The Purpose of Individual Counseling
Individual counseling (also called “talk therapy,” “psychotherapy,” or “therapy”) is when you talk one-on-one with a trained, licensed mental health expert in a safe, secure, loving environment.
Clients use individual therapy to address issues that impact the entire family such as grief, anger, depression, anxiety, and conflict, plus many more.
Individual counseling is meant to help you understand yourself better – why you think, feel and do the things you do, and what started the pattern of behavior in the first. This is an opportunity to receive support on issues like depression, anxiety, parenting, substance abuse, relationship struggles, career changes, school difficulties, and similar issues.
Our licensed, expert team of therapists is able to pull you back into a loving, cohesive pattern of living.
Allen Counseling Center offers offering Adult Counseling in Allen, Texas; Plano, Texas; McKinney, Texas; Frisco, Texas and Surrounding Areas. Nights and weekends available.
What to Expect In Individual Counseling for Adults and Teens
Counseling can be scary. You’re already feeling alone, fearful, and lonely through something really huge, so opening up to a counselor you’ve never met before can be hard. We know you have probably thought about getting some help in the past, but sat on the decision because making the first phone call is difficult. And, not all therapists are the same, which is why we suggest starting with a FREE 30-minute consultation to see if you feel comfortable with one of our therapists.
At I Choose Change, you’ll work one-on-one with a counselor in a safe, caring, compassionate environment. Explore beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors while feeling unconditionally accepted. Our licensed therapists help you work through challenging situations, difficult feelings or negative perceptions while helping you better understand yourself and others.
