How It Works
Confidential Environment
Sessions are private and guided by professional ethics, so you can speak openly.
Personalized Approach
Your therapist tailors techniques and goals to your unique needs and pace.
Collaborative Process
You and your therapist work together to understand challenges, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes.
Evidence-Based Methods
Depending on your needs, therapy might draw on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Psychodynamic Therapy.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy—sometimes called counseling or psychotherapy—is a one-on-one, confidential meeting between you and a licensed mental health professional. It provides a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences without fear of judgment.
