🧠 A Dedicated Space for Your Growth
Individual therapy, often called psychotherapy or counseling, is a confidential and collaborative process between you and a trained therapist. It is a dedicated space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment, gain deeper self-awareness, and work toward your personal goals. This one-on-one partnership is built on a foundation of trust, empathy, and a shared commitment to your well-being. (Lambert & Barley, 2001)
