How Long Should Therapy Last?
VAUGHAN, Ontario - The therapeutic orientation of the therapist will likely determine the length of therapy. Some orientations such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are shorter in term, while humanistic and psychodynamic models are typically longer. Many academics argue that psychodynamic and humanistic models can take years.
Empirical evidence suggests that recent problems may not need extended/long treatment, while complex/severe issues may take more time. Some clients resolve their problems and choose to stop treatment once they see improvement in their symptoms. Other patients choose to work on other issues when their initial goals have been met.

Choosing a Therapist - Is Religion Important? Part #3
Please note that there is a difference between religious based counselling and therapy based counselling. In religious-based counselling, your counsellor will provide counselling based on faith-based expertise. They may draw on religious texts and teachings to help you reflect on your issues and concerns. Prayer is usually an important part of faith-based-counselling.
A trained counselling therapist will receive training in working with individuals of different religious/spiritual beliefs. This is an important element of our training. We are taught to adjust our theories and techniques accordingly. Our goal is to create an environment that is positive, welcoming, non-judgmental, and non-discriminatory. Although we don’t provide faith-based counselling, we can help you by providing research supported therapeutic care.
For more information please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to explain how we can help.
