What can I expect from a psychotherapy session?

Structure of Sessions

  • Sessions typically last 50 minutes.
  • They usually occur once a week, but may be more frequent.
  • The therapy can last from a few months to several years, depending on individual needs.


This therapy is designed to foster deep personal insight and promote long-term emotional growth.

Process of Therapy

  • Our time will be your time. You can talk about what matters most to you — thoughts, feelings, patterns, relationships, and experiences.
  • You will discuss whatever is on your mind, allowing for free expression.
  • I  will help you explore your past experiences to help make connections you may currently be unaware of.

Considerations

  • The process can be emotionally challenging, as it may involve confronting painful memories.
  • Building trust with your therapist is essential for effective treatment. I


Therapy isn’t always easy — growth often involves exploring difficult memories and patterns — but it can be deeply rewarding and empowering.
