Individual Therapy

Our Approach: Individual therapy forms the core of our therapeutic services at Uniquely You Behavioral Health.

Our Neurodivergent Affirming Approach:

Our individual therapy sessions are deeply rooted in a neurodivergent affirming approach. This perspective acknowledges the unique ways neurodivergent individuals perceive, interact with, and contribute to the world. Our therapists are trained to appreciate the nuances of neurodiversity, ensuring that therapy is focused on supporting, not “fixing,” you or your loved one. We emphasize meeting loved ones where they are, assisting in understanding how they engage with and relate to the world around them.

What to Expect in Individual Therapy:

  • Session #1 – Initial Assessment: A comprehensive evaluation to understand your needs, strengths, and therapy goals. This is typically a 60-minute session but can be extended over two or more sessions if needed.
  • Sessions 2 – 6+ – Continued Assessment, Rapport Building & Collaborative Goal Setting: The initial weeks are dedicated to building rapport, which research suggests is crucial to therapeutic outcomes. We prioritize this phase, allowing you and your therapist to establish a strong connection and collaboratively define what success looks like for you.
  • Customized Strategies: We explore coping mechanisms, communication skills, self-advocacy, and other personalized strategies that work specifically for you.
Ongoing Support: Regular sessions to reflect on progress, adjust goals as needed, and tackle new challenges
