Single session therapy

Single session therapy offers a convenient and effective way to address specific challenges without the commitment of long-term counseling. Whether you're navigating a major life change like a breakup, job loss, or relocation, or dealing with a personal issue that needs a fresh perspective, a single therapy session can provide the support you need. With 15 years of experience offering brief support, I specialize in helping clients find relief, develop a plan of action, and gain clarity on their concerns in just one session. There's no problem too big or too small to explore, and most clients can be seen as soon as this week. Click below to request your appointment today and start feeling better.

Common challenges we can address

  • Feeling overwhelmed by a major life change (e.g., breakup, job loss, relocation) and unsure how to move forward.

  • Struggling with a difficult decision and needing clarity or a fresh perspective.

  • Experiencing unresolved emotional issues that have been lingering and affecting daily life.

  • Needing support to process a stressful event or challenge (e.g., family conflict, health issue, or personal setback).

  • Unsure whether therapy is right for you and wanting to try a "trial run" before committing to long-term therapy.

  • Looking for a non-judgmental space to talk about something that feels too small for traditional therapy

How Single Session Therapy Can Help

  • Provides a focused, one-time session to help you process emotions and develop coping strategies during a time of change.

  • Offers guidance and tools to help you make clear decisions and feel confident in your next steps.

  • Addresses unresolved emotions, helping you gain relief and clarity in a short amount of time.

  • Supports your personal growth by working on communication, self-awareness, and relationship skills in a manageable, one-time format.

  • Helps you navigate a specific stressful event by providing coping strategies and emotional support.

  • Offers a helpful "check-in" after longer-term therapy to reinforce progress or resolve lingering concerns.

  • Allows you to experience therapy without a long-term commitment, giving you a chance to assess it when it feels right for you.

  • Gives you a confidential space to talk about any issue, big or small, with a trained professional.

What If My Problem Is Too Big for a Single Session?

A single session can offer a valuable opportunity to gain immediate clarity, reduce emotional distress, and create a plan of action. If your issue feels too big to tackle all at once, we can focus on the most pressing aspect of it, providing you with relief and guidance in the moment. For many, a single session is a powerful first step—whether it’s processing a recent change, making an important decision, or simply gaining a fresh perspective. If additional support is needed, we can discuss options for next steps together.
