Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is a one-on-one discussion between the counselor and the client, who is the person seeking treatment. The two form an alliance, relationship or bond that enables trust and personal growth.

Our Approach to Individual Counseling

At Safe Place Counseling, we believe that each person's journey is unique. Our individual counseling services are tailored to your specific needs, challenges, and goals. We provide a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained professional who is dedicated to helping you achieve positive change and personal growth.

The 5 Steps of Individual Counseling

1

Relationship Building

The initial phase focuses on establishing trust and rapport between you and your counselor. This foundation is essential for creating a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings.

2

Problem Assessment

Your counselor works with you to identify and explore the specific challenges, concerns, or issues that brought you to counseling. This in-depth exploration helps both of you gain a clearer understanding of your situation.

3

Goal Setting

Together, you and your counselor establish clear, achievable goals for your counseling journey. This commitment to action provides direction and purpose for your sessions.

4

Counseling Intervention

Your counselor implements appropriate therapeutic techniques and strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals. This is where the active work of change and growth takes place.

5

Evaluation & Termination

As you progress, your counselor will help you evaluate your growth and achievements. When you've reached your goals, you'll work together to plan for maintaining your progress after counseling ends.
