What to expect from therapy
What to expect from therapy
First session (intake)
Your therapist will ask about your background, current challenges, and goals. This is a chance for both of you to see if it's a good fit. Most first sessions last 50-60 minutes.
Typical frequency
Most people start with weekly sessions. As you progress, you may move to biweekly or monthly. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Session duration
Individual sessions typically last 45-60 minutes. Couples and family sessions may run 60-90 minutes. Online sessions follow the same format.
How long until results
Many people notice improvements within 4-8 sessions. Deeper issues may take 3-6 months. Your therapist will track progress and adjust the approach as needed.
Confidentiality
Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions (risk of harm to self or others). Online sessions use HIPAA-compliant encrypted platforms.
