At A Helping Hand Counseling Center , we offer individual therapy that helps you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe, confidential space. Our licensed therapistswith adults and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions, providing support tailored to your unique goals.
Individual therapy is a one-on-one therapeutic process where you work with a trained mental health professional to address personal concerns, set goals, and develop strategies for coping with life's challenges. Through conversation, reflection, and targeted interventions, therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore:
Individual therapy can help with:
• Anxiety and stress
• Depression and mood changes
• Grief and loss
• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) & EMDR
• Trauma and PTSD
• Life transitions (divorce, career change)
• Self-esteem and confidence issues
• Coping with chronic illness or caregiving
Our therapists use a personalized approach that respects your pace and preferences.
Our individual therapy sessions use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness strategies. We focus on empowering you to manage stress, process difficult experiences, and build emotional resilience. Sessions are adapted to your comfort level, whether you're new to therapy or returning to it.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
Your therapy sessions will take place in a private, confidential setting where you can feel heard and supported. Our therapists create an open and compassionate environment, where you can express yourself freely without fear of judgment. Everything you share in therapy remains confidential, with exceptions only in cases of imminent harm to yourself or others.
Collaborative Goal-Setting
During your first session, you and your therapist will discuss your goals for therapy. This collaborative process helps ensure that the therapy experience is tailored to your specific needs and desires. Whether you're looking to manage anxiety, process trauma, or improve relationships, your therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan designed to help you achieve your goals.
A Variety of Therapeutic Techniques
Our therapists use evidence-based techniques from a range of therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). The approach used will depend on your unique needs and preferences, and your therapist will adjust the methods throughout therapy to best support your progress.
Emotional Exploration and Reflection
Throughout your therapy, you'll have the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings deeply. Your therapist will guide you through this process, helping you better understand your emotional reactions, thought patterns, and behaviors. This process can lead to greater self-awareness and insights into the underlying causes of your challenges.
A Structured Yet Flexible Approach
Individual therapy is typically scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis, with sessions lasting 45-50 minutes. The number of sessions you will need depends on the nature of your concerns and the goals you set with your therapist. Some clients may find relief in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy.
Active Participation
Therapy is most effective when you are actively engaged in the process. This includes being open to exploring difficult emotions, reflecting on your experiences, and applying what you learn in therapy to your everyday life. Your therapist will encourage you to be honest and open about your feelings and concerns.
Commitment to the Process
Healing and personal growth take time. Your therapist will support you through challenges, but it's important to be patient with yourself and trust the therapeutic process. Consistency in attending sessions and following through on any coping strategies or exercises discussed in therapy will help you make steady progress.
Collaboration and Communication
Effective therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. If something doesn’t feel right, or if you’d like to adjust the focus of therapy, don’t hesitate to bring it up. Open communication helps ensure that therapy is working for you.
Confidentiality Respect
While your therapist will respect your privacy, they may ask you to share important details about your personal life, mental health history, and specific issues you wish to work on. This collaboration allows the therapist to best support you in achieving your therapeutic goals.
Patience and Self-Kindness
Progress in therapy can vary, and it's normal to face setbacks or difficult emotions along the way. Be patient with yourself and recognize that the path to healing often involves ups and downs. Therapy is about making gradual improvements, not achieving perfection.
