What can I expect during my first counseling session?

Your first counseling session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to share what brings you to counseling. We’ll talk about your concerns, goals, background, and any questions you may have about the counseling process. This session is also a time for you to decide if counseling feels like a good fit for you. There is no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with, and the session moves at a pace that feels right for you.

How long does a counseling session last?

Most counseling sessions last about 50 minutes. This allows enough time to explore your concerns, develop coping strategies, and reflect on progress while maintaining a consistent and focused structure.

How often should I attend counseling sessions?

The frequency of counseling sessions varies depending on your needs and goals. Many clients begin with weekly sessions, especially at the start of counseling, to build momentum and support. Over time, sessions may become less frequent as progress is made. We will work together to determine a schedule that feels supportive and effective for you.
