I have friends who have been seeing their therapists for years. Psychotherapy can be either long term or short term depending on the nature of what you wish to work on. Many people come in to work on a specific issue and are ready to leave once that is resolved. Other people may be interested in working more in depth, and wish to explore various parts of their personalities in depth so wish to stay in therapy longer. Either way, I am always interested in us having the opportunity to address your concerns as quickly as possible, and the decision to continue therapy is entirely up to you. Also, anyone with whom I have worked is always free to return or check in at any time in the future.
