Psychotherapy is a journey, and time limits are usually never set. Each client has a therapeutic plan that determines the appropriate length for therapy, with the understanding that this is always open to changing. Upon setting goals for therapy and understanding your unique challenges, your therapist will discuss the plan with you. Most clients will attend 9 to 12 sessions with some attending therapy sessions for much longer. Weekly sessions are recommended to start and sometimes bi-weekly sessions are appropriate as well. Each session can last anywhere between 45-60 minutes. Some couple or family sessions may be up to 90 minutes (this will be discussed with you and the rate for therapy will be prorated to reflect same). It all depends on the treatment plan and the presenting issues you would like to work on as well as the therapeutic goals set out collaboratively with your therapist.
