Individual therapy, also called psychotherapy or one-on-one talk therapy, is a structured clinical conversation between an adult and a licensed mental health clinician. The National Institute of Mental Health defines psychotherapy as working with a mental health professional to identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, with the goals of symptom relief, improved daily functioning, and better quality of life.
Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes and follow a clinical framework chosen by the clinician based on the adult’s primary diagnosis, treatment history, and current symptoms. The American Psychological Association recommends evidence-based psychotherapy that integrates the best available research with clinical expertise, tailored to the adult’s specific needs and goals.

Every adult in residential treatment receives individual therapy. Sessions are scheduled multiple times per week with the same primary clinician, providing continuity through the residential stay. The clinical relationship between the adult and their primary therapist is a central component of residential mental health treatment.
What we do not provide: standalone outpatient individual therapy, virtual sessions, or pay-per-session counseling. Adults seeking outpatient one-on-one psychotherapy can search Psychology Today’s clinician directory or contact their insurance plan for in-network providers. Adults whose clinical picture requires residential level of care can contact admissions at (888) 669-0661.
Length of stay is set by clinical recommendation. Most adults benefit from several weeks of residential treatment followed by step-down to outpatient care that continues this work at lower intensity.
The first individual therapy session is a clinical assessment conducted by the adult’s primary therapist within the first day or two of admission. The assessment establishes the working diagnosis, identifies any co-occurring mental health or substance use conditions, reviews treatment history, and outlines the treatment plan for the residential stay.
Subsequent sessions follow the chosen modality. A CBT-led course focuses on identifying and restructuring distorted thought patterns associated with depression or anxiety. A DBT-led course focuses on building distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills. A trauma-focused course can include EMDR or trauma-narrative work delivered by an EMDRIA-trained clinician. The clinician and adult review progress regularly and adjust the treatment plan as the clinical picture evolves.
Individual therapy sessions are confidential within the limits established by California law and the residential setting. Clinical information is shared with the treatment team for coordination of care and with insurance for continued-stay reviews when required for coverage.
