Frequently Asked Questions

Thrive Men’s Counseling offers individual therapy services for adult men. All therapy sessions are provided virtually, using a HIPPA-compliant telehealth platform.

Based on your individual needs and preferences, treatment can include one or more of the following therapy techniques:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps many men manage problematic emotions and behaviors by working with the thought patterns that trigger them.
• Psychodynamic Therapy can help clients who want to explore their thoughts and feelings on a deep level.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapies are powerful tools for treating underlying trauma that may be contributing to unpleasant emotions or undesired behaviors.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques can help men develop life-improving skills and habits.

Many men avoid mental health therapy because they fear being misunderstood or judged by their therapist. Some have even had that experience in the past. Thrive Counseling addresses this concern by providing you with a male therapist who has the training, professional experience and life experience needed to understand your challenges and help you overcome them. Your Thrive therapist will listen to you without judgment, offer new perspectives when helpful, and help you build on your strengths while developing new life-enhancing skills.

Each therapy session is about 55 minutes long. The number of sessions required to complete therapy varies, depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed, the therapy techniques being used, and life events that occur during treatment. After your first few sessions, your therapist should be able to give you an estimate of how long your treatment will take. That estimate may change as your therapy progresses, based on progress made and changes you make to your treatment goals along the way.

To join a virtual therapy session, you will need an up-to-date personal computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
