Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy, matched to you.

Weekly sessions with a licensed clinician who is chosen for you, not assigned to you. In person in Waltham or by secure video.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons: a hard season, anxiety or depression that has stopped lifting on its own, a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall, old experiences that still take up room, or simply a wish to understand yourself better and grow. None of those needs to be a crisis to be worth working on.

Individual therapy at Hope Ave is a standing hour that belongs to you. Your clinician gets to know how you think, what you are carrying, and what you want to be different, and works with you at your pace. Some people come for a focused stretch of six or eight sessions. Others stay for a year or more. The length is set by your goals, not by a formula.

What makes us different is the match. Before you are scheduled, Será talks with you about what you are looking for and pairs you with the clinician whose experience and style fit. If it is not the right fit after a few sessions, say so, and we will help you change.
