  • Unfortunately, there is no universal answer to this question. In general, Mindy and Josh have observed that clients find it useful to plan on an initial average of 4 to 6 sessions. After this, clients usually have a sense of what further therapy they need, if any. Some stop counseling at this point. Others report they are “just getting started.” What’s important is that you feel the sessions are needed, useful, and productive for you in promoting the mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual health you are seeking.

  • Some clients prefer to schedule a counseling intensive which consists of several sessions back to back (usually) over a period of two days. The intensive schedule (for individuals or couples) begins at 10am and concludes at 3pm with a 1 hour break for lunch at 12pm. Fridays and Saturdays are often convenient times for this work. If you are interested in scheduling an intensive, please contact Josh and Mindy via this website.
