Are sessions virtual or in-person?

All sessions are conducted virtually via SimplePractice and are HIPAA compliant. Please note that I am licensed to practice only in New York, and can only meet with patients who are currently located within the NY area at the time of their appointment.

How long are sessions? How much do they cost?

Each therapy session is typically 45 minutes in length, with intake sessions lasting 60 minutes. The initial intake appointment costs $250, and the proceeding sessions are $200. If cost is a factor inhibiting you from accessing therapy, I have a limited number of sliding scale spots. Contact me for more information.

Do you take insurance?

Currently, I do not accept direct insurance payments as this is a private practice. However, I can provide you with a superbill which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurer to understand what your out-of-network mental health benefits cover.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments must be canceled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged for the session. This policy helps us manage our appointment schedule and offer timely sessions to all clients. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Why out of network?

Privacy Protection: Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis, which becomes part of your permanent medical record. Many clients find this invasive. I only provide diagnoses if requested, and this information remains confidential and not shared with medical networks.

Cost Efficiency: High-deductible insurance plans often result in clients paying thousands out-of-pocket before receiving coverage. My private-pay model allows you to access more affordable, high-quality sessions without the financial burden of meeting high deductibles.

Flexible Care: Insurance often restricts treatment options and session types, making it difficult to tailor therapy to your unique needs. I customize your care without these limitations, ensuring your treatment is personalized and your privacy is maintained.

Enhanced Quality: In-network therapists frequently manage large caseloads and extensive paperwork, which can reduce the time and attention given to each client. I can dedicate more time to each case and continuously update their skills through ongoing training, ensuring a higher level of care.
