Individual Therapy Sessions

The path to lasting addiction recovery is not linear. With regular, individual therapy sessions, you receive consistent, high-level support to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate your progress. In one-on-one talk therapy, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of your addiction, identify the harmful patterns holding you back, and gain the skills to move forward with clarity and confidence. At MLB Recovery, our outpatient treatment programs meet you where you are. You’ll work with compassionate professionals who recognize your strength and believe in your ability to create lasting change.

The Importance of One-on-One Therapy During Recovery

Therapy during addiction treatment is more than just a space to talk. It’s a vital part of the healing process. Individual therapy sessions help you uncover the root causes of your substance use, manage mental health symptoms, and build resilience in your daily life. Having a private and confidential space to discuss deeper issues with your therapist creates the perfect opportunity to focus on your recovery goals and set yourself up for long-term healing and sobriety.

Our Trauma-Informed Therapy Approach at MLB

Many individuals who seek addiction treatment have experienced trauma. At MLB Recovery, our licensed clinicians are trained in trauma-informed therapy. This means your safety, trust, and emotional readiness always come first. We’ll work together to process painful experiences.

By approaching therapy through a trauma-informed lens, we help you reduce shame, increase emotional safety, and begin to rebuild your self-worth in recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a highly effective form of therapy used to treat both substance use and mental health disorders. It helps you identify and shift the negative thought patterns that lead to harmful behaviors. In your individual sessions, you’ll work with your therapist to:

Recognize the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions
Build healthy coping mechanisms for stress and cravings
Improve emotional regulation and problem-solving skills

CBT is practical, goal-oriented, and focused on helping you move forward.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is especially helpful for individuals dealing with intense emotions, trauma, or dual-diagnosis conditions. It teaches essential life skills that make recovery more manageable and sustainable. In individual therapy, your DBT-trained clinician will guide you in:

Strengthening mindfulness and emotional regulation
Coping with distress in healthy, non-destructive ways
Navigating relationships with clear communication and boundaries

At MLB Recovery, DBT is one of several evidence-based approaches we use to support addiction outpatient treatment in New Jersey.
