Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is one type of psychotherapy in which a trained professional helps a single person work through the personal issues they are facing. It is an effective treatment for a variety of emotional difficulties. Also known as talk therapy, it can help improve or control symptoms that influence an individual’s well-being. In individual therapy, you are the sole focus of the therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.
If you’ve been feeling hopeless or lost lately, or struggling with a problem in your life that feels unsurmountable, individual therapy could help you improve your everyday life. Therapy sessions give individuals the opportunity to confidentially talk through problems or situations with a trained professional. It does not necessarily make problems disappear, but it equips individuals with the tools needed to cope with them more appropriately.
Individual therapy helps you win against whatever you’re battling by putting a real expert in your corner using a professional therapist. Individual therapy is useful for many types of situations that cause stress, anger, grief, or conflict. In a comfortable, private setting, an individual and a therapist will explore many different important issues.
Individual therapy may be short-term (focusing on immediate issues) or long-term (delving into more complex problems). The number of sessions and the frequency of appointments depends on the individual’s situation and the recommendations of the therapist.

Individual therapy is helpful for so many people because it’s the best way to get truly customized therapy. Group therapy may have its own set of numerous advantages but if you want more control over the pacing of your therapy, the methods used, the amount of analysis or feedback you can receive, and the timing of your sessions, you owe it to yourself to look into individual therapy.
