Individual therapy is a cornerstone of our whole-person treatment approach, providing personalized one-on-one support to complement group therapy and other therapeutic methods.

Individual therapy at Pasadena Villa

At Pasadena Villa, every client is paired with an individual therapist who conducts a comprehensive assessment to better understand the client’s unique perspective and needs. This information is used to create a personalized treatment plan, developed with input from the client and their treatment team.

While the client-therapist relationship within our program is typically short-term, our team focuses on addressing immediate concerns and prioritizing treatment goals. Our therapists work closely with each client’s outpatient providers (when applicable) to ensure seamless care coordination, share progress updates, and outline the next steps for continued success.

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy is a one-on-one counseling approach where clients work closely with a trained therapist to address personal challenges, emotions, and behaviors. This focused setting provides a safe space for exploring underlying issues, developing coping skills, and creating personalized strategies for lasting recovery.

At Pasadena Villa, each client is assigned an individual therapist who works with them to complete a formal assessment. This helps our clinicians understand the client’s perspective and create a truly personalized treatment plan.

How does individual therapy work?

During individual therapy, clients collaborate with their therapist to identify specific goals and address personal struggles during individual therapy. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs, and therapists use evidence-based techniques — such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) — to help clients identify thinking patterns, process emotions, and develop healthier behaviors. This therapeutic relationship fosters trust, allowing clients to work through challenges at their own pace and build a foundation for long-term growth and healing.
