Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a process that involves assessing, monitoring, and resolving one’s psychological problems through the development of a therapeutic relationship with a trained professional in a confidential and safe environment. An individual typically presents with symptoms and/or problems that are negatively impacting his or her ability to function adaptively. Together, difficulties will be discussed and goals will be identified. The therapist will determine diagnosis, conceptualize a treatment approach, and work collaboratively with the client to help the individual reach his or her goals. The specific process of therapy is accomplished through a variety of methods determined by both the therapist and the client (e.g., psycho-education, behavioral experiments, cognitive restructuring, homework assignments, etc.). At ABS, we choose therapies that have demonstrated effectiveness and tend to use cognitive-behavioral means. However, we also recognize that no one solution will meet every need, and we integrate various philosophical perspectives to find solutions customized to your unique circumstance.
