4. How Long Is A Session and How Often Do I come?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and are often scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, especially in the beginning. Most people have been struggling to deal with difficult situations by the time they come to therapy. Weekly sessions at the beginning will help to keep you accountable and motivated to work towards your goals in an efficient way. As therapy progresses, we can work together to determine if weekly sessions will continue to be useful. Some people will find that as they begin to heal and grow, fewer sessions are needed. The frequency of sessions can be adjusted in order to best meet your needs and maintain positive change.

5. Why Should I Speak To A Therapist and Not a Friend?

When it comes to mental health, it's important to seek professional help from a therapist rather than relying solely on a friend.

Therapy can offer a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings, and evidence-based treatment to help you improve your mental health and well-being.
