At the beginning of treatment, therapy sessions are usually scheduled weekly, but as you reach your goals, we will begin to space out sessions to once every two weeks, then once a month before ending completely. This gradual process ensures that you feel comfortable practicing new skills and addressing obstacles that come your way while still receiving support before completely ending therapy. In certain specific cases, clients who are in crisis or really struggling may benefit from more than one session per week but only until the crisis passes.
