If you are participating in psychological treatment, a session with a psychologist typically lasts about 50 minutes. Session length may vary depending on the individual psychologist, your needs, and the kind of activities being done. During assessment and treatment, the psychologist works to help you better understand your thoughts, emotional experience, and behaviors, and to find healthy solutions to problems.

Psychological treatment may take place over a relatively short period of time, or over an extended period of time, depending upon your individual needs and preferences.
