Individual Psychotherapy

Individual Psychotherapy is the most common modality of psychotherapeutic work, and typically involves the client meeting weekly with the therapist for a fifty-minute session. The therapy process involves a thorough client history and assessment process, collaboration in setting specific goals, and then developing and implementing a treatment plan to work toward the determined goals. The length of therapy can vary widely, depending on the client and the issues presented. Termination is indicated when goals have been satisfactorily achieved.
