How long does a counseling session last/ How often do I need to attend?
A counseling appointment usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours. If a family is traveling a long distance, then we may schedule a three to four hour appointment. The more persons present the longer it takes so that everyone can be heard. Our main goal is to establish a healthy and helpful relationship with each individual. Because this is a process, we want to join the person on their journey. Our first meeting is lengthy in time, especially for those who do drive long distances to meet with us. We believe that people want answers to their questions now, not over a long period of time. We will attempt to give you what you need in the initial meeting. However, it will take either participating in our weekly support group, or ongoing counsel with us to allow you time to process all the information received and to experience the "healing process".
