Single-Session Therapy: Support When You Need It Most
A One-Time Therapy Session for Immediate Support, Clarity, and Relief
Sometimes One Conversation Can Make a Difference
Not every issue needs weeks or months of therapy. Sometimes, what you need most is a focused conversation with a trusted professional, someone to help you sort through a decision, process a tough moment, or break through the fog of overwhelm.
Single-Session Therapy (SST) is a one-time, 90-minute, solution-focused session designed to help you move forward with clarity. Single-Session Therapy works well for concerns that are specific, time-sensitive, or benefit from a focused, strength-based approach. It’s ideal if you’re seeking clarity or emotional support without an ongoing commitment. We take a Solution-Focused Therapy approach, meaning we’ll help you explore what’s already working, build on your strengths, and focus on practical, forward-moving strategies you can apply right away.
We’ll also draw from other evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy as needed. This integrative approach allows us to tailor the session to your unique needs.
This is therapy that meets you exactly where you are. No long-term commitment required.
This One-Time Session May Be Right If You’re:
Facing a tough decision and feeling stuck
Struggling to manage a recent stressor or emotional trigger
Wanting tools to handle anxiety, conflict, or burnout
Looking for insight on a recurring issue or relationship dynamic
Setting boundaries or building assertive communication
Reconnecting with your resilience and resources
Curious about therapy and want to try it before committing long-term
Seeking closure or clarity around a specific event or experience
What to Expect in a Single-Session
In this 90-minute session, you and your therapist will work collaboratively to:
✔ Clarify your most immediate concern
✔ Identify underlying needs, patterns, or emotions
✔ Explore helpful resources or coping strategies
✔ Leave with 1–2 personalized tools you can use right away
We focus on what matters most to you and use evidence-based approaches like CBT, narrative therapy, emotion-focused techniques, and solution-focused strategies to meet your goals for the session.
A Safe, Grounded Space, Even Just Once

Less overwhelmed
More emotionally regulated
Clearer about what’s next
Validated, seen, and supported
We’ll hold space for your story with warmth, respect, and professionalism, whether it’s your only session or the first of many.
