Typical Length of Treatment

Comprehensive Two-Step Treatment Plan
‍
Your path to meaningful change begins with a thorough evaluation. This ensures we understand your unique situation and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
●     During these sessions, we’ll explore your concerns, medical and psychological history, and personal goals for therapy.
●     The information gathered will help us provide personalized recommendations for your treatment, which we then collaborate to finalize based on your preferences.

Personalized Treatment Plan
‍
Based on the initial evaluation, we’ll recommend proven CBT approaches for efficient results and lasting change:
●     Frequency: Once or twice weekly, depending on your needs and availability.
●     Length of Treatment:
○     CBT for Insomnia is typically completed in 6 to 8 sessions.
○     Customized CBT care for other specialties is typically 20 to 40 sessions.
○     Your treatment length may vary based on your individual progress and the challenges you wish to address.
This range provides enough time to identify patterns, develop and practice new management strategies, and create lasting change.

What Influences Treatment Duration?
‍
Treatment length is not one-size-fits-all. A variety of factors shape your therapy journey:
‍
●     Treatment Goals: Clear and specific goals may require fewer sessions, while more complex problems might take longer.
●     Progress and Engagement: Actively participating in therapy and practicing new skills between sessions can accelerate progress.
●     New Goals orAdjustments: As you make progress towards your goals, you may identify new challenges or patterns to address, which could extend your treatment as we continue building on your successes.

Ongoing Support and Flexibility
‍ 
Therapy is a collaborative process, and your progress will be regularly evaluated to ensure we are on the right track. We will work together to decide:
‍
●     When to reduce the frequency of sessions as you begin to meet your goals.
●     Whether you would benefit from maintenance sessions or occasional check-ins to sustain your progress.
