Sessions are usually 45 minutes. Most clients are seen once or twice a week in the beginning, then, as time goes on, less frequently. The number of sessions depends on what your current needs are.


​How long will I be in counseling?
The length of time a client is in counseling depends the nature of the problem and the goals of the counseling.
