How Individual Therapy Works
Individual therapy allows you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a private, judgment-free space. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace of progress. Our licensed clinicians use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic methods, and mindfulness to support your growth and well-being.
