The<br \/> following are behavioral changes that may indicate it\u2019s time to seek professional help: a recent drop in<br \/> grades, withdraws from peers and socializing, exhibits poor concentration or inability to focus, doesn\u2019t want<br \/> to participate in extra-curricular activities or sports, seems more aggressive or violent, has sad and hopeless<br \/> feelings that do not go away, and extreme or intense emotions, overreacting.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>HOW LONG IS A THERAPY SESSION?<\/strong><br \/> Sessions are typically 55 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO COME TO THERAPY?<\/strong><br \/> This depends on your individual situation.
