Results may vary. Testimonials represent personal experiences.
Start with a free consultation. We'll talk through your goals, answer your questions, and decide together whether we're a good fit before booking a first full session.
A relaxed conversation about what brings you in, your history, and what you'd like to change. You'll leave with a clear sense of the approach and next steps.
Standard sessions run 45–50 minutes. Initial evaluations and some testing appointments are longer, and we'll always confirm the length when you book.
It depends on your goals. Focused, evidence-based work often runs 12–20 sessions; deeper or ongoing concerns may take longer. We review progress together regularly.
