WHAT TO EXPECT
Personalized Attention for All Your Needs
Your first session will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and your therapist to get to know each other and get an idea of how to proceed. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature. For example, in your second session, you may explore a specific symptom, problem, or past trauma you mentioned in the first session. Therapy sessions typically take place once a week on the same day and last 50 minutes.
Depending on your identified goals, therapy can last a few sessions or several weeks, months or years. While you likely want to know how long it's going to take to "feel better," there's no simple answer. It's very individualized.
In most cases, a therapist is required to keep information discussed during therapy private. However, a therapist is required to breach confidentiality if a client poses an imminent threat to themselves, the therapist, or a third party. The exceptions to confidentiality are discussed during the initial intake appointment.
