   | | Individual Psychotherapy Individual psychotherapy is a process in which the client and the therapist meet to explore areas of emotional and social difficulties which are affecting the client. These concerns may occur in school or in work performance, in relationships, or in everyday living. People seek out individual therapy to examine various aspects of their lives and the difficulties they may be having in solving some of their problems. The client and therapist collaborate to identify and work towards mutually agreed upon therapy goals. Individual therapy goals vary and may include reducing depression or anxiety, improving self-esteem, enhancing relationship skills, and helping you manage and cope with emotions. Individual therapy can also help you to feel better and function at your best. It can help in achieving a greater understanding and perspective on life experiences (family upbringing, school peer experiences, relationship break-up, academic issues, death, separation, loss, and adjustment to life changes). Individual therapy provides a safe environment for you to share your deepest thoughts and feelings without judgment. Individual therapy sessions typically last 45-50 minutes and meet weekly at a regularly scheduled time. Many people are able to communicate and work through emotions and experiences that might be difficult to discuss in other settings. As the relationship between the client and therapist develops, therapy provides a framework for an individual to achieve one's goals and experience the life the client desires. < Back | |
