Psychological Services at Fairmount Behavioral Health System

In addition to group psychotherapy, Fairmount offers individual therapy to support your efforts towards stabilization and improved mental health during especially challenging times. Individual therapy can help you make decisions aimed at achieving your treatment goals. It can help you learn to appreciate and use your strengths so that your values match your choices. Individual therapists at Fairmount will offer you options and tools you could use to take the next step in your recovery.

Individual therapy can help you address specific kinds of psychiatric symptoms, feelings or concerns that can either serve as a follow up to discussion that occurred in group therapy or provide a private setting to discuss more sensitive issues. Individual therapy can help you address and more effectively cope with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, symptoms of a previous trauma as well as providing motivation for change and tools to improve communication and interpersonal relationship skills.

Sometimes your treatment team will recommend and offer to you the choice of individual therapy, or you may request to meet with one of our therapists. One of our strengths is the diversity of therapists we can offer. Our Creative Arts therapists use a variety of modalities - art, music, movement, and recreation - to help you learn about yourself and start to make desired changes. Our Cognitive Behavioral therapists, Professional Counselors, and Psychologists-in-training offer a variety of perspectives and opportunities for collaboration while you're here. Should you believe individual therapy would be a benefit to the work you do while at Fairmount, your therapist would become a part of your treatment team during your stay.

Fairmount therapists know that a therapeutic relationship based on safety and on what is known to aid recovery fosters hope, healing, and growth. Therapy at Fairmount is a collaborative process. Each therapist understands that change can happen best when they and you work together on the needs most relevant to you, when you can experience being understood, and when you've made the choice to begin this important work.
