What Is Individual Therapy in Nashville?
Individual therapy is one type of psychotherapy, also called talk therapy. During sessions, you work through personal problems and issues that have directly impacted your mental health and well-being. Unlike group sessions, you work directly with a therapist to discuss your problems and issues privately in a safe and supportive setting.
Individual therapy helps you also build self-esteem and confidence so you become more willing to share your issues and problems in a group setting. In addition, individual therapy offers other benefits, such as:
- Helps you identify triggers to develop coping skills
- Helps you change unhealthy behaviors, thoughts, and emotions into positive ones
- Helps you process trauma, grief, and other personal issues in a supportive environment
- Helps improve communications
- Helps build healthy relationships
- Helps you uncover effective coping skills that work specifically for you
- Helps you gain a better understanding of your past and your “self”
Type of Individual Therapy We Offer
Everyone has different therapeutic needs to treat their mental health and co-occurring disorders. At Arbor Wellness, we work collaboratively with our clients to develop personalized treatment and care plans with the types of individual therapy that best suit their unique needs. Some of the individual therapy options available include:
CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy)
CBT is one of the top therapies used to treat mental health issues. It helps people become more aware of their negative thoughts, behaviors, and emotions while learning how to transform those into positive ones. It also helps people uncover triggers related to their mental health disorders.
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy is a “catch-all” term used for several different therapeutic approaches. The concept is that people learn behaviors, and therefore, they can unlearn negative behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. This type of therapy helps you realize you have control over how you respond to situations, people, places, and events, as well as how you choose to respond to triggers, stress, and anxiety.
MI (Motivational Interviewing)
MI is used to help people adjust to treatment when they are ambivalent toward it. It is also not uncommon for individuals to feel like treatment is going nowhere without any motivation. MI is used for both these situations to help people adjust to treatment while helping them uncover what motivates them.
Substance Use Counseling
When someone has a dual diagnosis substance use disorder, substance use counseling is a vital component of recovery. This type of counseling helps people uncover and understand the causes and nature of their addiction and their triggers. They also learn healthy and effective ways to address cravings and manage triggers without relapsing.
Our Programs that Offer Individual Therapy in Nashville
Arbor Wellness offers individual therapy in Nashville with all our mental health and dual diagnosis treatment programs. Individual therapy is just one aspect of an overall comprehensive treatment plan to help our clients achieve improved mental well-being.
- Residential: Our residential program is for individuals who pose a risk to others or could harm themselves. It is also recommended for individuals with severe mental health symptoms and those who do not have a supportive environment at home. Clients receive 24/7 monitoring and support in a highly structured and intensive treatment program.
- PHP: Our PHP (partial hospitalization program) is a step-down level of care from our residential program. It is also well-suited for individuals who do not require 24/7 monitoring. It provides the same highly structured and intensive treatments while allowing participants to return home or to a supportive, sober living facility.
- IOP: Our IOP (intensive outpatient program) is a step-down level of care from our PHP. It offers more flexibility and freedom to work, attend school, and manage other personal commitments. It is also recommended for people who need mental health and dual diagnosis treatment but are unable to attend a residential or PHP program. Sessions are about three to four hours daily.
What to Expect During an Individual Therapy Session in Nashville
During an individual therapy session in Nashville at Arbor Wellness, you can expect a secure, safe, caring, and supportive environment where you can privately share your personal issues, struggles, and concerns with one of our licensed therapists. Our therapists work with you to determine the most appropriate evidence-based and holistic techniques to use to help you achieve your treatment objectives and long-term goals.
Initially, you and your therapist will get to know one another to build rapport and trust. Trust is an essential part of therapy to ensure you are willing to open up and share your innermost thoughts. Additionally, your therapists will inquire about any pressing issues, prior therapy experience, and anything else you would like to cover in future sessions.
Once your therapist has learned more about you and your needs, they will work with you to create a customized treatment plan to address all of your issues and concerns. Your treatment plan will also have short- and long-term goals to help measure your treatment progress. Your therapist will even give you “homework” to do in between sessions.
How Many Times a Week Do I See My Therapist?
Generally, you will see your therapist once per week. However, if you feel like you need more individual therapy sessions, it is easy to add more weekly sessions. Your sessions may become bi-monthly or even monthly as you progress through treatment, depending on how much support you need.
