Individual therapy
One adult, one clinician, a steady hour
For adults who want a place to talk through what is weighing on them: work, money, family, a loss or a big change. Sessions are 50 minutes, in English or in Spanish.
Who it helps
Adults, 18 and older, who want to talk with a clinician one on one.
What sessions are like
You talk, your clinician listens and asks questions, and together you decide what to work on.
How we work
Talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral approaches. Your clinician says which approach they use and where they trained.

Questions
What people ask about this service
What happens in the first session?
It lasts about an hour. Your clinician explains how they work, what stays private and where the limits are, and the possible risks and benefits of therapy. You talk about what you would like from the time, and you decide together whether to continue.
How often, and for how long?
Individual sessions are 50 minutes, and sessions for couples and families are 80. Many people come once a week to start. Your clinician sets the pace with you and does not promise a number of sessions.
What is confidential, and what are the limits?
What you share stays in the session. The law sets limits: if someone is at serious risk of harming themselves or another person, or if abuse of a child or an older adult is suspected, your clinician may have to tell others. We explain this in writing before you start.
