How long will I/my child be in psychotherapy?
Psychologists at Huffman Psychology are of the philosophy that for many patients, short-term and problem-focused psychotherapy can be effective. For some patients, long-term supportive therapy is indicated. The amount of time that any one person spends in therapy may vary depending on symptomatology, initial severity, rate of progress, motivation, consistency of appointments, set-backs, and stressors. After the initial appointment, your psychologist will discuss treatment length for you or your child in more detail. Throughout therapy, your psychologist pays careful attention to you or your childs progress and will regularly monitor and work towards target treatment goals and completion dates.
