Frequently Asked Questions

Our work typically follows these phases, though the process is always personalized to your needs:

1. Assessment and Goal Setting: We'll explore your concerns, history, and what you hope to achieve through therapy.

2. Developing Insights and Skills: Together, we'll identify patterns and develop practical strategies to address your challenges.

3. Implementation and Growth: You'll apply new insights and skills in your daily life, with ongoing support and adjustments as needed.

4. Integration and Maintenance: As progress is made, we'll focus on solidifying gains and preparing for continued growth after therapy concludes.

Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, sometimes referred to as a "therapeutic hour."

Most clients begin with weekly sessions. As you progress, we may adjust to biweekly or monthly sessions. The frequency depends on your needs, goals, and progress.

The duration varies greatly depending on your specific concerns, goals, and progress. Some clients achieve their goals in just a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly review your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
