Individual Counseling​

Individual counseling consists of one-on-one therapy sessions. Sessions are 50 minutes in length, and generally occur weekly. Your session will be blocked for 60 minutes to allow us time after your session for us to discuss any necessary administrative details (scheduling, billing, etc.) Some people find they are able to reach their goals in just a few sessions, while others benefit from long-term, ongoing therapy. The number of sessions is something the client and counselor decide together depending on the client’s needs, goals, and circumstances.
