Individual therapy is a type of psychotherapy where a person works one-on-one with a trained therapist to address emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges. The therapy provides a safe, confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in depth.  Reach out to get started today.
