Individual Therapy · For ages 5 and up
Dedicated, one-on-one time focused entirely on you.
Individual therapy is dedicated, one-on-one time with a clinician focused entirely on you: your goals, your history, and what you want to change. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel stuck, it gives you a confidential, supportive space to understand what is happening and build a path forward.
Who it's for
Who individual therapy helps
People come to individual therapy for many reasons. Often it is some mix of the following.
- Facing a specific challenge you want help working through
- Feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward
- Wanting a confidential space that is entirely your own
- Working toward personal goals at your own pace
- Children ages 5 and up who need one-on-one support
- Teens and adults at any stage of life

Your therapist meets you where you are and works at your pace. Together you understand what is happening, name what you want to change, and build a path forward that fits your life.
We provide individual therapy for children (ages 5 and up), teens, and adults, drawing on evidence-based approaches matched to your needs.
In person in Hinsdale and Woodstock, or via telehealth across Illinois.
Our approach
How individual therapy works at LodeStone
A whole-picture, coordinated path, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Start with what matters to you
We begin by learning your goals, your history, and what you most want to change, not just where the difficulty shows.
Match you with the right clinician
Our intake team pairs you with a clinician suited to your concerns, preferences, and schedule, in person or via telehealth.
Work at your pace
Your therapist meets you where you are, using evidence-based approaches shaped around your needs and moving as fast or as slow as you need.
Not sure where to start? Get answers and we will match you with the right clinician.

Good to know
Individual therapy: frequently asked questions
What is individual therapy?+
Individual therapy, sometimes called individual counseling or one-on-one therapy, consists of private, regular sessions between you and one clinician. Unlike couples or family work, the focus is entirely on your goals, your history, and what you want to change.
Is individual counseling different from individual therapy?+
Not in any way that matters to you. Clinicians use the words interchangeably. Counseling sometimes describes shorter, more focused work and therapy longer or deeper work, but the same clinician provides both, and you do not need to pick one before you call.
What can I bring to individual therapy?+
Anything. People come for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship trouble, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. You do not need a diagnosis to start.
Do you offer individual therapy for children and teens?+
Yes, from age five. With younger children we often use play therapy and keep parents involved. Teenagers get a space of their own, and we are clear with families from the first session about how privacy works.
How often will I meet with my therapist?+
Most people begin weekly and space sessions out as things improve. Your clinician reviews progress with you openly, and the goal is for you to need us less over time.
