I have 90 minute sessions. They started as one hour but we kept going over so they finally became a regular 90 minutes. I feel one hour is way too short for me, I'm just coming out of my self and discussing important things at one hour.
Since I may be looking for a new T in the near future, can I ask up front that this is what I need for time? If they say no, I dont think I would want to see that therapist. How many of you go over an hour one a week?

I think it's very fair to ask for 90 minutes!

we kept going over too, so my T suggested 1hr 20mins since that's where our session always naturally came to a close at. It's a good amount of time for me.

Mine is typically right around an hour...though in the past several weeks I have had to call and get another appointment because things have been really rough lately. She's VERY professional...almost TOO professional sometimes. I wish I had an hour and a half...that would be great.
My T has a little form that I take up to the receptionist...they have check boxes for the various services they have "Psychotherapy" and they have 30 min, 45 min, and 60 min. Then there's a "Crisis add-on" that is 30 min. and a bunch of other stuff. |

I think you are within your rights to ask for 90 mins.
My sessions are approx 80mins, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter depending on how things go. |

There's no harm in asking if that's what you need. My sessions were 50mins once a week.

We did 2 hours with a ten or fifteen minute break in the middle, worked well and was nice to have a little reflective time midway.

My T and I are scheduled for an hour, but we almost always go over because I'm the last appointment of the day. My appointments average about 1 hour, 20 minutes.

I currently meet for 45 minutes, it might be nice to meet for longer but I don't think that she has the time to do so.
