How Long Does Teen Counseling Take?
The duration of counseling varies depending on the specific issues and goals of the teen. Some adolescents may see significant improvement in a few sessions, while others might benefit from longer-term therapy. We tailor our approach to fit your teen’s unique needs and pace.
