FAQ

How many sessions do I need with a counselor?

Counseling

The answer to this question is entirely up to you.  Therapy is very much dependent on each individual and the goals they are interested in achieving.  Some desire short-term goals, which could last anywhere from 6-12 sessions, while others are wanting to accomplish some long-term goals which could last a year or more.
