Frequently asked Questions
How much do you charge?
My fee for individual and couples therapy is $300 per session. Sessions are typically 53 minutes in length.
Do you accept insurance?
I am not in-network with any insurance companies. However, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits that will reimburse you for most of the cost of therapy. I can provide a superbill containing the information needed to submit claims to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement amounts vary depending on your specific plan, deductible, and out-of-network benefits.
I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify your coverage, reimbursement rates, and any applicable requirements before beginning treatment.
How long does therapy usually take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your concerns, goals, and individual circumstances. Some clients benefit from relatively brief, focused treatment, while others find longer-term therapy helpful for addressing more complex or ongoing challenges. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, although the frequency of appointments may change over time. We will work collaboratively to establish treatment goals, evaluate your progress, and determine the length and frequency of treatment that best meet your needs.
Do you offer in-person or telehealth appointments?
I provide therapy exclusively via secure telehealth to clients located in New York State. I do not offer in-person appointments.
What are your office hours?
I primarily see clients on Mondays and Wednesdays during the afternoon and evening. Appointment availability varies, so please contact me to inquire about current openings.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, are generally charged the full session fee.
What can I expect during the first session?
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying your goals for treatment. I will ask questions about your current concerns, relevant personal history, and previous experiences with therapy. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about my approach and determine whether we would be a good fit. Together, we can discuss how therapy might help and what our work could look like moving forward.
What professional organizations are you affiliated with?
I am a member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and have held leadership positions within its Society of Counseling Psychology (Division 17). I am also listed in the Psychology Today therapist directory.
