Individual therapy, or one-on-one therapy, is a personal, private form of counseling where a client works directly with a licensed therapist. This type of therapy is designed to help individuals explore emotional challenges, build coping strategies, and achieve personal goals in a private and supportive environment.
At Pillars Health Group, our experienced therapists tailor each individual therapy session to meet the unique needs of every client. This lets clients navigate mental health challenges with focused care and compassion.

How We Use Individual Therapy in Treatment
At Pillars Health Group, individual therapy plays a vital role in both our Half-Day and Full-Day Outpatient Treatment Programs. These programs are structured to address a wide range of mental health concerns. And through the programs’ one-on-one sessions, each client receives personalized attention from a masters-level therapist.
Individual therapy allows clients to delve deeply into personal experiences, traumas, and mental health symptoms in a private, judgment-free space. Sessions are guided by a licensed therapist who helps identify root causes of distress, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and set achievable treatment goals.
We use individual therapy to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and grief. The personalized attention in individual therapy makes it easier for clients to work through complex emotions, track progress, and adapt interventions as needed.
So, whether a client is dealing with a mental health diagnosis, or navigating life transitions, individual therapy offers a deeply personalized path toward healing and emotional growth.
Is Individual Therapy Right for You?
Deciding whether individual therapy is right for you depends on your personal comfort level, the issues you’re facing, and your treatment goals. If you’re open to sharing your experiences with others, willing to listen, and curious about learning from others, then group therapy can be incredibly beneficial.
Group therapy offers a sense of belonging and support that can be hard to find in individual therapy. However, if you’re unsure, attending a session or speaking with one of our mental health counselors can help you determine if it aligns with your needs.
Group therapy might be a good fit for you if:
- You prefer a private and confidential setting to discuss personal struggles.
- You’re looking for customized, goal-oriented treatment tailored to your specific needs.
- You want to address deep-rooted trauma, or unresolved emotional pain.
- You’re managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other mental health conditions.
- You benefit from focused attention and consistent therapeutic support.
- You need a structured space for processing experiences and building self-awareness.
- You’re seeking guidance through life transitions such as grief, divorce, or job loss.
- You value building a strong, trusting relationship with your therapist over time.
