The first time we meet, we’ll go over your history and discuss what you would like to get out of our time together moving forward. This first session will generally take about 75-90 minutes. Every subsequent session builds on the one before. My goal is not to keep you in therapy forever. My work involves getting you to the point where you don’t need me at all because you’ve made tremendous progress or meet on an as needed basis. Most clients meet with me every two weeks at first, but some request to meet weekly. After a few sessions, my hope is to get you to eventually taper off, but it really depends on your situation. Traumatic backgrounds, for example, generally take quite some time.
