It depends on why you’re in therapy and what you’re hoping to get out of it. Many people feel relief after the first session. And oftentimes you’ll make some progress in 6- 12 weeks.  If you’re coming in because of a crisis or life transition, therapy can last around 6 months to a year. If you’re looking to address more deeply rooted patterns of behavior, therapy might last longer.  I have found that many of the people I work with deeply value having the time and space address their emotional health. As you start to feel better, we can assess where you are with your goals, see if any new issues have popped up that may be worth addressing, or if it’s time to end therapy.  My door is always open – even if we terminate, you are welcome to reach out at any time to check in.
