessions, however, it can be difficult to achieve significant and lasting changes in fewer than 12 sessions.
Many clients begin to notice improvements in their mood and functioning and report feeling some relief from symptoms after the first 3 or 4 sessions.
