Therapy
How does therapy work best and what is it like?
Psychotherapy, or more commonly referred to as just “therapy,” is best experienced in-person, face-to-face with a licensed therapist. More than “life coaching” or an over-simplified quick fix online app or video, real therapy is the work done in an office guided by your therapist and out of the office on your own in a healthy living practice that heals life’s hardest issues.
“Modalities” or “Modes” of counseling are the established, clinical way of outlining the types of services a professional mental health clinic provides. There are many types of techniques, but basically they involve talking to a therapist privately, or as a couple with the therapist’s skilled oversight.
LifeStar is unique in that not only do we provide the stand set of counseling services, we have spent years developing programs that augment traditional therapy modalities.
Individual Therapy
The majority of our clients receive individual therapy. Individual therapy allows for treatment in many mental health areas. The traditional therapeutic session is 50 minutes. Our therapists are trained to also provide 2 and 3 hour sessions. A lot of progress happens in those additional minutes in therapy.
Individuals can also sign up for the Pathway Workshop.
