Duration of Therapy
How long you wish to continue therapy is a personal choice that depends on your treatment goals. Some clients benefit from only a few sessions; others find a longer term relationship better suits their needs.
Some factors that can affect the length of treatment include:
how long your symptoms have persisted;
what kinds of coping patterns you have adopted;
your level of insight and readiness for change; and
the strength of your support system outside of therapy.
Therapy is unlike other forms of healthcare in that the relationship between you and your therapist is a key component to your healing. Like any relationship, the therapeutic relationship takes time to build. You may not feel ready to talk about certain things with me until I have earned your trust. This may take a number of sessions. Especially for those with past relationship wounds, it is natural for trust to build slowly. I encourage you to invest the time so that you can see the benefits of healing that come from an established relationship.
Concluding Treatment
We will continue to focus on your mental health symptoms and treatment goals until they are stabilized and resolved. You may develop additional goals as our work progresses. This is a collaborative process; you and I will check in regularly on your clinical progress.
When you find yourself unsure of what you want to work on in therapy and notice that you can tolerate the level of distress you typically face in your day-to-day life with greater ease, this may be a sign that you are ready to reduce the frequency of your sessions or end services. If a new issue comes up, you are welcome to reach out again.
