Frequently Asked Questions


How long are therapy sessions?

Standard therapy sessions are 50-60 minutes in length.

How often do therapy sessions occur?

We find that therapy is most effective when sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis. As progress is achieved, there is greater time between sessions to build confidence in client’s ability to create change on their own.

How long does it take to obtain an appointment?

Our policy is to schedule an appointment in a week or less as long as your schedule permits.

Is it okay to ask for a different therapist if I/we aren’t comfortable?

Yes. The therapeutic experience is most effective when you are able to feel comfortable and connect with your therapist. So, we will gladly make adjustments to ensure that you are happy.

Does therapy really work?

Yes! Therapy absolutely works when experienced, caring, therapists work with motivated clients, who are willing to put time, energy, and effort into the therapeutic process.

As a matter of fact, Consumer Reports published an article with their conclusions after conducting an extensive independent survey of psychotherapy clients. A startling 90% of the 4,000 respondents reported that they were doing substantially better after treatment. What’s more, researchers found that individuals who were treated with psychotherapy alone achieved the same results as those treated with medication and therapy.
