Individual therapy, also known as one-on-one therapy or psychotherapy, is a form of mental health support where a registered clinical psychologist provides personalized guidance to help clients navigate emotional, social, and behavioral challenges. The aim of individual therapy is to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while developing effective coping strategies to improve your overall well-being and quality of life.
During the clinical intake, the clinical psychologist will conduct a comprehensive interview, which includes gathering detailed information about the client's mental health history, current symptoms, and goals for therapy.
