Start with what matters to you
Sometimes there is one clear concern. Other times, it is a sense of being stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Individual therapy offers space to describe your experience and decide what you would like to work toward.
Common areas of focus include anxious thoughts, low mood, obsessive-compulsive concerns, trauma, relationship challenges, and difficult transitions. Ask about the approach that would fit your particular concerns.
A collaborative direction
The work begins with your experiences and goals. Sessions may explore connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions; ways of responding to difficult emotions; or patterns in how you relate to yourself and others.
There is room to ask why a particular approach is being used and to discuss what feels helpful. The plan can be revisited as your needs become clearer.
What you can ask before starting
- How would we decide what to focus on?
- What does a typical session involve?
- How will we discuss progress?
- How does telehealth work, and is it appropriate for my needs?
