psychotherapy sessions
Mental health meetings
Psychotherapy sessions are scheduled meetings between a patient and a mental health professional—psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor—for talk-based treatment of emotional or psychological problems.
Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes and recur weekly or at other intervals.
