What You Could Expect from Individual Therapy

Individual therapy can help you reach goals or overcome problems.  GTS can help you understand and resolve issues in a confidential, caring, and efficient manner.  We will help you feel safe and supported while challenging you to grow and move past obstacles.

Individual psychotherapy sessions involve regularly scheduled talks between the client and a mental health professional.  Sessions generally start off from 1-3 times a week, depending on the assessed needs of the client. The sessions may focus on current or past problems, experiences, thoughts, feelings, or relationships. By sharing experiences with a trained empathic person, you get to talk about your world with someone outside it.  Objective, non-judgmental, compassionate, trust, and safety are the key tenets of any therapist-client relationship.

How Individual Psychotherapy Works

People come to individual psychotherapy and individual counseling to talk about different aspects of their lives and the difficulties they may be having in solving some of their problems. Many people experience counseling as a safe place to share their deepest thoughts and feelings without judgment. Individual psychotherapy offers a powerful setting for the disclosure of secrets, emotions, and experiences that may be difficult to discuss. As the relationship between the client and the trained therapist develops, psychotherapy can provide a framework in which one can create the life they desire. The weaving of past stories, events, feelings, and traumas, with current emotions, patterns, stressors, and events, enables us to integrate the past with the present. There is genuinely something very healing that occurs when someone can feel understood in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance.
