The first session, also known as the intake appointment, is 80-90 minutes. Following sessions are typically 50-60 minutes.
However, some people prefer to continue meeting for 90 minutes for various reasons. For example, if your seeking couples or family counseling you might need more time to allow everyone to voice their thoughts, process feelings, and feel understood. Ultimately, it's up to you?
In the beginning, we typically recommend weekly sessions. As you begin to make progress and grow we begin to meet less often. You might prefer to meet more or less frequently depending on your needs. We encouage you to speak with your counselor to identify what works for you!
The length of treatment varies from person to person based on various factors such as their motivation, how much effort they put into practicing skills outside of sessions, their current symptoms, goals, and so on. Counseling can be a short-term solution-focused process or a more in-depth process. Some people come to counseling for a few sessions, a few months, or years. We value our time with you and believe it's important to check in with you frequently to ensure progress is being made.
