Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy is different from medical or dental treatments where patients typically sit passively while professionals work on them and inform the patient of their diagnosis and treatment plans. Psychotherapy isn’t about your psychotherapist telling you what to do. It’s an active collaboration between you and your therapist.

​

In fact, hundreds of studies have found that a very important part of what makes psychotherapy work is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client, also known as a therapeutic alliance. The therapeutic alliance is what happens when the provider and client work together to achieve the client’s goals.
