What is your go-to approach for individual therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is an integrated approach, meaning I adapt to the client on what works best for them based on their unique needs. However, I do enjoy and find benefit in the internal family systems approach, because many people say things like, “a part of me wants/loves/feels ____, and another part of me doesn't like that.” Sometimes, it really makes sense and fits well with people to better understand themselves.

What tools do you teach in individual therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

  • Teaching the brain's limbic system: This is great for those with anxiety, OCD, and trauma by learning why your brain does the things that it does.
  • Power of mindfulness: I love teaching mindfulness through visualization exercises in sessions for clients to practice on their own, even if it's just for a few minutes at a time.

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 their body language and presentation change. The body can demonstrate a lot more than we are able to verbalize, such as sitting up taller and speaking more confidently and comfortably.

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

Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by doing what they love and believe is important to them! It can be anything, such as journaling, creating music/art, spending time with family/loved ones, or sports/exercising.

What should someone do to prepare for starting individual therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can take a minute to jot down things that you want to get out of counseling and figure out an answer to the question: How do you know if therapy works for you?

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 accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

Since day one Marie has been so nice and understanding of all my issues with anger. She has helped me so much to take a step back and analyze issues and approach them in a very calm manner and retrain my brain to deal with anxiety issues that lead to anger. She has helped a ton in putting forth effort to better my marriage and other relationships with family. I couldn’t thank her enough for all her help in the last couple of months and in the future! Love her!! Definitely recommend her!

I was fortunate enough to work with David Fletcher-Janzen. Dave is such a good listener and so kind and compassionate. I have known Dave for many years and have the utmost respect and admiration, not just for his professional expertise, but also for the kind, empathetic and caring human being that is Dave. Dave works hard to help his clients and is passionate about his professional calling. He is highly skilled and has many years experience in his field. I wouldn't consider going to anyone else.
