During your first appointment, you and your therapist will get to know one another. Your therapist will ask you questions to better understand you and your areas of struggle. This is known as an assessment. Depending on how much you share, the assessment phase can last anywhere from one to three appointments. The assessment is critical. It helps you and your therapist understand your goals, and it helps your therapist develop a treatment plan to support you in achieving these goals.

Most people will have a therapy session every two weeks, and we recommend this for optimal treatment. Effective therapy typically takes somewhere between six to twelve appointments (for some more, others less). Many choose to continue therapy once formal treatment is complete. This is referred to as maintenance. People who do this typically have an appointment once every six to eight weeks. This is not a requirement and is a matter of personal choice.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, you must do so at least 48 hours prior to your session. Late cancellations (less than 48 hours’ notice) and no-shows will be billed at the full session rate. This policy is strictly enforced.

To help you remember upcoming appointments, we send 72 hour reminder emails. This gives you 24 hours to cancel your appointment (and allows us to fill the spot with someone in need of mental health care).
