How long are therapy sessions?

How long are therapy sessions?

When starting counseling in Federal Way, we typically go for 55 minutes. This allows the counselor an opportunity to get to know the situation and help you feel more relaxed. This timeframe is designed for your comfort and allows you to talk freely and build a rapport with your counselor.

However, in working with couples and some individuals, we sometimes find that longer sessions can be helpful (1.5-2 hours) to really dive into the places you are getting stuck in a productive way. You may also find that a shorter session is best. However, if you know that you would like to schedule an hour and a half for a session, you can do so by giving us a call or by sending us an email.

Customizing your sessions to meet your needs is very important to us.  

In some cases, if we are working with young children, we will do abbreviated 40-minute sessions, which tend to work well and hold their attention.
