What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy is collaborative talk therapy between you and a licensed clinician. Sessions focus on your concerns — emotional, behavioral, relational, or situational — with treatment shaped around your needs rather than a fixed formula. Therapy may include insight-building, skill development, processing difficult experiences, and working toward goals you define together with your therapist.
