Progress within treatment is constantly evaluated and treatment plans can be modified every 3-6 months. While the length of time in treatment can vary and are based upon several factors, HW&S offers weekly to bi-weekly individual psycho-therapy sessions for up to 60 minutes per session.

Do you take insurance?
