What to Expect in Therapy
Therapy is a process.
Typically, clients are scheduled for 50 min sessions, once weekly. This may vary depending on Treatment Plan and need. While we cannot determine length of treatment, brief counseling is generally 3-6 months on a weekly basis. When working through more complex issues, treatment can easily go beyond 6 months and into long term counseling.
*Participating in weekly sessions is a valuable investment of time and resources. We ask that if you choose to schedule, it is because you are open to committing to this process and the mental health treatment of you or your child.
