Goals of Individual Therapy for Mental Health and Addiction
The goal in individual therapy is to learn how to manage your emotions and behaviors.
Learn to Cope
When you can learn about different coping skills, it helps you better understand what may work for you, your mental health disorders and/or your recovery.
Coping skills can differ for everyone, so working with a therapist to try various coping skills helps you find the ones that work for you, much quicker. Healthy coping mechanisms can be learned to prevent relapse during your recovery as well.
Manage Your Emotions
If your emotions feel unmanageable and they cause you to act out, you might benefit from learning how to navigate your emotions.
In general, emotions are overwhelming, especially with how often they change and the intensity with which we feel them. Understanding how to navigate big emotions can help you when situations arise that you are not able to process immediately.
Unpack Trauma
Throughout life, you may experience traumatic events, and in individual therapy, you can unpack a lot of those experiences.
This can not only help you process your emotions for the event, but it can also assist with unpacking any unhealthy coping mechanisms that may no longer serve you.
Process Childhood
Every single person’s upbringing is different, which is why it’s important to properly process it.
Understanding what may have worked, or what seemed to weigh on you from your childhood can help you decipher the person you have become. Additionally, it’s a great time to reflect on how you want to rebuild or reframe your mindset around your family unit.
Become Self Aware
When you attend individual therapy, you gain a lot of self-awareness. This will help you pinpoint mood changes, certain behaviors, and triggers.
Self-awareness is beneficial to track any triggers that might make you relapse, so you can use your coping mechanisms to prevent it.
Get Confidentiality
When you’re in therapy sessions, they’re completely confidential; anything you share with the therapist is kept between you two.
The only way confidentiality doesn’t apply is if you’re going to harm yourself or others. Otherwise, nothing you say to the therapist will be shared with anyone else, which is a huge plus in individual therapy, as not everyone wants to share every detail of their past or what they want to unpack in front of others.
Individual Therapy as Part of a Comprehensive Treatment Program
Attending individual therapy is recommended for ongoing mental health conditions, substance abuse recovery maintenance, or big life changes.
Individual therapy is the tradition form of mental health and addiction support. However, should your condition need elevated and more frequent support, coupling individual therapy with other types of therapy offered in mental health and addiction treatment programs can give you the best result.
For mental health and addiction conditions that do not require elevated treatment through an inpatient or outpatient program, our sister brand, Neuro Wellness Spa, provides individual therapy sessions through online and in-person talk therapy available throughout California.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does addiction therapy work?
Addiction therapy is a treatment method that allows you to work with a therapist to identify the root causes of your substance abuse, pinpoint potential triggers, work through current struggles, and learn effective coping skills.
Having access to individual therapy while in addiction treatment can make a big difference and contribute to your overall success in recovery. The confidential space to share what’s on your mind and the relationship you build with your therapist are highly beneficial to your recovery process.
-
What do you do in individual therapy?
Individual therapy is extremely effective due to its versatility and ability to dynamically change to meet your unique needs. To start, your therapist will spend some time getting to know you, your current struggles, and your goals to come up with the best therapeutic treatment plan using proven modalities of therapy, including but not limited to CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR.
Your therapist will work with you to set some achievable goals while you go through treatment, and each session will be tailored to check in, discuss progress or struggles, and adapt or continue your treatment plan accordingly.

I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.
Marci B. -
Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.
Liz R. -
From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
