Individual therapy is the process of meeting with a therapist in a private, safe, and non-judgemental space. Some common topics and areas of exploration include:
Depression
Anxiety
Addictions
Interpersonal relationships
Mind, body, and behavioural health
Stress and how to manage stress
Life transitions and adjustments
Trauma
Personal growth and meaning making in life
Sessions are 50 minutes long and available in person or through online video call. A sliding scale fee is available for individual sessions in order to make therapy a sustainable process.
THE FIRST VISIT
The first session is an opportunity to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable to continue working together. It is also a chance to discuss in more detail what you hope to work on through therapy as well to go through any questions you have about the process.
By the end of the session, we will have determined whether working together will be a good fit for the both of us, after which if so, we will make arrangements for future sessions.
If working together is not a good fit, we will then discuss other resources or referrals that will better suit your needs.
