How long does psychotherapy last –weeks, months, years?
The duration of therapy is highly variable. The average number of sessions for individuals in my practice is approximately 10-16. It could be many more if you are attempting to deal with lifelong issues or change deeply entrenched behaviors or emotions. You will likely feel significant relief from emotional symptoms within just a few sessions, but lasting change takes a bit longer. Lasting change for significant problems may well take over a year.
