Individual Therapy
Everything you need to know about individual therapy (plus its benefits)
At HHPG, we understand that every person’s story is unique — and so is the support they need. Our individual therapy services are designed for children, teens, and adults, helping each client work through challenges, strengthen coping skills, and build resilience in a compassionate, evidence-based environment.
What Is Individual Therapy?
Individual therapy provides a confidential and supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with the guidance of a trained professional.
Our clinicians draw from evidence-based approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy–Informed Interventions (DBT)
Parent Management Training (PMT)
Each approach is customized to your unique needs, goals, and situation.
Benefits of Individual Therapy
Individual therapy can help you gain insight, strengthen resilience, and enhance your overall wellbeing. Some key benefits include:
A personalized focus tailored to your goals and pace
Improved emotional regulation and social functioning
A safe space for reflection, growth, and healing
Proven effectiveness of evidence-based treatments such as CBT and DBT
Focused attention on your needs — without the stress of changing others’ behaviours or opinions
When to Seek Professional Help
While some challenges can be managed through family support or self-help strategies, professional therapy may be helpful when mental health concerns:
Persist despite your best efforts to cope
Interfere with daily life (work, school, relationships, or self-care)
Cause ongoing distress, irritability, or emotional exhaustion
Common Factors That Can Contribute to Mental Health Concerns
Many factors can affect mental health, such as:
Family or relationship challenges
Financial pressures
Anger or frustration
Eating or body image concerns
Past or ongoing abuse
Addiction or substance use
Sexuality or identity-related issues
Stress, anxiety, or depression
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for help can be the first step toward healing and lasting change.
Facts about mental health
Cases of depression are increasing day by day, and people of all age groups can be affected by it. In 2018, the total number of people struggling with mental wellness was only 5.3 million. However, the number has increased to more than 6.7 million now.
