FAQ, Insurance & Fees

Answers to frequently asked questions about therapy sessions, fees, and what to expect.

What should I expect at my first session?

Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes. Couples sessions may run 60–75 minutes depending on your needs. We’ll discuss the best format for you during our initial consultation.
