The First Conversation

- Typically about 60-90 minutes
- To determine if psychotherapy is appropriate treatment
- To recommend a schedule of visits
- To discuss my office procedures

An initial consultation, which lasts 60-90 minutes, will generally give me enough information to determine if psychotherapy is appropriate treatment and what may be the best course.

I'll also recommend a schedule of visits - typically once a week or twice a week; review my office procedures; and set aside time to answer any immediate questions about appointments or therapy itself.
