Sometimes life feels heavier than it should. Whether you're navigating something specific - stress, grief, a relationship, a diagnosis or you've just noticed that something feels off, individual therapy gives you a dedicated space to make sense of it.
At Grove, our clinicians take time to understand you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. Your first session is about getting to know each other: what's brought you here, what you're hoping for, and what a meaningful path forward might look like for you. From there, your treatment plan is built around your needs.
We work with a range of evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, IFS and Psychodynamic Therapy.
What is individual therapy?
Individual psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy used to treat a wide range of concerns (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, emotional difficulties, identity development, stigma and discrimination, addiction, relational distress, etc.). At its core, individual therapy aims to develop and strengthen insight, connection, compassion, resilience, and emotional self-awareness.
Sessions are typically 46-50 minutes in length. We recommend that sessions start on a weekly basis to ensure you get the most out of therapy and to help speed up progress.
In person or virtual
We currently offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. A virtual format is available for those unable to attend the clinic or who live far away.
How long do I need to attend therapy?
We offer both short-term and long-term individual therapy.
Around 12–16 weeks
Short-term
Short-term therapy (e.g., around 12-16 weeks) can help target stressful life transitions, challenging decision-making, emotion dysregulation, and acute mood symptoms (e.g., sudden onset of anxiety).
Ongoing
Long-term
Long-term therapy is most effective at addressing long-standing relational patterns and persistent or recurring symptoms.
Recommendations regarding the length of treatment will be collaboratively determined with your psychologist during the first few sessions and will be revisited throughout treatment.
How do I find the right fit?
Finding the right fit is an essential component to successful therapy.
I know who I’d like to see
We recommend reading over our team bios. If you have read our team bios and know who you would like to work with, please let our reception team know when you call to book in.
I’m not sure yet
If you are unsure or have questions, please ask for a complimentary intake phone call with the director of the clinic. The purpose of this call is to discuss your therapy needs, answer any questions or concerns, and talk through the different psychologists available.
Do I need to be in distress to go to therapy?
No!
We are big proponents of preventative therapy, particularly for our younger clients. Building emotion regulation tools and self-awareness early on can help foster resilience and grit. Being able to differentiate, identify, and express our feelings is a valuable and empowering skill set.
