What to expect in Individual Therapy
Your individual therapy will begin with an intake appointment with your therapist. Your therapist will ask questions to gain an understanding of your life experiences, your worldview, strengths, concerns, needs, and relationship dynamics.
After gathering this information, they will work together with you to decide which areas you would like to work on in therapy. For many clients, individual therapy sessions are scheduled on a weekly or biweekly basis for 45-60 minutes. The length of treatment varies significantly, depending on the symptoms and goals of the client.
