Individual therapy begins with the therapist and consumer getting to know each other. Through this initial meeting a pattern of thinking and behaving emerges that allows the clinician to understand the individual’s methods of responding to their world. Sometimes these patterns can be associated with a common diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Substance abuse issues are addressed with a philosophy of recovery oriented service delivery. An effective course of action, or Treatment Plan, can be constructed from an understanding of these patterns. Because each person is unique, the therapeutic process is individualized for each person and the issues for which they are seeking relief. The treatment plan is the road map of what will be addressed during therapy. For some, it may be increasing their knowledge of where their struggle began. For others, it may mean discovering a way to address a problem at home, in relationships or even at work.
