The benefits of mental health care are gradually being accepted, with over 60 million American adults prioritizing mental health support annually, and Andrew’s Compassionate Legacy offers one-on-one therapy via telehealth to ensure access all across Washington state. Board-certified nurse practitioner Dr. Gina Hardage-Athetis, MSc, FNP-BC, PsyD, PhD, creates a safe and confidential space where you can speak freely about struggles with behaviors, substance use disorder, stress, or loss, and be heard and understood. Schedule your appointment today by using the online scheduler or calling the office.
For one-on-one therapy at Andrew’s Compassionate Legacy, you and Dr. Hardage-Athetis explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be affecting your well-being. She can also discuss issues like substance use, relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression.
Unlike group therapy, where you share experiences with other people, individual therapy focuses entirely on your unique situation and personal goals.
Dr. Hardage-Athetis may use a variety of evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify negative thought patterns, or motivational interviewing techniques to strengthen your readiness for change.
Some advantages include:
Because the session is focused solely on you, Dr. Hardage-Athetis can tailor conversations, techniques, and strategies to your specific needs and goals.
It may be easier to discuss sensitive topics (such as substance use, trauma, or personal struggles) in a private setting. Individual therapy provides a confidential environment where you can speak openly without fear of judgment.
Dr. Hardage-Athetis can spend more time understanding your history, identifying behavioral patterns, and helping you develop practical coping strategies.
If you have substance struggles, individual therapy can uncover triggers and help you prevent relapse. By working closely with Dr. Hardage-Athetis, you can develop personalized plans for managing cravings, stress, and difficult emotions.
One-on-one therapy via telehealth allows you to meet with Dr. Hardage-Athetis through secure video or phone sessions that you access from the comfort of your home. If you have a busy schedule, transportation challenges, or particularly value privacy, you can receive consistent care much easier.
Dr. Hardage-Athetis guides the conversation based on your treatment goals. You may discuss recent challenges, explore emotional patterns, practice coping strategies, or review progress since your last session. She may also suggest exercises or tools to practice between sessions, such as journaling, mindfulness techniques, or breathing exercises.
Your visits are confidential and structured to provide the same level of professional care as in-person therapy. Over time, regular sessions can help you build the foundation for the fulfilling life you want.
