What is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy is a one-on-one counseling session with a licensed professional where your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are explored in a safe, judgment-free environment. Each session is a proactive partnership focused on problem-solving, skill-building, and personal growth.

Whether you are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or life transitions, our individual therapy sessions in San Diego provide practical strategies and guidance to help you take immediate action and improve your life.
