How long do people usually stay in therapy? Is just a few sessions enough?

Most people stay in therapy for several months, though the length of time is entirely up to you. You're not signing a contract with us, and you can stop therapy at any time. That said, it’s common for clients to discover that meaningful, lasting change often takes more time than initially expected—and that more than a few sessions are needed to really address deeper concerns.

Therapy is a process, and people and relationships are complex. Our therapists work very hard in sessions to help you get the most out of your time and to move you through the process efficiently, but in most cases, real progress takes a little while.

If you’re curious about what you might gain from a longer course of therapy, you might find our blog post on why therapy isn’t a quick fix insightful.

We’re happy to talk more about what therapy might look like for you. Reach out to us to learn more about starting therapy in Seattle or online throughout Washington.
