There aren’t any hard and fast rules when it comes to this. It entirely depends on what brought you to psychotherapy, your goals, and your effort to practice what you’re working on in your daily life.  Each person takes a different path.
During the first session, we’ll explore what makes the most sense for your situation (e.g. lifestyle, travel/work schedule, finances, etc.) and come up with a plan. Your therapist will monitor your progress and have ongoing conversations with you about it. Once you reach your goals, together with your therapist, you’ll wrap up therapy and say goodbye. Some clients prefer to check-in with their therapist as needed or for monthly maintenance sessions after their initial work together ends. Others decide to stay in therapy and shift their focus to other goals and areas of their lives. Again, we’re here to support you whatever your situation calls for.
We promise to support you as long as you need, but no more than necessary.
Update as of March 2020: Based on 157 responses to our anonymous exit survey, 73% of clients successfully complete therapy in 10 sessions or less. The average number of sessions is 8.
