At BeachCAT Family Counseling, Professional Corporation, we recognize that every client’s therapy journey is unique. How long you need to engage in therapy and how often you attend sessions will be influenced by many factors including:

1. Your schedule and life circumstances
2. Therapist availability
3. Ongoing life challenges
4. The nature of your specific challenges and how you address them

You and your therapist will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy and will work together to determine when you have met your goals and are ready for discharge.

Below, you will see how much a year of therapy would cost if you were to meet with your therapist for 52 sessions in a year (weekly, without skipping any weeks) at the current full rates at BeachCAT Family Counseling, Professional Corporation.
