Life can be complicated. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, individual therapy provides a dedicated space to better understand what you’re experiencing and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

We recognize that every individual arrives with a unique history, set of strengths, and goals. Our therapists work alongside clients to identify what is getting in the way of wellbeing and develop a plan that supports meaningful, lasting change.

What One-on-One Therapy Looks Like at Green Hill
Individual therapy provides dedicated time to focus on your specific experiences, challenges, and goals in a confidential setting with a licensed therapist.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists tailor treatment to each person’s unique circumstances. Sessions may focus on understanding patterns of thinking and behavior, developing healthier coping skills, improving relationships, managing symptoms, processing difficult experiences, or strengthening recovery.
Our goal is not simply to provide insight. We help individuals apply what they learn in therapy to the realities of everyday life.
Think of it like having a personal trainer at the gym, but for your mind.
What We Help With
Our therapists work with individuals facing a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges.
Because we are part of a larger system of care that includes Advaita Integrated Medicine (AIM), all our individual therapy patients can also work with a psychiatrist or medication provider alongside their individual therapist.
While not everyone needs medication support, therapy plus medication can often improve outcomes.
Addiction and Substance Use Disorders
Therapy can help individuals understand the factors contributing to substance use, strengthen recovery skills, develop relapse prevention strategies, and build a healthier foundation for long-term recovery.
Most people that are struggling with alcohol addiction and drug addiction are also struggling with mental health issues. This is frequently referred to as having a dual diagnosis condition.
All of our therapists understand the complex relationship between addiction and mental health and are wonderful at helping patients successfully navigate those struggles.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can affect work, relationships, sleep, and overall quality of life. Therapy helps individuals identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety.
Anxiety has a way of convincing us to live in the future.
The mind becomes focused on possibilities, worst-case scenarios, and problems that have not yet occurred. While planning for the future is important, constantly living there can make it difficult to engage with the life happening right in front of us.
Therapy helps individuals develop skills to manage anxiety and reconnect with the present moment.

Depression
Depression often impacts motivation, energy, self-esteem, and daily functioning. Therapy can help individuals better understand their symptoms and develop strategies for improving mood and engagement in life.
Depression has a way of narrowing life. Activities, relationships, and goals that once felt important can begin to feel distant or out of reach. It often becomes harder to find motivation, maintain routines, or stay connected to the things that give life meaning.
Therapy helps individuals better understand these challenges and develop practical steps toward re-engaging with life, even when motivation is low.

PTSD and Trauma
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect emotional wellbeing long after the event itself has passed. Our therapists provide trauma-informed care that helps individuals process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
Trauma has a way of following people into the present. It can shape how we respond to stress, navigate relationships, and make sense of the world around us.
Many individuals find themselves reacting to current situations through the lens of past experiences.
Therapy helps people better understand these patterns, develop a greater sense of safety and stability, and build the skills needed to move forward.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Therapy can help individuals better understand obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors while developing strategies to reduce their impact on daily life.
OCD can create a cycle that feels difficult to escape. Unwanted thoughts, fears, or doubts can become overwhelming, leading people to engage in behaviors or mental rituals in an attempt to find relief.
While those behaviors may provide temporary comfort, they often reinforce the cycle over time.
Therapy helps individuals better understand these patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD can affect organization, focus, time management, and emotional regulation. Therapy helps individuals build practical skills to manage symptoms more effectively.
ADHD is often about more than simply having trouble paying attention. Many people struggle with procrastination, follow-through, organization, emotional regulation, and managing competing responsibilities. This can lead to frustration, self-criticism, and the feeling of constantly falling behind.
Therapy helps individuals develop practical systems and strategies that support success at work, home, school, and in relationships.

Bipolar Disorder
While medications are the gold standard of bipolar treatment, therapy can play an important role in helping individuals manage mood fluctuations, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and maintain stability over time.
Living with bipolar disorder can sometimes feel unpredictable. Changes in mood, energy, motivation, and thinking can affect relationships, work, and daily responsibilities.
Therapy helps individuals better understand their patterns, recognize early warning signs, develop coping strategies, maintain medication adherence, and build routines that support greater stability and long-term wellbeing.

Our Approach and Therapeutic Modalities
Mental health is complicated. What works for one person in therapy may not work for the other.
We make sure we have therapists trained in different therapies so that it makes it easier to match you with someone that has expertise in your unique issues.
All of our therapies are evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are tailored to everyone’s needs and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps individuals identify and modify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and problematic behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT focuses on building skills related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is a therapy that is often used for those that struggle with impulsivity, self-harm, and severe up and down moods.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact that difficult life experiences can have on mental health, relationships, and recovery. This approach emphasizes safety, trust, collaboration, and empowerment.

Individual Therapy and Group Therapy: How They Work Together
Individual therapy and group therapy often complement one another.
Individual therapy provides dedicated time to focus on personal experiences, goals, and challenges. Group therapy creates opportunities to learn from others, build accountability, practice communication skills, and receive support from people facing similar struggles.
Many individuals find that insights gained in individual therapy become easier to apply through participation in group therapy, while experiences from group sessions often create valuable topics for further exploration during individual sessions.
How Individual Therapy Fits Into Treatment
Individual therapy can be beneficial at many different stages of treatment and recovery.
When needed, individual therapy should work in partnership with other things like structured outpatient programs and psychiatry.
Standalone Outpatient Therapy
Many individuals participate in weekly or biweekly therapy sessions as their primary form of outpatient treatment and support.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Individual therapy is often combined with group therapy, psychiatry, and recovery support services within our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
For individuals requiring a higher level of support, individual therapy is integrated into our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) that may include group therapy, psychiatry, family services, and recovery management.
By coordinating care across different levels of treatment when appropriate, we help individuals receive support that matches their needs and goals.
