How Often to Meet in Therapy
Session frequency is a practical question with real effects on the work. Here is how to think about it.
Common arrangements
Many people meet weekly. Some meet more often, which is common in psychoanalytic work, and some meet less often. Frequency can change over time as needs and circumstances change.
Why consistency helps
Regular sessions help the conversation build from week to week. Themes become easier to follow, and there is less time spent catching up.
Fitting real life
Your schedule, budget, and energy all matter. Rebecca's practice is private pay, and a 24-hour cancellation policy applies. Those details are part of deciding what frequency makes sense.
