Individual Therapy

What it is

How Individual Therapy works here.

Individual therapy is the room many people picture when they think of therapy: one client, one clinician, fifty minutes, a regular cadence. It is the foundation of much of what we offer, and for many clients it is the long arc through which the rest of the work moves.

Our clinicians work integratively. That means we draw on whichever evidence-based approach actually fits what you are working on — not whichever one we happened to be trained in.

Individual therapy might fit if…

You want a quiet hour where the only job is thinking with you about your life.
You’re working on something that doesn’t map cleanly to one modality.
You prefer one consistent relationship over time.
You’re considering medication; we work alongside your prescriber.

What a session looks like

The practical shape of the work.

The first session is partly an intake and partly a meet-and-fit conversation. Sessions are 50–55 minutes, typically weekly, in person or via telehealth. We adjust frequency and duration to your life and goals.

Approaches we draw on most often:

CBT for thought-pattern work.
ACT when meaning, values, and avoidance are the live questions.
IFS (Internal Family Systems) for work with parts and protective patterns.
EFT for emotion-focused individual and relational work.
EMDR for trauma when it’s on the table.

Intake conversation

A short call to understand what brought you here and identify the right clinician fit.

First session

Fifty minutes — partly intake, partly meet-and-fit. You can say “I don’t know how to start” and that is fine.

Ongoing care

Cadence and approach adjust as the work evolves. You’re always in the loop on what we’re trying.

We work integratively. That means we draw on whichever evidence-based approach actually fits the work — not whichever one we happened to be trained in.

What it can help with

Common reasons people choose this.

The full range of depression-related conditions we treat.
Anxiety, including generalized anxiety, panic, and social anxiety.
Trauma — recent and historical, single-event and chronic.
Life transitions: career, identity, relationships, parenting, loss.
Self-understanding work that isn’t about a specific symptom.

Wondering whether this is the right fit?

The intake conversation is exactly for that. No commitment to schedule.

Talk to someone

You don’t have to figure this out alone

Reach out — even if you’re still not sure.

Most people sit with the question for a long time before making the call. Whatever you’re carrying, we’ve almost certainly sat with someone holding something similar. The first step is just a conversation.
