SST (Single Session Therapy)

Single session therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but it can provide valuable insights, tools, and a sense of relief in a short time. If you feel like you want to address a specific challenge and are unsure whether ongoing therapy is necessary, SST might be an ideal option for you. The main idea is to provide you with meaningful support and actionable strategies in just one session, rather than committing to a series of sessions. While it’s not a replacement for long-term therapy, SST can be highly effective for clients who may need quick guidance or have limited time or resources.

Single Session Therapy (SST) is a research-supported and evidence-based therapeutic approach that has been shown to be effective in addressing a variety of psychological issues, providing practical and actionable solutions in a single session.

Questions to Help you Determine if SST is Right for you

1. Do I have a specific issue or concern that I’d like to address right now?

• Single Session Therapy is typically best suited for addressing one specific challenge or goal. If you have a broad or ongoing concern, it may require more than one session or a different therapeutic approach.

2. Do I have a clear idea of the issue or situation I want to work on?

• If you’re uncertain about what’s bothering you or don’t have a clear sense of the problem, it may be harder to engage in a productive single session.

3. Am I seeking guidance for something temporary or short-term, like a particular decision, event, or stressor?

• SST works well for addressing temporary challenges such as preparing for a specific event, making a key decision, or managing short-term stress.

4.Is my issue something I’m ready to address and actively work on?

• SST is more effective if you're ready and willing to take action on the issue at hand. If you're looking for an open-ended approach, a series of sessions may be more appropriate.
