Please note that emergencies are handled on a case-by-case basis. We understand that unexpected situations arise, so please contact us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule your appointment.
How long does therapy usually last?
Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and the length of time in counseling can vary for each person. During the first couple of sessions, a general outline and treatment plan will be established between you and your therapist. There is no way to expedite or speed up the process of therapy; however, the more open and willing you are to it, the more you will get out of it.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
We encourage all clients to review the bio of the therapist they’re considering and set up a free consultation to speak to that therapist more in-depth. This will give you an opportunity to ask any question to feel more comfortable with their selection.
