Why do we reduce rates for package purchases?  Because the more committed our clients our to do the work, the easier it is to get the work done.  For counselors, that's worth lowering our rates.  It's also difficult to measure results with just one or two sessions of work.  Similar to how going to the gym once or twice isn't going to get you instant results.  Committing to 4+ session of counseling ensures there's enough time and work to begin experiencing positive change and putting more value into the process.  Package pricing is available only to first time clients.
