​Do you do online therapy?

• Yes, we'll meet online through a secure, confidential, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform.

  • You can learn more here: Online Therapy Tips

​

​

Can we meet in-person? ​​

• Yes, I have an office in the West Village (NYC).​​

​

​

How often will we meet?

• Therapy sessions are generally once a week.

  • During challenging times, we may meet more often.

  • As we prepare to end therapy, we may meet less often.  

​

​

How long will therapy last?

• That is largely up to you, your needs, and your goals.  My therapy style allows for us to focus on short-term and long-term issues as they arise in your life, and people often continue with me for several years.  

  • To use a car metaphor, you are in the driver's seat, while I act as your navigation/GPS - you can choose to slow down, speed up, change directions, or stop our journey at any time.

​

Can I use my insurance?

• I'm an out-of-network healthcare provider.

• If you have a PPO or POS health insurance plan, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits and get partially reimbursed for therapy charges (see below).

  • Typical out-of-network benefits will reimburse 50-80% of therapy charges, after any yearly deductible is met.

​

​

How do I find out if (or how much) I can get reimbursed?

• You'll need to contact your health insurance company (call the Member Services ​number listed on the back of your card or log in to their website), and ask them the following:

  • "Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy?"

  • "What is my deductible, and have I met it yet?"

  • "What is my coinsurance​?​" (​Coinsurance = % of the bill that will not be reimbursed after the deductible is met)

​

​

How much does therapy cost?

• My current fee for individual, weekly 50-minute therapy sessions is $250**.

​
 

** About my fees:
 

• When working with me, you are not only paying for our time together in a therapy session.  Your session fee also covers the work I do throughout the week to provide you with the quality of care you deserve, including: 

  • Email correspondence regarding administrative matters

  • Coordination and collaboration with your other healthcare providers, as appropriate

  • Brief phone calls in cases of mental health crisis

  • Research, educational courses, and professional training 

  • Consultation with industry experts

  • Record-keeping
     

•  For anyone who cannot afford my full fee, I reserve several reduced-fee spots in my schedule.  

  • As of Spring 2023, there is one spot left.
