What is individual therapy?

​

Individual therapy is a collaborative process where you work one-on-one with a trained counselor to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. It's a safe space to navigate life's complexities, set goals, and develop practical skills for a happier, healthier you.

​

When selecting your individual therapist, it's crucial to understand the therapeutic approaches they use, ensuring a perfect match for your unique needs. At S.T.E.P.S. Counseling & Consulting, our counselors are well-versed in various therapeutic theories and techniques. We go beyond the basics, providing a diverse range of established models to tailor your therapy experience.

 

Here at S.T.E.P.S, our aim is to offer therapy and counseling services that empower you to achieve your goals. Whether it's addressing a specific concern or navigating multiple issues over several sessions, we're dedicated to creating a personalized and effective therapeutic journey for you.

​

Now that you know the basics about psychotherapy and different types, let's talk about some common questions people have when they're thinking about trying it for themselves. To figure out if psychotherapy might be right for you, just take a moment to think about these questions:

​

• Do I often feel misunderstood by my peers, friends, or family members?

• Is it challenging for me to connect and relate to others on a deeper level?

• Do I find it hard to express my thoughts and emotions to those around me?

• Am I struggling with maintaining meaningful relationships in my life?

• Do I frequently experience a sense of isolation or loneliness?

• Have recent life events left me feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope?

• Am I finding it tough to navigate transitions or changes in my life?

• Do I often experience intense emotions that are difficult to manage?

• Have past traumas or experiences left a lasting impact on my well-being?

• Do I question my sense of identity or struggle with self-discovery?

​

If you said yes to any of those questions, you might find individual psychotherapy. Having someone who listens without judgment, understands your thoughts and feelings, and gives advice or ideas to make things better can really make a difference.

​

It's okay to feel nervous or have questions about therapy – telling a stranger your personal stuff can be scary. Just know that therapy is like taking a journey, and you can go at your own speed. A good therapist will talk through all your questions and worries with you, both before and during the process, making sure you feel comfortable and supported all along the way.
