Our Core Service

Individual Therapy in Corpus Christi

Individual therapy is the foundation of our counseling services. During one-on-one sessions with your therapist, you will have the dedicated time and space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a confidential, nonjudgmental setting. Sessions typically last 50 to 60 minutes and are scheduled weekly or biweekly based on your needs.

Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to set treatment goals, track progress, and adjust the approach as you grow. Individual therapy is often combined with medication management by our psychiatrists for patients who benefit from an integrated treatment approach.

Evidence-Based Modalities

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our Corpus Christi therapists are trained in multiple evidence-based modalities, allowing them to tailor their approach to your unique needs. Your therapist may integrate elements from more than one modality to create the most effective treatment plan for your situation.

CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other conditions. One of the most extensively researched psychotherapy approaches.

DBT Dialectical Behavior Therapy Teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal relationships, and building distress tolerance. Particularly effective for BPD, chronic depression, and emotional dysregulation.

EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing A trauma-focused therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing the emotional intensity of past experiences. Used for PTSD, anxiety, phobias, and grief. Learn more about EMDR.
