Frequently asked questions.
How long does therapy session usually last?
The length of a session can vary depending on the specific needs of the client and the nature of the therapeutic work being done. Typically, psychotherapy sessions last between 45 to 60 minutes.
During your initial consultation with your therapist, we will discuss and determine what works best for you. Clients most often begin with meeting once a week and then lessen the frequency of appointments as the presenting symptoms lessen. Ultimately, the length and frequency of the psychotherapy session will be tailored to meet your unique needs.

Maintaining a regular therapy schedule, helps to establish a sense of routine and consistency that is important for making progress in therapy.

This policy is designed to ensure that clients receive the best possible care while also respecting the time and needs of their therapists.
