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.
