Individual Therapy
At Bishop Health, we understand that taking the first step toward mental wellness can be daunting. Individual therapy, or psychotherapy or counseling, is a process where clients work one-on-one with a qualified mental health professional in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. This personalized approach focuses on the client’s immediate or near-future concerns. It can involve working through feelings, beliefs, behaviors, and personal issues such as work-related stress, grief, or relationship troubles.
Why Choose Individual Therapy?
Mental health is a critical component of overall well-being. Individual therapy offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and problem-solving. Every individual is unique, and so are their mental health needs. Our therapists tailor their approach to suit your specific situation, ensuring a treatment that resonates with you on a personal level.
Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, beliefs, and behaviors without fear of criticism. From anxiety and depression to stress and life transitions, individual therapy can effectively address a wide range of mental health concerns. Additionally, individual therapy helps build resilience. Through therapy, you can learn coping strategies and skills to manage life’s challenges more effectively, leading to a stronger, more resilient you.
Our Treatment Methods
At Bishop Health, our therapists employ various treatment methods, each proven to support mental health differently.
Some of our primary methods include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This widely used technique helps identify and change negative thought patterns, leading to more positive behaviors and feelings.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach focuses on understanding how past experiences and the unconscious mind influence current behaviors. It’s particularly effective for long-standing emotional issues.

TMS TherapyÂ
Bishop Health in Delray Beach, Florida, offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy as an advanced treatment option for depression. This FDA-approved, medication-free, and non-invasive method uses targeted magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain areas involved in mood regulation, often underactive in those with depression or anxiety. TMS has shown long-lasting effectiveness with minimal side effects. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, allowing clients to resume daily activities immediately. TMS is an ideal alternative for those who haven’t found success with traditional therapy or medication.Â
How Does TMS Work?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive medical technique used primarily for treating depression and certain other neurological conditions. It works by using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. These magnetic fields, when rapidly turned on and off, induce small electric currents in the area of the brain directly under the coil.
The coil is usually positioned over areas of the brain thought to be involved in mood regulation. The prefrontal cortex is a common target in depression treatment. The induced electric currents stimulate nerve cells in the targeted brain region. This can help reset the activity of neurons that have become dysregulated in conditions like depression.
A typical TMS session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and does not require anesthesia. clients typically receive TMS five days a week for four to six weeks.
Stimulation can increase the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which play a role in mood regulation. TMS is thought to enhance neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new connections and pathways, which can lead to improved mood and cognitive function. The therapeutic method is most commonly used for treating major depressive disorder, especially when clients have not responded to antidepressant medications.
TMS does not require surgery or implantation of electrodes and is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are scalp discomfort at the treatment site and headache. Serious side effects, like seizures, are extremely rare.
TMS represents a significant advancement in the non-invasive treatment of depression and other neurological disorders. Its ability to modulate brain activity with minimal side effects makes it an appealing option for those who haven’t found relief with traditional treatments. However, like any medical treatment, clients must discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives with a healthcare provider.
Ketamine Therapy (Spravato)
Ketamine, a medication initially developed as an anesthetic, has found a new role in the treatment of specific mental health conditions, most notably treatment-resistant depression. Spravato, which contains esketamine (a chemical relative of ketamine), is a nasal spray formulation approved explicitly for this purpose.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that target the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, ketamine works primarily by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain. This action is believed to lead to increased levels of glutamate, a neurotransmitter, in between neurons. The glutamate then activates connections in another part of the brain, leading to the release of other molecules that help neurons communicate with each other along new pathways. This is thought to affect mood, thought patterns, and cognition.
Many benefits go hand-in-hand with Spravato, including its rapid onset of action. Traditional antidepressants can take weeks to become effective, but ketamine can produce noticeable mood improvements within hours or days.
Spravato is administered via a nasal spray, typically in a certified doctor’s office or clinic. clients are monitored for at least two hours after administration because of potential side effects like sedation and dissociation.
Ketamine can cause various side effects, including disassociation (feeling disconnected from oneself and reality), dizziness, nausea, sedation, increased blood pressure, and feelings of euphoria. Due to its potential for abuse and serious side effects, its use is strictly regulated.
Ketamine Infusion TherapyÂ
Ketamine infusion therapy is a treatment method where ketamine, a medication originally used as an anesthetic, is administered intravenously (IV) at sub-anesthetic doses to treat various chronic conditions, most notably certain mental health disorders.
While it’s most widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating major depression, particularly treatment-resistant depression, ketamine infusion therapy is also used for conditions like severe anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and certain chronic pain conditions like neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia.
Ketamine’s antidepressant effect is attributed to its ability to block NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors in the brain. This blockade leads to an increase in the production of glutamate, a neurotransmitter, which in turn stimulates the growth of new synapses. This is believed to aid in mood regulation and in alleviating symptoms of depression.
In ketamine infusion therapy, the drug is diluted and administered as an IV infusion over a period of time, typically 40 minutes to an hour. At Bishop Health, infusions are carried out in a clinical setting under the supervision of a healthcare professional. We closely monitor the client’s response to the treatment while managing any potential side effects. The side effects of ketamine infusion therapy can include nausea, dizziness, dissociation (a sense of detachment from reality), elevated blood pressure, and in rare cases, hallucinations.Â
One remarkable feature of ketamine infusion therapy is the rapidity with which it can alleviate symptoms. Some clients report mood improvements within hours of receiving the treatment, a significant advantage over traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show effects.
The treatment regimen usually involves a series of infusions over several weeks. The exact number and frequency of infusions vary depending on the individual’s response and the condition being treated. Furthermore, ktamine infusion therapy is generally used in conjunction with other forms of treatment like psychotherapy and medication. It is not typically the first line of treatment and is usually considered when other treatments are ineffective. To learn more about whether or not this therapeutic treatment option is right for you or a loved one, contact Bishop Health today.Â
Ketamine infusion therapy represents an innovative approach to treating certain mental health and chronic pain conditions, offering new hope for clients who have not responded to traditional therapies. However, it is essential to approach this treatment under the guidance of a qualified medical professional due to its potential side effects and the need for careful monitoring.
