Typically, individual treatment involves seeing the therapist once weekly for a 50 minute session, although other meeting schedules are not uncommon.

Individual treatment begins with a 60 minute initial consultation, in which the therapist gathers a wide variety of background information and learns about the current situation or circumstances that have brought you to therapy at this time in your life. This meeting provides a chance for you to get to know the therapist and make sure you "click" with this person.

In the first session, a treatment plan going forward is discussed, and a general meeting schedule is agreed upon. Although once weekly meetings are standard, other options are also common. For clients with limited time or monetary resources, bi-weekly meetings may be more practical. Individuals going through a particularly intense life transition or stressful experience may choose to come in several times weekly at first.  

Individual psychotherapy provides a safe space in which you can explore virtually any aspect of your life, including career, relationships, stress management, self-confidence, motivation and countless other issues. Indiviudal therapy is a space where you are encouraged to discover and express what you really think and feel, however bold, socially unacceptable or unconventional, without censuring yourself out of politeness or social expectations.
