Individual Therapy – David Hoy and Associates

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy services are one on one sessions specifically tailored to meet your unique needs. You get to decide what you want to work on. Your individual therapist offers a safe and confidential environment for you to explore issues surrounding mental health, relationships, life transitions, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, or any issues that are creating difficulties in your life. An individual therapist may use a variety of strategies to assist you in working through and resolving problems. Some of these may include but are not limited to:

motivational interviewing
cognitive behavioral approaches
dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
hypnosis
biofeedback, and
expressive therapies.
