This is a very difficult question. But, the answer ultimately lies with my clients as they know better than I their initial goals and progress made in counseling. If you are seeking short term therapy, I will work very hard to tailor sessions to your targeted goals so you can have your specific needs met in a brief period of time. If your goals are less specific and you wish to work on a deeper or broader level, I’ll work within that framework as well. The length of counseling ultimately depends upon the number of issues wanting to be addressed, the breadth of the problem(s), and the work completed between sessions to facilitate change. But, the process is a collaboration and I will always want to check in regarding your progress and satisfaction.
