Session Types
Individual, couples, and family therapy sessions are typically scheduled for a 45-minute time period. A longer session time is recommended for complex situations such as crisis intervention, or clearing trauma. If you request a longer session, the hourly rate will be adjusted accordingly. Please check with ARI regarding your interest in groups for addiction recovery, premarital, or anger management skills. Consulting, presentations for seminars and events, and executive coaching are also available.
