This depends on each individual. There are some clients who prefer to be in therapy once a week for a short period of time, to help them get through a transition or difficult time. Other clients are looking to develop a long-term relationship and prefer to have sessions every two weeks or even, once a month. Most therapists will suggest consistency, especially in the beginning of treatment in order to build a strong foundation. This is a very important topic to discuss during your first session. The duration of a session also varies on therapist and type of treatment. My sessions last 50 minutes for individual and couples/family therapy.
