Erjing offers different therapy lengths:
Brief-term Therapy (3-6 sessions), Middle-term Therapy (12-24 sessions), and Long-Term Therapy.
What is brief-term Therapy?
Brief-term therapy is characterized by its focused and time-limited nature, often focusing on addressing immediate and specific problems and providing practical short-term solutions within a concise timeframe. Brief-term therapy with Erjing can take several forms: 1) the therapist and client might collaborate closely to identify the immediate challenge, develop strategies for coping or problem-solving, and work towards tangible outcomes; 2) the therapist might provide an assessment, recommendations, and/or referrals for further work, and 3) the client might utilize brief-term Therapy to gain a feel for therapy.
Brief-term therapy usually does not involve getting to the core of the challenges.
What is Middle-term Therapy?
Therapy sessions ranging from 12 to 24 typically fall into the category of middle-term therapy. This intermediate length allows for a more in-depth exploration and work on a specific issue. Some examples of this specific issue might include a single life transition, a single case of trauma, or relationship challenges.
What is Long-Term Therapy?
Long-term therapy involves an extended and ongoing therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist. Unlike brief or middle-term therapy, long-term therapy continues for an extended period, often spanning months to years. This form of therapy allows for a comprehensive exploration of deep-seated issues, patterns, and complexities in an individual's life. It also allows individuals to work through complex issues at their own pace. The therapeutic relationship becomes a supportive and transformative space for personal growth and lasting change.

“I was in a dark place that I no longer am. I honestly think that Erjing was a big part of me not giving up on myself. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am eternally thankful.”
"In therapy, she pushes me to jump into the uncertainty, but she also doesn’t overdo it. She has helped me tremendously on encountering fears that I would never think I am capable of encountering.
She gives me space and patience in therapy and she’s able to understand me well, wherever it is that I am coming from.
She understands there are no negative emotions, but there are emotions that are more difficult, which is a huge factor in recovery too, to feel whatever it is that you are feeling.
All in all, I wouldn’t be where I am now in recovery without her significant help! "
我和尔婧进行了一年半多的咨询，在这里我学到了很多从没见过的解决问题的技巧和方法，也解开了我很多年的困惑，原来我一直有思维强迫，现在我可以很好的和它相处，并不害怕它了。尔婧让我更相信循证治疗的必要性，对于强迫症最好的方法就是暴露疗法和接纳承诺疗法也希望更多的强迫患者能了解与学习，让勇于暴露成为我们的一种生活态度。
尔婧咨询师是一个有温情很体贴但同时又足够理性和聪明的咨询师，咨询进展中遇到困难时，她提出的建议都很专业很受用，她总是站在我的角度思考问题，在这里我没有遇到过尴尬和不适。对于我来说，我找了很久的咨询师，强迫又是很小众的病，要找到合适的疗法又要找到匹配的咨询师真的非常难，我认为遇到尔婧对我来说是人生中幸运的事情～
