Why Choose Mount Sinai Wellness Center
Personalized treatment plans
Your therapy plan uses proven methods like CBT and DBT. We build it around where you are now and where you're trying to get to.
Dual diagnosis care from the start
Depression, anxiety, and trauma often occur alongside addiction. We treat the whole picture with dual diagnosis from day one.
24/7 medical and emotional support
Certified medical staff stay on-site around the clock. You'll also have chef-prepared meals, comfortable rooms, and wellness activities.
Family involvement and relationship repair
We help you rebuild damaged bonds. Your loved ones learn how to support your recovery without enabling old patterns during family programs.
What Individual Counseling Treats
One-on-one therapy gives you private time to work through deep-rooted causes behind substance use and mental health challenges. Session length can vary, but it typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. During each one, you’re guided by a professional, with any sharing done at your own pace.
This therapy helps if you’re dealing with:
Alcohol and drug addiction
Co-occurring anxiety or depression
Trauma from your past
Thought patterns that keep you stuck
Damaged relationships with family or friends
Unresolved grief, anger, or stress
Evidence-Based Methods in Individual Psychotherapy
Your therapist draws from methods backed by clinical research. Each approach targets different parts of your well-being, and your plan will match your specific needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you see how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions. You'll learn to catch negative thinking and replace it with more realistic ideas.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches four skills: staying present, handling stress without substances, managing your emotions, and communicating better with people in your life.
Trauma-Informed Care
We use prolonged exposure for trauma processing and Seeking Safety for coping skills. Beyond Trauma offers gender-responsive care, while ART targets PTSD symptoms.
Relational and Attachment-Based Therapy
These methods look at how your relationships shape your recovery. You'll understand old attachment patterns and learn healthier ways to connect with people.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Our medication-assisted treatment pairs FDA-approved meds like buprenorphine or naltrexone with therapy. Your doctor assesses whether it fits with your recovery plan.
Holistic Wellness Integration
Your sessions might include yoga, mindfulness, nutrition coaching, breathwork, or meditation. These methods connect you with your mind and body for full healing.

Noticing triggers before they knock you off track
Managing cravings without reaching for substances

FAQs
How often will I have sessions?
Most people have three to five sessions each week during residential treatment. The exact number depends on your needs and the level of care you’re at.
Will my therapist share what I say with others?
Sessions are confidential. Therapists only share information with your treatment team when it’s necessary for your safety or care and has been signed off on by you.
Can I request a specific type of therapy?
Yes. If you’ve done CBT before or want to focus on trauma, tell your therapist, and they’ll work it into your plan if appropriate.
Does individual therapy work for addiction?
Research shows it significantly improves outcomes, especially when you pair it with medical support and group counseling.
How is individual therapy different from group therapy?
Individual therapy gives you private, focused time on your specific goals. Group therapy offers peer support and reduces feelings of isolation. Most plans include both.
Do you treat trauma in individual therapy?
Yes. Our therapists specialize in trauma-informed care and can help you process difficult experiences safely.
