What Is Individual Counseling?
Individual counseling, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a one-on-one process between a client and a licensed therapist. It is a collaborative effort focused on helping you understand yourself better, work through emotional difficulties, and create positive changes in your life. Through a safe and confidential environment, therapy allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with guidance and support.

You’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, any concerns you have, and your goals for treatment. Your therapist will also explain confidentiality policies, answer any questions, and work with you to develop a plan that meets your needs.
