Individual Counseling
Individual counseling (sometimes called psychotherapy, talk therapy, or treatment) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained mental health clinician in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. Counseling allows individuals to explore their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
Individual counseling is counseling focused on the individual’s immediate or near future concerns. Individual counseling may encompass career counseling and planning, grief after a loved one dies or dealing with problems at a job before they become big. Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor and the client, who is the person seeking treatment. The two form an alliance, relationship or bond that enables trust and personal growth.
The counselor works one-on-one with the client in a safe and confidential environment. Both the client and counselor relate under professional guidelines. The counselor guides their client through various challenges and decisions relating to family, career, parenting, and school difficulties.
Clients who are going through mental problems such as depression, stress and anxiety can benefit greatly from individual counseling.
