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.

From the first time I walked into Northstar I was greeted by many smiling faces. Those faces turned into confidants that have made my sobriety successful. Each and every staff members priority is the well being of their clients. The past 6 weeks, I have learned so much about my allergy (alcohol) and coping skills on how to remain sober for today and tomorrow. I highly recommend Northstar Recovery.

Northstar has truly been a godsend. The staff is super friendly and takes time to learn everyone's name. They say good morning and make you feel welcomed. The groups are fantastic. They also offer yoga and sound healing groups. They explore different styles of recovery so that everyone can find what works for them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for help. There is a path to recovery and they will help you find yours.
