​Typical therapy appointments last an industry-standard 45 minutes, though some clients & patients prefer longer sessions when it’s clinically indicated. Length of treatment varies by individual and by goal, but most evidence based treatments are validated on a 12 to 14 session model. Some individuals prefer to have the option of more time, others find that their goals are achieved in a shorter timeframe. Therapists typically check-in on goals and progress regularly, to re-evaluate goals and consider whether they have been appropriately met.
