The therapy process is different for everyone.
There is no guaranteed number of sessions needed to attend to “start feeling better.” It all depends on individual needs and circumstances. You will work with your clinician on treatment goals and expectations to determine when the right time is to close this chapter of your mental health journey.
Therapy is both practice and treatment. It’s great to seek help when we are in need of it, but as with any other medical intervention, check-ins and maintenance yield the best results! Our clinicians allow the greatest schedule flexibility possible for your convenience. Additionally, we recognize time and money are precious resources and work with you to establish a schedule that supports your needs. Here are some scenarios as a baseline:
Short-term therapy: 6 to 12 sessions
- Ideal for focused concerns like managing stress, a breakup, or situational anxiety.
Medium-term therapy: 12 to 24 sessions
- Often used for moderate depression, anxiety disorders, or relationship challenges.
Long-term therapy: Ongoing (6+ months)
- Recommended for more complex or long-standing concerns, such as trauma, personality disorders, or deep-rooted emotional patterns.
