At Orenda Behavioral Health, we pride our program on offering personalized treatment. Individual therapy sessions help us monitor progress and adjust treatment for individuals according to their specific needs.

Individual therapy, often referred to as one-on-one counseling or psychotherapy, involves regular, confidential sessions between a client and a trained therapist. At Orenda, these sessions are tailored specifically to your needs, providing a dedicated space to explore the underlying causes of your addiction, process past experiences, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Unlike group settings, individual therapy allows for an intense focus on your personal journey, enabling deeper introspection and personalized strategies for recovery.

It’s a collaborative process where your therapist acts as a guide, helping you uncover insights, challenge harmful patterns, and build resilience. This intimate environment is designed to foster trust and open communication, essential elements for profound healing and personal growth on the path to lasting sobriety.

Core Principles of Individual Therapy

The foundation of our individual therapy at Orenda is built upon several core principles that prioritize your well-being and progress.

  • Confidentiality: First, confidentiality is paramount, ensuring a safe space where you can share openly without fear of judgment.
  • Client-first approach: We embrace a client-centered approach, meaning your goals, experiences, and pace of healing dictate the therapeutic journey.
  • Evidence-based care: Our therapists utilize evidence-based practices, integrating scientifically proven techniques to address addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions effectively.
  • Collaboration: We also emphasize collaboration, working with you as an active partner in your recovery, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment.

Ultimately, the aim is to cultivate self-awareness, personal responsibility, and a deep understanding of the unique factors contributing to your substance use, guiding you towards sustainable change.

What Does Individual Therapy Treat?

Individual therapy at Orenda is highly effective in treating a wide spectrum of issues related to addiction and mental health. While its primary focus is on substance use disorders–including alcohol, marijuana, opioids, ketamine, meth, and cocaine dependence–it also addresses the complex interplay of co-occurring conditions. This includes anxiety, depression, trauma (such as PTSD), grief, stress management, and unresolved emotional issues that often contribute to substance misuse. Our therapists are skilled in helping you process the emotional pain, past experiences, and behavioral patterns that fuel addiction, empowering you to develop healthier coping strategies.

By exploring these interconnected challenges, individual therapy supports comprehensive healing, enabling you to build a more stable and fulfilling life free from the grip of addiction.

What to Expect in a 1-1 Therapy Session

When you step into a 1-1 therapy session at Orenda, you can expect a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. Each session typically lasts around 50-60 minutes and is a collaborative conversation between you and your therapist. In the initial sessions, your therapist will focus on understanding your history, current challenges, and recovery goals. As therapy progresses, you’ll explore topics such as triggers, emotional regulation, past experiences, and future aspirations.

Your therapist may introduce various therapeutic techniques, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) exercises, to help you develop practical skills. You’ll be encouraged to share openly, ask questions, and actively participate in setting the direction of your healing journey, always with the aim of fostering self-discovery and building a foundation for sustainable sobriety.
