Individual therapy
Individual therapy is your one-on-one time with a licensed Primary Therapist matched to you. They stay with you for your whole program, so you're never starting over or re-explaining your story. Each session builds on the last.
At Charlie Health, individual therapy is one part of your week — alongside three group sessions, plus family therapy or a psych check-in when they fit your plan. Same schedule, same therapist, every week.

Sometimes called talk therapy or one-on-one counseling, individual therapy is private time with your therapist to discuss your history, personal struggles, and what you’re working toward. It’s yours and yours alone. In our IOP, your Primary Therapist is part of a larger care team, so what happens during individual therapy connects to your group and family sessions too.
We start with the right match. The rest builds from there.
Based on your intake assessment — including your history, goals, and preferences — you’re paired with a Primary Therapist suited to your specific needs.
A private, virtual session each week — just you and your therapist, wherever you are.
What you work on here carries into your group and family sessions, and what happens there comes back to your individual sessions too.
Where to start
One of the most common worries before a first session is "What am I even supposed to talk about?" The honest answer: anything on your mind. There’s no wrong thing to bring to your Primary Therapist.
Your therapist tailors their approach to you, drawing on proven, evidence-based methods. The goal is to use the right tools for what you’re actually facing.
Individual therapy is the private, one-on-one piece of treatment. Group sessions are the shared, connective piece. Together, they make up one coordinated plan, built around you.
