How often should I come in for therapy?
The first and second sessions are very important to receive the history and understanding the presenting problem. The few first sessions are also important for building a relationship between you and the therapist.
We usually suggest a commitment of 6 -8 sessions usually once a week. You and your therapist can assess after the 8th session regarding continuation or termination of therapy. Sessions may also be changed from weekly to biweekly and at a later time to monthly sessions or as needed basis if appropriate.
How long is each session?
The length of each session is usually 50 minutes, but in some cases it can be increased to 80 minutes or 100 minutes per session. (Please take note that our fees are based on 50 minutes sessions).
What is the Fee for therapy?
The full fee for our therapists is $120 per session. We also offer sliding scale for individuals and families that need support. The sliding scale fee is determined by your therapist based on your family income.
How do I know whether to get therapy for myself, my child, my relationship, or my family?
That depends largely on what the purpose of the therapy is and what issues are being presented. In the first assessment session with your therapist you can discuss the entire alternative and choose the best course of therapy for you at this time.
