Most of my clients begin with weekly 1 hour psychotherapy sessions and may taper off to every-other-week then monthly sessions as they improve. Each person is different, we may typically meet for a few sessions and others may meet 10 to 20 sessions or even longer term. Once things feel better, some clients may come back on an "as needed" basis for support. I am always here as a touch stone
