Individual psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy for adolescents are meetings with a psychotherapist aimed at providing support to a young person and helping him or her understand his or her own emotions and behavior. Adolescence is a time when a teenager can experience many dynamic changes in biological, mental, social functioning. The developmental task at this stage of life is to define one’s own identity, so there are times when a young person needs outside support.

At SELFCARE Psychotherapy Offices we provide:

  • psychological consultations for children from the age of 7,

  • psychological consultation and support for adolescents,

  • individual psychotherapy in the psychodynamic current for children from the age of 7 and adolescents.

An important therapeutic factor in child and adolescent psychotherapy is cooperation with parents. Children and adolescents are invited to the first consultation with their parents or legal guardians. For child and adolescent psychotherapy, the consent of both parents is required. A teenager who is 16 years of age or older must agree to participate in consultation and/or psychotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does individual psychotherapy last?
Duration depends on the problem and therapeutic approach. Short-term therapy lasts 10–20 sessions (2–5 months); long-term therapy can last 1–3 years. The therapist will present an estimated plan at the first consultation.
How often do sessions take place?
Standard sessions are weekly at the same time. Regularity is key to effectiveness. In justified cases (e.g. crisis) more frequent sessions are possible.
What therapeutic approaches do you offer?
Our therapists work in cognitive-behavioural (CBT), psychodynamic and integrative approaches. The method is matched individually during the initial consultation.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. We are bound by professional confidentiality. Session information is not shared with third parties without your written consent — except in situations of life threat required by law.
Can I stop therapy at any time?
Yes. Therapy is voluntary and you can end it at any time. We recommend discussing the decision with your therapist — such a meeting allows closing the process beneficially.
