What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy (also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy) is a collaborative process between you and a licensed therapist. It provides a private, compassionate space to discuss what’s troubling you—without fear of judgment.
Here, you can explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, and learn practical tools to improve your mental and emotional wellbeing.

At PS It’s Counseling, we believe that therapy isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about helping you understand yourself, grow stronger emotionally, and reconnect with your values and goals.

Our Therapeutic Approach

Each therapist brings their own style, but all share one goal: helping you heal and grow through evidence-based care.
We integrate several proven modalities depending on your needs, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns.
  
  
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds emotional regulation and mindfulness skills.
  
  
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages acceptance and purposeful action aligned with your values.
  
  
• Relational Therapy: Focuses on connection and interpersonal growth.
  
  
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Encourages presence, calm, and emotional awareness.

What to Expect During Sessions

The process of therapy unfolds naturally, but here’s what it typically looks like:

1. Initial Consultation:
   You’ll meet with your therapist to discuss your concerns, background, and goals.
   
   
2. Personalized Plan:
   Together, you’ll identify focus areas and choose the most effective therapeutic methods.
   
   
3. Ongoing Support:
   Sessions (usually weekly or biweekly) help you explore patterns, practice new coping skills, and track progress.
   
   
4. Growth and Reflection:
   As therapy continues, you’ll begin noticing changes—better clarity, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships.

Our therapists provide compassionate accountability—supporting you while encouraging progress at your pace.
