Therapy appointments last either 50 minutes or 80 minutes, depending on what type of counseling we are doing. Each person and situation is different. I see most clients anywhere from 8-20 sessions, but how long we meet is always up to you. Specific timetables differ based on the size of the change you are looking for, how deep the hurt goes, your commitment to change, and the complexity of the issue.
