Individual Therapy Q & A
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on addressing your mental health and behavioral issues one-on-one with a professional therapist. Throughout your outpatient therapy sessions, the Next Step Treatment Center team focuses on building a relationship with you through psychotherapy (talk therapy). They employ cognitive-NextStep techniques to help you recognize the triggers of your addiction or mental or emotional health issues, so you can better manage them. Cognitive-NextStep techniques also help you manage your anxieties and anger by changing the way you think. These techniques help you become more self-aware and recognize the connectedness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Why is individual therapy important for addiction and mental health?
Individual therapy is a highly effective way to address your emotions, behaviors, and addictions in a safe, nonjudgmental space. You should consider the individual therapy services available at Next Step Treatment Center if you’re working towards recovery from an addiction to drugs or alcohol, especially after leaving an inpatient program.
