How long are the sessions and how often do they occur?
Traditionally, sessions are once per week and last 50 minutes with an option for 50 or 80 minutes couples sessions. In some cases sessions might be twice per week, at the beginning of treatment or during crisis. In other cases sessions might be every other week. An every other week schedule is also common once issues have been resolved and termination is being considered. And therapy lasts for however long is it useful, which can be anywhere from a few sessions to working with a therapist for several years. I work collaboratively with my clients and you can discuss these treatment planning questions together with me. Your needs and expectations are an important part of this planning process and ultimately your treatment. For general purposes, you can assume that if you are looking at an issue that has come up fairly recently, treatment may be shorter. If you are addressing some long standing issues, treatment is usually longer. You can typically expect treatment to last about six month
