First, congratulations on taking the first step towards health!

Generally speaking, many people gain a sense of relief, feel less alone and gain new perspectives about themselves and others in their lives through therapy. There may be periods of time when symptoms seem to temporarily worsen when difficult events from the past or present are discussed. While there are no guarantees about psychotherapy results, many individuals and couples find at the conclusion of psychotherapy that they have more self-acceptance, better coping skills and have overcome the concerns for which they sought therapy.

The length of treatment and the timing of the eventual termination of the therapeutic relationship depend on the specifics of your treatment plan and the progress we achieve. However, clients may terminate treatment at any point and goals and progress are discussed throughout the course of therapy in order to re-assess and adjust the process as necessary.
