What To Expect

How long does counseling last?

Your sessions will be 50 minutes and the last 5/10 minutes will be used to recap the session, discuss goals, and schedule next session.

The first session will be an intake; therefore, the therapist will be collecting a variety of background information. The following sessions the therapist will be getting to know you, building report, and assessing your therapy goals.

The therapeutic relationship develops over a series of sessions. The therapist continually revisits the treatment plan and goals. The pacing of growth and development is individualized to each client.

The need for therapy is different for everyone. You are unique and so is your therapeutic journey.

Sometimes therapy is just a tool to get through the current phase of life or “season”. Other times therapy is part of a lifelong journey to healing.

Whether you are dealing with lack of motivation, low self-confidence, anxiety, depression, trauma related symptoms, or anything in-between that is negatively impacting your quality of life, therapy can help you navigate these situations.
