How long does this take? How often do we meet?
We can work together in therapy for as long - or as briefly - as you want. If you have a specific issue that we can directly address, it is more likely that we will be able to make significant progress in a few months. If you want to work on changing more pervasive life or relationship patterns, it will likely take longer. After our first few sessions, we will have a better sense.
In most cases, I recommend that we meet weekly. This way we can build the understanding and trust that make up a good working relationship. Meeting weekly also gives you time to apply what you discover in our sessions. In crisis situations, we may want to meet more frequently. Once you have made significant strides toward your goals, we may decide to meet bi-weekly or monthly to solidify your progress. Alternately, you may choose to wrap up at any time, knowing that you can come back in whenever you want.
