Most clients begin therapy with either weekly or every-other-week appointments. In our experience, consistent sessions create the momentum, continuity, and emotional safety needed for therapy to be truly effective. Meeting too infrequently at the beginning can make it harder to build progress and maintain focus between sessions.
Because of that, we typically ask new clients to reserve an ongoing weekly or bi-weekly time slot when starting with one of our therapists. This also helps ensure that you have a consistent place in your therapist’s schedule, since many appointment times are limited.
As therapy progresses, some people choose to shift into a more flexible rhythm and schedule sessions on an as-needed basis. At that stage, you may be able to book appointments through our online calendar depending on your therapist’s availability and what feels clinically appropriate for your situation.
There’s no contract requiring you to stay in therapy for a certain amount of time. You’re always free to stop whenever you choose. The goal of starting with regular appointments is simply to give the process the best chance of helping.
If you’re considering individual counseling, couples therapy, or another service, our intake coordinator can help you explore scheduling options and what might fit best for your needs.
