INDIVIDUAL THERAPY in San Diego Frequently Asked Questions:

Please reach me at sparrmft@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question regarding individual therapy.

What is individual therapy, and how can it help me?

Individual therapy is a collaborative process between you and a licensed therapist. It provides a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy can help you address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and personal growth. It empowers you to develop coping skills, gain self-awareness, and create positive change in your life.

How do I know if individual therapy is right for me?

If you're experiencing emotional distress, struggling with life challenges, seeking personal growth, or feeling overwhelmed, individual therapy can be beneficial. Many individuals find therapy helpful, even if they don't have a specific diagnosis. An initial consultation can help determine if therapy is a good fit for you.

What can I expect during my first therapy session?

The first session typically involves discussing your concerns, goals, and expectations for therapy. We'll also review confidentiality and answer any questions you may have. It's a chance to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. I want to create a comfortable and safe environment for you.

How often will I need to attend therapy sessions?

The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Typically, sessions are held weekly or bi-weekly. We will discuss and determine a schedule that works best for you.

How long does individual therapy typically last?

The duration of therapy varies depending on your specific needs and goals. Some individuals benefit from short-term therapy (a few months), while others may engage in longer-term therapy. We will regularly assess your progress and adjust the duration as needed.

Is everything I discuss in therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. I am legally and ethically bound to protect your privacy. What you discuss in therapy is confidential, with a few exceptions, such as if you pose a danger to yourself or others, or if there is a legal requirement to disclose information.

What therapeutic approaches do you use?

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs. This may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and other approaches. We'll work together to find the methods that resonate with you.

How much does individual therapy cost, and do you accept insurance?

My fees vary depending on the length of the session. I can provide you with a fee schedule during our initial consultation. I do accept Cigna and Aetna, but for all other insurance I am considered an out-of-network provider. I can supply you with a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It is best to contact your insurance company directly to inquire about your out-of-network benefits.

What if I'm nervous about starting therapy?

It's completely normal to feel nervous or apprehensive about starting therapy. Taking the first step can be daunting, but it's a courageous decision. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable and at ease.
