Session Cadence

5

Weekly therapy is normally more effective than biweekly when we are just getting started. People typically experience the benefits of therapy more efficiently and faster than biweeky. As such, I highly recommend that all new clients do at least 6 weeks of weekly therapy before moving to a biweekly cadence.

With that said, I also understand that therapy is expensive, and weekly therapy at the full rate may be out of your budget. To help mitigate some of the burden, I regularly offer a reduced rate for clients seeking weekly care.Please indicate your need in your inquiry form!
