What happens in Professional Counseling?

Generally, we meet together once a week for about 50 minutes. During that time the complete focus is on you, what is going on in your life and what will make your life better. I will help you to build insight, to gain understanding and to learn to respond in stronger, healthier ways. I often will suggest things you can think about or do between our sessions for growth.

We make the decision about length of treatment together. Often I will have a rough idea after a session or two of how long therapy might be beneficial. Some clients remain in therapy for just a brief time, six to eight sessions. Other clients who have had long-standing problems may choose to stay in therapy for many months. Initially, I see clients once a week, unless they are in crisis. As soon as they are feeling better and seem ready to start tapering therapy, sessions are once every two weeks, then once every three weeks. This more gradual tapering of sessions allows you to practice the skills you've learned while still in therapy.

Most clients notice a decrease in their symptoms within three to four weeks of therapy if they have been faithfully attending sessions and doing the suggested assignments between sessions on a daily basis.
