Psychotherapy tends to be a longer and ongoing experience for many. A minimum of 12-24 sessions are suggested. Some folks participate in therapy for a few months, over a year or is a constant support they maintain throughout their life.
Frequency: Can take form weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. This often varies and adapts based on several factors: therapeutic goals, availability, funds/insurance etc.

Absolutely! We specialize in supporting 2S/LGBTQIA+ individuals and various relationship dynamics (monogamy, non-monogamy and polyamory) where you can expect a validating and affirming space to focus on your goals.
