therapy sessions

Counselor meeting times

Therapy sessions are scheduled meetings between a patient and a mental health professional—typically a psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor.

The phrase emphasizes the recurring, structured nature of treatment: She's been in therapy sessions for six months.

Sessions usually last about an hour and may occur weekly or as needed.

The term often appears in contexts discussing mental health treatment more broadly.
