Sometimes referred to psychotherapy or simply as counseling, individual therapy is designed for the client to have one-on-one sessions with a trained therapist. Sessions are held in a caring, safe and confidential setting so the client can explore his or her feelings, behaviors and beliefs while working through memories or challenges that he or she can clearly identify aspects in his or her life that they want to see changed.
During individual therapy, clients learn how to gain a better understanding of himself or herself as well as others, set clear and attainable goals then work toward the desired changes to better himself or herself. Therapy is sought after for a variety of reasons. It can benefit those who need help coping with a major life challenge, dealing with traumatic experiences, dealing with anxiety and depression, to simply working toward personal growth and attaining a greater self-knowledge.
The length of treatment can vary from a handful of sessions to years of treatment. The client’s personal therapy goals and individual needs play a major role in the length of the treatment.
