Individual Counseling

One-on-One Support That Goes Beyond Surface Change

You can’t heal what you’re not allowed to talk about. You can’t grow in an environment where you feel judged. And you can’t move forward if you’re only being treated for symptoms — not the source.

That’s why Individual Counseling at In The Gap Academy is a cornerstone of our recovery model. We offer trauma-informed, culturally grounded, person-centered therapy designed to help clients understand not just what they’re doing — but why.

Whether you’re working through substance use, reentry stress, relationship trauma, or emotional instability, our clinicians help you unpack your experiences, develop new insight, and build a life with structure and purpose.

Why One-on-One Therapy Matters in Recovery

Group therapy is powerful — but there are things you need space to say privately. Individual counseling creates that space. It’s a place to explore your patterns, make sense of your past, and learn tools that actually apply to your life.

At ITG Academy, we provide more than just “sessions.” We build relationships that lead to real breakthroughs.

Our clients use individual counseling to:

Unpack the trauma or grief behind their substance use

Process shame, guilt, or fear from their legal history or past behavior

Learn how to regulate emotions instead of reacting to them

Build a healthy self-concept after years of being labeled, dismissed, or punished

Explore their goals, values, and identity outside of addiction or survival mode

Navigate triggers and setbacks without spiraling or shutting down

What Individual Counseling Looks Like at ITG

Every client begins with a clinical assessment, where we listen carefully to your story, not just your symptoms. From there, you’re matched with a licensed clinician who helps develop a personalized treatment plan built around your needs, pace, and strengths.

Sessions typically include:

Weekly or bi-weekly 1:1 appointments with your therapist

Goal-setting based on your personal challenges and priorities

Trauma-informed frameworks to guide emotional exploration

Culturally relevant language and understanding

Coordination with your group therapist, case manager, or peer mentor (when applicable)

Optional integration with housing, life skills, or employment services

You won’t get a cookie-cutter experience here. Every session is designed to help you make meaningful progress — even if that means just learning to feel safe again.

Who We Serve

Our Individual Counseling services are open to:

Adults and adolescents enrolled in PHP, IOP, or OP programs

Court-mandated clients needing one-on-one therapy for compliance

Clients working through trauma, depression, anxiety, or grief

Individuals reentering society after incarceration

Parents, caregivers, or family members in distress

People who feel stuck — emotionally, mentally, or spiritually

We serve underserved and overlooked populations with intentional care and culturally responsive practice. No matter what you’ve been through, you will not be reduced to a diagnosis or a file.

Why Choose ITG for Counseling?

We understand your world.

Our clinicians don’t expect perfection — they respect your story. Many of our team members bring both clinical expertise and lived experience, offering a unique blend of credibility and compassion.

We work with the whole person.

If housing, transportation, or job stress is affecting your mental health, we’ll help you address it. Counseling at ITG doesn’t ignore life’s complications — it integrates them.

We’re committed to consistency

We know healing requires trust. That’s why we prioritize continuity of care, thoughtful matching, and clear communication. You won’t be bounced between providers or rushed through treatment.

We center dignity and possibility

You are not your mistakes. You are not your diagnosis. In this space, you are a person — with potential, purpose, and power.

Let’s Take the First Step Together

Most clients who come to us have tried other programs — and left feeling judged, dismissed, or stuck. What makes ITG Academy different is that we don’t just treat the symptoms. We treat the systemic barriers holding people back.

You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to settle for less. ITG Academy offers treatment that transforms — because we treat the whole person.
