THE PROCESS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY

• A Comprehensive Evaluation is conducted in the first session to obtain a sense of your history and current concerns.
• The second session is used to collaboratively determine your goals for therapy.
• The length of therapy can vary depending on your needs and circumstances, but most commonly, a productive course of therapy runs anywhere from about 6 months to 2-3 years.
• Sessions are usually scheduled for 45 to 55 minutes, once or twice a week.
• The frequency of sessions can change over the course of treatment, e.g. going from once to twice a week. Near the end of therapy, we may schedule meetings less frequently.
• I also periodically like to review our progress and reevaluate our goals for therapy.
