Individual Therapy at Tidyminds
Sometimes life feels like it’s happening at you — not with you. Individual therapy is a space where you don’t have to hold it together, explain yourself perfectly, or “prove” that it’s bad enough. We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and build practical ways forward.
At Tidyminds, individual therapy is:
- Neuroaffirming (ADHD, autistic and sensory-aware)
- Trauma-informed (paced for safety and nervous system regulation)
- Structured and practical (clear goals, tools you can actually use)
- Human and collaborative (no scripts, no judgement)
What you can work on
Clients come to individual therapy for many reasons, including:
- ADHD overwhelm, burnout, procrastination, motivation and follow-through
- Anxiety (worry loops, panic, social anxiety, perfectionism)
- Depression and low mood, numbness, loss of meaning
- Trauma impacts and triggers (including complex trauma patterns)
- Emotional regulation (big feelings, shutdown, irritability, shame spirals)
- Self-esteem, identity, masking and people-pleasing
- Relationships and boundaries (family, work, dating, conflict)
- Life transitions (separation, new parenthood, grief, career change)
- Workplace stress and psychological safety
- “I don’t know what’s wrong, I just can’t keep going like this”
If you’re not sure what to call what you’re experiencing, that’s okay. We can start there.
How we work
Therapy with Tidyminds is tailored to you — your nervous system, your pace, your goals, your context.
Depending on your needs, sessions may draw from:
- ACT (values-based living and psychological flexibility)
- CBT (thinking patterns + skill building)
- DBT-informed tools (distress tolerance and emotion regulation)
- Schema therapy-informed work (longstanding patterns and attachment needs)
- EMDR-informed approaches when appropriate (for trauma processing)
You won’t be forced into a single model. We’ll use what fits.
Most clients book 50-minute sessions. Longer sessions can be helpful if you:
- Need more time to settle (ADHD, anxiety, trauma)
- Do deeper processing work
- Want space for a structured plan and skills practice
You don’t have to be “ready”
You can come to therapy feeling messy, unsure, guarded, or exhausted. You don’t need the right words. You just need a place to start.
