We believe that mental health shouldn’t come with a high price tag. That’s why our treatment team is prepared to work with you and your budget to ensure the highest quality of care. We also work with most major insurance plans.
From children to adults, everyone deserves professional mental health care that’s reliable, accessible and affordable. At Taylor Counseling Group, our individualized care is designed to meet you where you’re at. When you work with one of our highly trained providers, they’ll create a treatment plan unique to you and your goals.
What to Expect at Your First Individual Therapy Session
Individual counseling is an amazing opportunity to receive personalized support as you navigate life’s challenges and times of growth. Your therapy sessions with one of our compassionate, skilled counselors can address a number of concerns and topics, such as depression, anger, anxiety, relationships, substance abuse, school or career and more.
If you’ve never participated in therapy before, you may be wondering what it’s like. How will you know if your counselor is the right fit?
Most initial therapy sessions are broken down into two parts.
1. Introductions
Your first individual therapy session is an opportunity for you to get to know one another. Just like any interpersonal relationship, therapy works best when there is personal connection and trust.
Introductions are a great opportunity to establish a rapport and create a foundation for communicating with your therapist. The most important thing you’ll learn from this introduction is whether you feel like your counselor is a good fit.
2. Establishing Needs
One of the most essential parts of this first therapy session is understanding why you’re seeking counseling. Be prepared for lots of questions, as the answers will help your therapist determine your individual needs and what you’d like to see addressed as you work together.
Your therapist will also want to know how you’ve managed your mental health in the past. Asking questions helps a clinician understand what works for you, what doesn’t work and how they can best help you meet your personal goals.

Why You Should Seek Individual Counseling
How We Determine Therapy Goals, Frequency and Duration
The goal of your therapy sessions will be to talk through mental health concerns so you can grow, heal and move toward becoming a healthier, more productive you. Your individual counseling will be completely client-driven — you’ll work with your therapist to establish specific goals you wish to attain.
Most therapy sessions last about an hour. However, the frequency and duration of your meetings depend on your individual needs, established goals and the progress you make with your counselor. Some concerns can be resolved quickly after just a few therapy sessions. Complex or chronic issues may require a long-term commitment as you work through obstacles with your therapist by your side.
Even after you achieve your goals, continued therapy can assist your overall mental health.
