What is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy—sometimes called psychotherapy or counseling—is a one-on-one partnership between you and one of our therapists. It’s a confidential, supportive space to openly explore your challenges, emotions, and relationships. Together, we’ll identify the changes you want, process what’s weighing on you, and build practical ways to cope. Our experienced team is proud to offer online therapy that’s accessible, flexible, and tailored to you. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles, we’re here to support you through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions—delivering the same compassionate care you’d get in person, from the comfort of wherever feels right to you.
What to Expect in Therapy?
Starting therapy can stir up a mix of feelings—nervousness, uncertainty, or even relief at having someone to turn to. We’ll ease in by getting to know you, building trust, and learning about your goals and what’s been tough lately. As we go, we’ll guide you through exploring different corners of your life, always at a pace that feels right for you—especially with the heavy stuff. We’ll keep it real and supportive, working through any strong emotions together. Along the way, we’ll check in on how you’re doing, tweak goals as needed, and give you the freedom to join sessions from home or wherever you’re most at ease.
