The goal of the first one or two sessions is to gather information in order to understand your concerns and to determine what approach would be most useful to you. A basic understanding is usually achieved by the end of the first session; however, it is sometimes necessary to continue with this process over additional sessions. Psychotherapy involves talking about whatever is on your mind or concerning you. As a psychologist, I will listen carefully, look for patterns in your thinking and behavior, point out alternative interpretations of events or strategies for problem solving, and help you to learn to live with difficult emotions.
Most clients will attend one psychotherapy visit per week, but the frequency varies depending upon your individual needs and preference. The average therapy client attends around 12 sessions.
