Therapy FAQs
At A Better Day Psychiatry, we want you to be informed and empowered in understanding the therapy process. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about Therapy Denver.
How long should I expect to do therapy for?
You can expect the duration of therapy to vary based on individual circumstances. Factors such as the nature and severity of your mental health concerns, the progress made toward treatment goals, and the level of support available can influence the length of therapy. Some individuals choose to continue therapy even after resolving their initial concerns, finding value in ongoing support and gaining new insights to address life issues as they arise. The length of sessions may also vary depending on the treatment approach used, with methods like cognitive behavioral therapy typically consisting of a shorter course of treatment compared to psychodynamic therapy. Ultimately, the duration of therapy may range from a few weeks for short-term issues to a year or longer for long-term mental health concerns or other persistent challenges. Your provider can work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and provide guidance on the expected duration of therapy.
What if therapy isn’t working for me?
If you’re not seeing the progress you hoped for in therapy, it’s crucial to have an open conversation with your therapist.
