Understanding Individual Therapy
A Whole-Person Perspective
Individual therapy — also known as psychotherapy or counseling — is a
collaborative process between a client and a trained mental health professional. It
provides a safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and
to develop healthier coping strategies.
At Integrative Psychiatric Services (IPS), we see therapy as more than just a conversation. It’s a personalized, evidence-based journey toward understanding yourself, managing challenges, and building resilience. Whether you are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, individual therapy can help you create lasting change.
