How to Navigate the Termination Session with a Therapy Client

Here I walk you through what I do before and during the termination session in private practice with a therapy client! Every therapy client is different, so I generalize quite a bit here. And! Therapists conduct the termination session a bit different based on their training, therapy modality, client's pressenting concerns, geographical location, supervision status, board requirements, and work setting. Therefore, this is not the "only" or "correct" way to do an termination session, this is simply what works for me in private practice. In more depth, we'll chat about when to discuss termination, how to go about termination, and the ways in which clients may need termination sooner than anticipated. *Disclaimer: As a reminder, this is not intended to be a substitute for supervision, consultation, or professional advice.
