At Aliya Mental Health, we understand that healing from a mental health issue or substance abuse isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches designed to meet your unique needs. One of the most effective forms of support we offer is individual counseling—personalized, one-on-one sessions with trained professionals who are dedicated to helping you heal and grow.
Whether you’re managing a diagnosed condition, navigating complex emotions, or seeking help for co-occurring behavioral health concerns, talk therapy provides a safe, confidential space for reflection, discovery, and change.
What Is Individual Counseling?
Also known as individual psychotherapy, this type of therapy involves private sessions between you and one of our mental health professionals. The focus is entirely on your personal challenges, goals, and progress. Through open, guided conversations, you’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a way that leads to personal growth and improved daily life functioning.
Our team of trained therapists comes from diverse backgrounds—including psychology, clinical counseling, social work, and psychiatry—and are fully qualified to provide expert care. All therapists are licensed and receive ongoing training to stay current on the latest research-based practices in mental health and behavioral health treatment.
Types of Individual Psychotherapy We Offer
Aliya Mental Health integrates a variety of types of individual psychotherapy to ensure that each person receives care tailored to their needs. Some of the most effective and widely used methods include:
Depending on your unique situation, your therapist may blend multiple therapeutic approaches to create the most effective plan for your recovery.
More Than One-on-One Care
While individual counseling is essential, it is often part of a broader treatment plan. At Aliya, we complement one-on-one work with services like:
- Family therapy, which strengthens communication and healing within family systems.
- Group sessions, where you can connect with peers going through similar challenges.
- Medication management, provided by licensed prescribers to support symptoms when appropriate.
- Holistic therapies, including art, nature, massage, and nutrition support to engage the mind and body.
Our trained professionals ensure that every component of your care is integrated and aligned with your overall recovery goals.
More Than One-on-One Care
Private counseling plays a powerful role in addressing a wide range of mental health conditions and health issues. Some of the benefits include:
- Developing healthy coping strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more
- Learning to recognize and respond to warning signs before they escalate
- Exploring the root causes of substance abuse and building a strong foundation for sobriety
- Gaining tools for emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and resilience
- Improving self-esteem, relationships, and quality of daily life
Most importantly, our therapists create a space where you can feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.
For People with Co-Occurring Conditions
Many individuals seeking help don’t fit neatly into a single diagnostic box—and that’s okay. It’s incredibly common to experience overlapping mental health and substance abuse, known as co-occurring disorders. These may include combinations such as:
- Substance abuse alongside depression or anxiety
- PTSD with chronic pain
- Bipolar disorder and alcohol use disorder (AUD)
Aliya’s dual diagnosis treatment model ensures that all aspects of your wellness are addressed in a cohesive and compassionate way.
What to Expect at Aliya Mental Health
When you arrive at our Washington-based treatment center, you’ll begin with a thorough assessment to help us understand your background, challenges, and goals. From there, we’ll create a fully personalized care plan that may include:
- A unique combination of types of therapy, including individual counseling, family therapy, and holistic support
- A flexible treatment timeline that fits your recovery journey
- Ongoing support from mental health professionals who listen, guide, and encourage every step of the way
No two people are the same, which is why no two treatment plans at Aliya are either.
