How long will I be in Therapy?
The length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on your unique goals, needs, and the challenges you're facing. Some people may find short-term therapy helpful for addressing specific concerns, which can take a few weeks or months. Others may choose to engage in longer-term therapy to work through deeper issues or continue growing and exploring themselves over time.
During our first few sessions, we’ll discuss your goals and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels right for you. Therapy is a personal journey, and there’s no one-size-fits-all timeline—what’s most important is finding the pace and duration that support your growth and healing. You’re always in control of how long you choose to continue.
How frequently will we meet?
Therapy is most effective when conducted on a weekly basis. Research and my professional experience as a therapist have shown that consistent weekly sessions provide the trust, consistency, and momentum necessary for meaningful progress and lasting change. For this reason, I ask all individual therapy clients to commit to regular weekly sessions.
When you feel ready to conclude therapy, we can gradually reduce the frequency of sessions to ease the transition and support your continued growth. For couples who have established a strong foundation of communication and trust, we may also taper session frequency as you become more confident in addressing challenges together independently.
