Frequently asked questions
These FAQs provide a general overview of individual therapy, but keep in mind that each person’s therapy experience may be unique. It’s important to communicate openly with your therapist and ask any questions you may have throughout the therapy process.
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a collaborative process between a therapist and a client. It aims to help the client explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Individual therapy sessions typically involve talking with a therapist either in person, over the phone, or online. The therapist listens and provides feedback to help the client gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Therapy may involve exploring past experiences, developing coping skills, setting goals, and making positive changes.
You can find a therapist by:
-
- Asking for referrals from your primary care physician, friends, or family members
- Searching online therapist directories
- Exploring therapy platforms that match you with licensed therapists based on your preferences and needs
The duration of individual therapy can vary depending on the client’s needs and goals. Some people may benefit from short-term therapy focused on specific issues, while others may engage in long-term therapy for ongoing support and personal growth. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or bi-weekly.
The first session, also known as an intake or initial assessment, is an opportunity for the therapist to gather information about you, your reasons for seeking therapy, your history, and your goals. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, discuss your expectations, and determine if the therapist is a good fit for you.
The cost of individual therapy can vary depending on factors such as location, therapist’s credentials, and whether you’re using insurance. Some therapists offer sliding-scale fees based on income or self-pay. It’s important to inquire about fees and insurance coverage before starting therapy.
