While every treatment is individualized and designed in collaboration with our clients, clients typically meet with a therapist once per week for 10 to 20 weeks. A major goal of CBT is to teach our clients how to become their own therapists, eventually taking responsibility for designing interventions and expanding upon treatment gains.
