I am a male therapist with 10 years of clinical experience. During my career, I have gained extensive training on how to be a multiculturally competent therapist. This has allowed me to work with people of different races, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds. I create an atmosphere of trust with my clients while building a therapeutic relationship. By demonstrating empathy, sympathy, and positive regard, I give my clients a space to be themselves while they work on becoming their better selves. Read more

What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach is to help clients build self-compassion. I find the best benefit for a client is in a collaborative approach to exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them from becoming their authentic selves.

My go-to approach for individual therapy is a blend of cognitive behavioral and person-centered therapies. Using this eclectic approach, I am better able to employ evidence-based treatments while keeping the client's autonomy and the therapeutic relationship a priority.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach: building self-compassion, improving self-esteem, assertiveness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and cognitive processing therapy.

In individual therapy, I teach clients about:

  • The connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
  • The difference between primary and secondary emotions
  • How to recognize and counteract problematic thoughts
  • How to recognize and deal with issues in their environment
  • How to accept what cannot be changed
  • Self-esteem, self-acceptance, and self-awareness
  • How to better navigate social situations
  • How to attain and use outside support, such as family, support groups, etc.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are able to reflect, process, and express their thoughts and feelings, with new insights that bring them inner peace and an a healthy sense of self.

In individual therapy, I become aware of a client's progress when they regularly use the tools they have learned and when their symptoms or issues become less apparent or more self-manageable. The goal is to get the client emotionally and mentally well enough to deal with life's issues outside of counseling.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement individual therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by completing homework assignments outside of the therapy session and becoming more gently aware of working to increase self-knowledge and healing.

Clients can supplement their counseling progress by completing homework between sessions, having help from supportive people/programs, and regularly taking any correctly prescribed medications.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can think about what your goals are for therapy. Think about what do you need that will help you feel better about yourself so I can help you be more authentically you.

To prepare for the first individual therapy session, I find it is best for clients to try being open-minded and simply be themselves. Honesty, transparency, and enthusiasm for change are excellent ingredients for a great first session.

Starting Individual therapy

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.

How does individual therapy work?

Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.

Can individual therapy help me?

Yes, individual therapy, also known as individual-counseling, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.

Is individual therapy conducted in person or online?

Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does individual therapy last?

The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.

How much does individual therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Pricing & insurance

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 585+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.

I initially had a fantastic experience with Thriveworks, and I was thrilled with the service they provided. My journey to find the right therapist was successful, and I happily recommended Thriveworks to friends and family. However, my positive experience took a turn when I discovered that the therapist I connected with does not accept my insurance. Embarking on the path to seek help required a lot of courage on my part, and I fully committed to the process. In just 4 or 5 sessions, I developed a strong connection with my therapist. Unfortunately, the realization that she could no longer continue due to insurance constraints has left me feeling disappointed. Now, I find myself having to start the therapeutic journey all over again, and this has diminished my overall satisfaction with the service.

Sherodle is a fantastic counselor. I’ve learned so much that I use to make my life better. She is easy to speak with, very personable. Not sure about your rating system. I put 5 assuming that is best.
