My visits are always 30 minutes, only about 10 of which are spent on meds. He doesn't traditionally do therapy but we do cover some ground during the other 20 minutes. I once had a pdoc who did do therapy and our sessions were 60 minutes. I miss that, but at least I have some therapy. I haven't been able to find a therapist locally who takes Medicare, which is my only insurance.
