A MISSION FOR MICHAEL
At AMFM, a strong relationship with your therapist, combined with other supportive measures, can lead to lasting changes.
In individual therapy, you work one-on-one with a therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. It’s a big part of AMFM’s inpatient treatment, and it can help with all kinds of mental health issues. With your therapist, you’ll explore your feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify parts of your life that you’d like to change, and work toward desired goals. There’s more to individual therapy than just symptom relief- it also fosters deep personal growth, understanding of self, and lasting recovery.
At AMFM, we don’t do cookie-cutter therapy. We know that everyone’s journey is unique, which is why our therapy is tailored to fit your specific needs, goals, and circumstances. We’ll take the time to really get to know you, build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect, and choose from a variety of therapeutic techniques to find the one that best suits your situation.

Your first session at AMFM is meant to start you on your recovery path with confidence and clarity. Here’s what you can expect:
Your first session with your therapist will form the foundation of your therapeutic journey. Together, you’ll explore where you are and where you want to go. This session marks the beginning of working together for growth and healing.
You can’t open up if you don’t feel safe, so your therapist will use the first session to build a connection with you. They’ll also assess your needs and set goals for therapy with you.
Privacy and comfort are essential in therapy. Your therapist will provide a secure and confidential environment where you can feel safe to share openly. Understanding the boundaries of confidentiality from the start will make it easier to discuss your thoughts and concerns without hesitation.
To make the most of your first session, you could bring a list of goals you want to achieve or challenges you’re facing. Think about what information is important for your therapist to know, and write down any questions you have about the therapy process. That way, you feel more in control and ready to dive in.
After your initial session, you and your therapist will have laid the groundwork for your journey ahead. You’ll discuss the next steps, which may include scheduling future sessions, what to work on before the next session, and beginning to integrate feedback into your treatment plan. You’ll also have time to reflect on how you felt during the session and any initial thoughts or reactions you might want to explore in your next meetings.
The AMFM comprehensive care model blends individual therapy with a broader range of services. Personalized therapy is just one aspect of treatment, and it works hand in hand with group therapy and medication management. Therapy allows individuals to work on specific personal challenges and goals, while group settings allow them to benefit from the shared experiences and broader perspectives offered in group settings. Medication management, when needed, is carefully coordinated with therapeutic goals, so that every aspect of care works together.
Nothing is more core to our treatment philosophy than the idea of holistic healing—caring for the mind, body, and spirit. A lot of this approach relies on individual therapy, which provides a space for exploration and growth. The therapy is part of an ecosystem that includes nutritional support, physical wellness activities, and mindfulness practices. AMFM wants to make sure that treatment isn’t just about alleviating symptoms, but also about fostering a balanced and fulfilling life.
We believe in the power of individual therapy – alongside comprehensive, holistic care – to transform lives.
