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.

Talking it over

A free 15-minute consultation is a place to ask about fit and practical arrangements. Onboarding happens only after you both agree to try working together.

Can I start less often and increase later?
Frequency can be discussed and adjusted over time.
How long are sessions?
Session length can be confirmed during the consultation.
