+ How long is each session?

Individual or family therapy sessions are usually between 45-55 minutes. An intake session may take 60-120 minutes depending on need and complexity of assessment. Testing sessions are also determined by testing necessity, which will be discussed with your provider.

+ How long until I notice improvement?

This can depend on several elements including: what your intake concerns are, the goals that you have, the treatment approach of your therapist, and the amount of engagement you have in therapy. Sessions typically occur weekly or biweekly and we assess goals every 3 months and discuss progress to tailor your treatment.

+ Why am I feeling stuck in therapy?

Effective therapy requires vulnerability. It takes courage to share about your difficulties or pain with another person. Therefore, before any growth or change can happen, a meaningful connection and trusting relationship between you and your therapist must be established. This is imperative for effective therapy. This can take time. Sometimes you won’t have a “good fit” with a provider. That’s okay. Let us help you find a good fit with one of our providers or by guiding you with referrals outside our group. We mean it when we say collaborative mental health!

+ Who can do family therapy?

You can bring whoever you want to therapy. If you are a grown-up: bring your partner, children, parents, siblings, best friend, co-workers, your pet (if cute and cuddly). If you are a kid: bring a caregiver, a sibling, or a pet. But seriously, therapy is for YOU and one of the best ways we can support you is by wrapping around you + those you are close with. Work with your provider to determine how you may want to integrate family therapy as part of your treatment plan.
