Psychotherapy

Sessions typically last between 45 and 55 minutes.  The first few sessions will involve a comprehensive evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, we will be able to offer you some initial impressions of what our work might include. At that point, we will discuss your treatment goals and create a treatment plan.
