Therapy FAQs

The price of individual therapy at our Denton, Wylie, and Plano, TX locations will depend on a few different factors, including whether or not you will be using insurance. At Health Services of North Texas, we want to make individual therapy easily accessible and more affordable for everyone, so we offer a sliding fee scale, which determines what the price will be based on income for those who do not have health insurance.

Not at all. Just like annual physicals are meant to maintain your physical health, individual therapy at Health Services of North Texas is a way to prioritize and invest in your mental and emotional health. It has become very common to seek out individual therapy, especially within the past few years as people have struggled with the fallout from COVID isolation. Studies have shown that depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have become more prevalent during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, but individual therapy can help.

The purpose of individual therapy is multifaceted and can vary depending on your needs and goals. Generally, individual therapy at Health Services of North Texas aims to promote mental and emotional well-being, improve coping strategies, and enhance your overall quality of life. The purpose, ultimately, is to provide professional guidance, support, and the tools needed to help you navigate through any difficulties you are currently facing or may experience later on.

The length of individual or family therapy varies based on the complexity of the issues and the client’s progress.
