How long is a typical counseling session?

Most sessions are between 45-55 minutes, depending on your needs. This allows time for us to understand your concerns and work through issues at a comfortable pace.

Can I get counseling for relationship or family issues?

Absolutely. We offer individual, couples, and family counseling. Working together, we can help you strengthen communication, understand one another’s perspectives, and find common ground.

How often will I need to come in?

Frequency varies based on your goals and availability. Some people find weekly sessions beneficial, while others prefer bi-weekly or monthly check-ins. We’ll work with you to find what feels right.
