Individual Therapy in Reno, NV
Counseling Services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is one-on-one counseling between a Mind and Body Counseling Associates expert therapist and a patient. Our therapists help individuals with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and much more. We sometimes suggest individual therapy as part of a complete treatment plan. This can work well with family therapy, couples therapy, or other mental health services we provide.
There are many different therapy styles, but they all center around helping you reach your goals. Therapist-client relationships are confidential, fostering honest communication without fear of judgment. Our therapists are here to support, advise, and teach healthy coping skills.
Individual therapy has been shown to improve mood and self-esteem, as well as treat mental, emotional, physical and behavioral issues. Research shows that 75% of people who start therapy see benefits. Some of the various concerns our expert therapists address include: depression, anxiety, food and eating issues, anger, addiction, abuse, and sexuality. Some of our patients participate in ongoing therapy simply for self-awareness and growth.
Individual therapy begins with an intake session covering mental history, therapy reasons, and treatment goals.
Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is very important at Mind and Body. You and your therapist will talk about the type of therapy to use. You will also discuss your goals and how often to meet them. This helps you get the most benefit from your therapy sessions.
