Summary

Find individual mental health treatment and therapy sessions in Monterey County at Montage Health. We’ll build a plan around you, with specialized care for depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, and more.

When stress, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms start to interfere with your life, it helps to have support that feels personal. Individual mental health care at Montage Health gives you a private space to talk things through, understand your symptoms, and take steps toward feeling better.

With options available such as psychiatry, therapy, medication, or a combination of both, our team will help you choose the right type of care based on your goals and day-to-day challenges.

Types of individual treatment

Our treatment approach starts with you. You’ll undergo a behavioral health assessment with a mental health clinician. During this evaluation, you’ll be able to share your experiences, review mental health history, and complete brief screeners as needed. Then, we’ll recommend the next best steps in your care. Your plan may include:

Psychiatry (medication and treatment planning)

Psychiatry can help when symptoms start to affect how you feel and function. You’ll meet with a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner to talk about challenges that have made everyday life more difficult. These may include mood changes, sleep issues, trouble concentrating, or relationship stress. If medication can help, you’ll review options together.

Individual psychotherapy

In therapy, you’ll have one-on-one time to discuss concerns, spot unhealthy patterns, and work towards meaningful change. Together, you and your therapist will set goals and practice new coping skills you can use in daily life. You can schedule sessions as often as you’d like. We’ll help adjust your plan over time as your needs change.

Specialized psychiatric treatments

If standard treatments haven’t worked for you in the past, you’re not out of options. We offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and esketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression. These advanced approaches involve a series of in-clinic sessions over several weeks. Your care team will work with you to explore treatment options.

What are the benefits of individual therapy?

Individual therapy offers dedicated time to focus on your story with a single therapist. That consistency matters. Each session will build upon the last, rather than starting from scratch. Over time, your therapist gets to know you, what you’re dealing with, and what support helps most.

Some people come to therapy to work through a specific situation, such as grief, a major life change, or a difficult relationship. Others need ongoing support for anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition. Your therapist works alongside you. Together, you’ll set practical goals and track progress along the way. As life shifts, therapy can too. We always stay focused on what matters to you.
