What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy, a form of psychotherapy, is a one-on-one conversation between you and a licensed therapist. These therapy sessions focus entirely on you. You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trying to deal with relationship issues, or struggling to cope with ongoing life challenges. This is a space where you can begin to unpack those experiences and feel supported through them.
A 2020 report published by the National Center for Health Statistics found that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults received some form of mental health treatment—but only about 9.5% received counseling or therapy. This gap shows how many people miss out on the full benefits therapy can offer.
Your therapist won’t rush you or judge you. Instead, they’ll meet you where you are and help you build coping skills that support your emotional wellness and well-being.
What Can Therapy Help With?
Therapy can support you through a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Perinatal mental health struggles
- Relationship issues
- Difficulty adjusting to change
- Eating disorders
- Self-discovery and personal growth
Even if you can’t name what you’re going through, you know things aren’t quite right. That’s a valid place to start. Individual counseling can help you make sense of it and start feeling whole again.
What the Research Says
Research shows that therapy sessions can be very beneficial in helping you move through your challenges and proceed forward in life.
A study published in Neurotherapeutics shows that evidence-based therapy can help with:
- Reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions
- Improving emotional regulation so you’re not overwhelmed by your feelings
- Boosting your ability to cope with life stressors like divorce, illness, or job loss
- Supporting people with medical conditions by improving treatment adherence and emotional well-being
- Enhancing relationships through better communication and understanding
- Lowering the risk of relapse in chronic mental health issues
- Saving money by reducing the need for other costly health services
- Giving you a sense of agency as you’re actively shaping your recovery
And the best part? You don’t have to fit into a box. Individual therapy adapts to your unique needs and life situation.
What to Expect in Individual Therapy: Your Therapy Process, Your Pace
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health care. Your therapy goals will likely be different from someone else’s, and that’s exactly why our therapists take the time to get to know you as a person. Through evidence-based care, we work together to understand your unique needs and create a treatment plan that fits your life.
Tailored Treatment for Specific Concerns
We recognize that everyone comes in with specific concerns, and different approaches work for different people. Some adults may benefit most from talk therapy and individual counseling, while others benefit from group therapy or medication management. For clients with more complex behavioral health or emotional needs, we can also coordinate with psychiatrists to ensure continuity of care.
Support for Life’s Challenges
Our goal is to provide therapy that feels highly effective for your journey—one that addresses your mental health needs and supports your mental health care over time. You might be dealing with perinatal mental health changes, family transitions, or major life challenges. Whatever you’re carrying, we’re here to help make things feel a bit easier.
Flexible Options That Fit Your Life
We’re committed to providing support in a way that respects your pace and your life. That’s why we also offer online therapy options and flexible counseling services that make it easier to stay consistent with your care.
Caring for the Whole Person
Through every session and every step forward, we’re here to help you reclaim your emotional wellness in a way that feels right for you and your unique challenges living in Massachusetts.
Some people benefit most from talk therapy. Others might benefit from adding group therapy or medication management to their care. No matter the approach, your therapist will help guide the therapy process in a way that feels right for you.
Why Individual Therapy at Revitalize Wellness Center Makes a Difference
Finding the right therapist is more than just matching with someone who has the right credentials. You deserve a strong alliance; a connection based on trust and understanding. That relationship is what allows real progress to happen.
2024 Research by the National Institutes of Health explains that talk therapy works best when there’s a strong, trusting relationship between you and your therapist. This connection helps you feel safe enough to open up about your thoughts and feelings. When that trust is there, therapy becomes more helpful, and healing feels possible.
The study also shows that a good therapeutic relationship makes it more likely that you’ll stick with therapy and see lasting improvements in your mental health.
At Revitalize Wellness Center, we provide therapy in a non-judgmental space where you can speak freely. You won’t have to hold back or pretend to be okay when you’re not. Our mental health professionals listen deeply and help you understand what you’re carrying.
And we accept most health insurance plans, making mental health services accessible and affordable.
Taking Care of Your Mental Health Alongside Substance Abuse
If you’re facing both mental health concerns and substance use struggles, it’s okay to ask for help. You may be using substances to cope with emotional pain or past trauma. That doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human. And healing starts by treating both parts of that experience, not just one.
At Revitalize Wellness Center in Norwell, our approach to substance use is integrated into our broader mental health support. We understand how closely connected these challenges can be, which is why we offer:
Day Treatment Program
This structured daytime care includes group sessions, individual therapy, and psychiatric support. It’s often considered a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and helps you manage symptoms while transitioning back into your everyday life.
Standard Outpatient Program
This flexible option supports your healing through scheduled therapy sessions without disrupting your daily responsibilities. Outpatient mental health treatment is ideal for those stepping down from more intensive care or needing consistent support.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
If you’re dealing with both a mental health condition and substance use disorder, our integrated care plans treat both together. In dual diagnosis, we look at the full picture of your life and work with you to build long-term strategies for recovery.
You deserve care that sees all of you—the pain, the potential, and everything in between.
Prioritizing Your Emotional Wellness
Most people who start therapy don’t have everything figured out, and that’s okay. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have a diagnosis to begin healing.
Our mental health services in Norwell are designed to meet your individual, unique needs with compassion and care. We provide therapy that respects your lived experience and gives you space to grow at your own pace.
