The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on individual needs, the nature of the concerns, and personal goals. Some clients find relief within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support. We work collaboratively with you to establish a treatment plan tailored to your specific circumstances.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session, often called an intake, is focused on getting to know you and understanding your concerns. You'll have the opportunity to share your background, reasons for seeking therapy, and your goals. Your therapist will gather information to develop a personalized treatment plan and may introduce some therapeutic techniques. It's a chance for you to ask questions and become comfortable with the therapeutic process.
