Most client sessions are 55 minutes. In some cases, such as family and couple sessions, the therapist and client may agree to 1.5 hour sessions.
As the therapeutic process depends on various factors (such as your current circumstances, goals, the degree of symptoms, etc), it is difficult for us to provide an exact amount of time it will take to meet your goals. What we can offer is our commitment to work with you, to make your process as helpful as it can be, in the time that you have.
Our dedicated inquiry team is here to help you find the best therapist for you. You may schedule a call, call us at +82-2-749-7915, or email us at [email protected], to set up your initial appointment.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of telehealth therapy using online video sessions with a variety of mental health concerns (e.g., depression, anxiety, and other disorders). As a result of COVID-19, telehealth sessions have not only become common place, but are preferable for many clients. Bottom line, online video sessions are safe, effective, and comparable in outcomes to face-to-face services.
