Individual Mental Health Therapy

Individual Mental Health Therapy / Mental Health Counseling

Seeking individual therapy allows people the opportunity to confidentially address their mental health, social, and emotional concerns with the guidance of a licensed mental health therapist. Individual therapy may be short-term or long-term depending on whether the client presents immediate stressors or more complex traumas or life occurrences. When meeting 1-on-1 with a therapist at Healthy Self Omaha, the treatment is tailored to the needs and strengths of each individual. It is not a “one size fits all” approach. Each client deserves to feel heard and understood on an individual level.

Why is individual mental health counseling important?

Sometimes we need to get to know ourselves a little better—our emotions, our patterns, our relationships, our histories, our purpose. Individual therapy can help someone gain greater understanding for their situation while simultaneously developing new, healthy patterns of coping. It can help clients learn to manage their emotions rather than feeling out of control. It can lead you to a life that is ultimately more fulfilling, both internally and within interpersonal relationships.

Your therapist acts as your guide as you learn to navigate emotions, but they do not do the work for you. It takes patience, commitment, and self-compassion from each client to develop new emotional responses and coping behaviors between sessions.

Individual therapy topics addressed: depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD symptoms, relationship stressors, severe and persistent mental illness (Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc.), adjustment to life changes, substance use issues, self-worth and self-esteem, career or financial concerns, codependency, etc.
