How long does therapy take?
If a person has a specific problem or goal they want to address, they may need only 2-3 sessions. If a person has a complex issue they want to address, it may take weeks to months. Typically, individuals will see their therapist on a weekly basis. However, during the initial assessment, both the client(s) and the therapist collaborate together to complete an individualized treatment plan to determine the number of sessions and how frequently to meet.
