Individual therapy is made for individuals who would like to receive one-on-one support from a licensed mental health professional. The purpose of individual therapy is to address and manage mental health issues, improve coping skills, develop healthier strategies for dealing with challenges, gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and promote personal growth and well-being.
At Milestone Family Counseling, individual therapy sessions last fifty minutes. The client and the therapist will work together to establish goals and a treatment plan in the initial session. Sessions typically involve open discussion about the client’s experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Our clinicians use various therapy modalities to help clients understand and address their issues in a safe and confidential space without judgement and bias.
Individual therapy can help improve overall mental health and well-being. You will gain enhanced coping mechanisms, increased self-awareness and understanding, improved relationships, and reduced stress and anxiety.
Clinicians at Milestone Family Counseling offer free 15-minute phone consults to potential clients to assess appropriateness of fit for general needs/goals and the services our clinicians are able to offer.
The length of therapy varies for each person and depends on your specific goals. Some people feel better after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist at Milestone Family Counseling will work with you to determine what timeline makes sense for your situation. You're always in control of when to continue or end therapy.
Yes, your privacy is completely protected at Milestone Family Counseling. What you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist, with very few legal exceptions (like if you're in immediate danger or under the age of 18). We follow strict professional guidelines to keep your information safe and secure.
This is completely normal and okay! Many people feel unsure about where to start. Your Milestone Family Counseling therapist is trained to help guide conversations and will ask questions to help you open up. You can always start by saying you're not sure what to discuss—that's actually a great place to begin.
We believe mental health care should be accessible to everyone. Milestone Family Counseling accepts many insurance plans and offers competitive rates for those paying out of pocket. During your free consultation, we'll discuss costs and help you understand your options.
Your milestone is waiting. Let’s reach it together!
