How does therapy work?
There are 4 parts to individual therapy:
Assessment
The first few sessions are spent on assessing your therapy needs, based on your personal history, your strengths and difficulties, and issues that brought you to therapy. In some situations, psychological testing may be used.
Goal setting
Assessment findings are shared with you and we agree on achievable goals for the treatment.
Reaching the goals
We work on achieving the goals utilizing therapeutic methods that are best suitable to address your issues.
We periodically check progress towards achieving the goals.
Planning for the future
After your goals are achieved, we will plan for the future to help minimize a relapse of going back to the old ways.
