Individual Mental Health Care
Guiding You to The Other
Side of Your Life’s Stresses
You might be experiencing: stress in your relationship or at work, depression or sadness, anxiety or excessive worry, lack of motivation, difficulty coping without alcohol or drugs, bipolar disorder, or identity and cultural concerns.
Individual therapy, also known as one-on-one therapy or counseling, is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. A licensed clinical social worker can provide effective therapy for various mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. This type of therapy allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
In individual therapy, the therapist collaborates with the client to uncover the underlying causes of their mental health issues. A mental health therapist plays a crucial role in addressing these issues, helping clients develop strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. This collaborative process can help individuals gain insight into their lives, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth.

The goal is to address unique mental health concerns, set personal goals, and overcome challenges.

By fostering personal growth and resilience, individual therapy helps clients navigate their mental health journey with greater confidence and clarity.
