Individual Therapy

The Power of Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, or one-on-one psychotherapy, is a type of mental health treatment that helps with a range of mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, social anxiety, relationship issues, confidence, and more.

Individual therapy is not only for people with a mental health diagnosis. It is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to enhance their overall well-being or if you are just looking for some extra support.

Benefits

By attending a one-on-one session with a psychotherapist, you have the opportunity to talk to a trauma counselor in a safe and confidential environment. Liz and her team of trusted therapists at Evolve Therapy & Counseling follow the 4-phase Sovereign Body Method, which utilizes a mind-body approach to nervous system regulation and trauma healing.

In Brickell, Downtown Miami, or West Palm Beach, a therapist can help you regulate your nervous system, use your emotions as valuable information, and reframe your negative thoughts, freeing you from the negative emotions of the past.

The benefits of individual therapy in Brickell, Downtown Miami, and WPB include:

• Feel calm and grounded in any stressful situation
• Have more control over your emotions, even in chaotic situations
• Feel confident speaking up and setting boundaries
• Improve communication and relationships
• Let go of negative memories and beliefs
• Feel safe and powerful inside your body

In-person or online therapy can be beneficial, whether you have a diagnosis or just want a safe space to discuss your thoughts and feelings. Individual therapy is not about fixing anything, because you are not broken. Therapy is a way to show ourselves love and support. We are honored to be part of support your team.  

Effectiveness

According to a study published in Pubmed, “Significant reductions in both depression and anxiety scores were found” after individual therapy. This study also reported that “attitudes toward therapy became more favorable from pre to post-treatment for all participants.”

Another study found that “Success rates have been estimated to be around 50% to 70% for resolving conflicts and improving relationship satisfaction.”

Our Therapeutic Approach

Who Provides Individual Therapy?

A therapist or counselor with a master’s degree in social work, mental health therapy, or marriage and family therapy and registered or licensed with the board, provides individual therapy.

After graduating, therapists work under supervision for 2-3 years before they become licensed. Some therapists choose to specialize in a specific area, such as different types of trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, marriage counseling, or other areas.

All therapists at Evolve Therapy & Counseling are trained in The Sovereign Body Method developed by Liz Chelak, LCSW, CCTSI, CRPS. This method helps you refine your nervous system for calm and grounded confidence.

How Does Individual Therapy Work?

In your first session, your Brickell, Downtown Miami, or West Palm Beach therapist will ask you some questions about yourself, your history, symptoms, and goals. Together, you will develop a treatment plan with your individualized goals and objectives.

In the following sessions, you and your therapist will work at your pace. Your therapist will provide you with information about the therapy process to make sure you feel comfortable with each step before you begin.

Using the Sovereign Body Method ensures you and your therapist have a clear and tested roadmap for your treatment. Although your treatment follows a structure, each client has their own individualized goals and treatment plan.
