How can I schedule my therapy appointment with Stangler Counseling Services?

Call/Text Tara of Stangler Counseling Services at 715-498-9863 or email Tara at info@stanglercounseling.com to schedule your therapy appointment.

How often are my therapy sessions?

Stangler Counseling Services recommends that we initially schedule your therapy appointments once per week. As your therapy sessions progress, your Licensed Professional Counselor will reassess if you need to increase or decrease sessions per week.

How many therapy sessions do I need?

Initial intake sessions last 50 minutes because there is some information I need to gather from you in order to make our time together the most productive going forward. We will be using this time to get to know each other, set goals for therapy, and address any questions or concerns you may have about therapy. Follow-up sessions are typically 50 minutes for individual therapy, but can be extended if needed. Couples Therapy sessions can be 60 minutes or 90 minutes, depending on your needs.  

Can I bring someone with me?

Individual therapy is usually undertaken alone. If your child is coming in to therapy, depending on their age, I will ask that you as their parent be in the initial session for the information gathering needed. After that session, I ask that you let me build that relationship with your child one-on-one so that they feel comfortable enough to discuss things that are bothering them.

Can I see you monthly, bimonthly, or on an ad hoc basis instead of weekly?

In therapy, the best work can be done when we see each other regularly. Otherwise, we are just playing catch up during each session, instead of making progress.

Can I see you more than once a week?

Yes! Stangler Counseling Services’ Licensed Professional Counselor, Tara, can see therapy patients more than once per week.
