Individual Psychotherapy in Dallas–Fort Worth

Compassionate Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy is a personalized form of psychological counselling where you have one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist and psychologist. During individual counseling sessions, you are encouraged to explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences in a safe and confidential setting. Unlike group therapy, where several people discuss shared concerns, individual psychotherapy focuses entirely on your personal challenges, emotional well-being, and treatment goals.

Mid Cities Psychiatry offers evidence-based individual psychotherapy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Whether you’re suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma, our comprehensive individual counseling sessions provide a safe space for you to heal and grow. Our clinicians use psychological counselling techniques to help you better understand your emotions, thought processes, and behaviors, while building meaningful, long-term change.

Fantastic staff and providers, excellent services, amazing care, compassionate professionals, timely prescription refills, and a calm atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

I have had amazing experiences with this business, both on the medical and business side. Any issues I've experienced with billing have been handled gracefully and with patience; the staff are very easy to talk to and are understanding. I LOVE PA Hofer; she (and other staff) are always very quick to answer online Portal questions, are very flexible with visits, understand when it comes to medication costs/changes, and go the extra step when it comes to evidence-based practice.

I've been taking my mom to Dr. Kazi for the past 17 months and we still go. She is an amazing physician and her staff is very warm and welcoming. She has helped my mom when mom needed her the most. If it was not for Dr. Kazi's, I don't know what would have happened to my mom. I am so grateful to her. The bonus is her staff is awesome. Very response to emails and phone calls. Amanda is amazing!! I can't thank Dr. Kazi enough!!
