Ideally, weekly sessions are encouraged, especially at the beginning of therapy and while building a trusting relationship with your therapist. This is essential for the best outcome. Large gaps in treatment, particularly for children and adolescents, are difficult and do not contribute to a sense of trust and safety. If you need to miss sessions or want to have less than the suggested weekly sessions, please discuss this with your therapist to find the best solution.
The length of treatment is determined by you and your therapist, depending on your current needs. For some clients, the challenges are minimal, and few appointments are required. For others with a long history of trauma or unresolved pain, treatment may take longer. Some clients who are currently stable may want to come back as they face new challenges or just need a booster. This is always an option available to you. You are encouraged to share your expectations and questions regarding treatment length with your therapist.
