Frequently Asked Questions

  • I provide online therapy for clients located in New York.

  • Online therapy is pretty straightforward and convenient. You will receive the link to our meeting prior to our appointment. In order to have the best telehealth experience you will need:

    - secure, working computer or mobile device with audio & video capabilities

    - strong, secure internet connection (not free public wi-fi)

    - private, comfortable, distraction-free location

    - working telephone nearby in case we encounter any tech issues

  • Not at this time. All sessions are done online through a safe and secure telehealth video platform.

  • In the beginning of the session, I’ll spend a few minutes going over any tech stuff that could come up and how to navigate it and reviewing all of the intake documents you filled out prior to our session. You can think of the first session as a getting to know each other conversation. Some questions that I like to ask during a first session include:

    Have you gone to therapy before? How did that go?

    What goals would you like to reach by going to therapy?

    What do I need to know about you to understand your current challenges?

    The most important part of a first session is that you see if you feel I’m a good fit for you. If you feel supported, seen, and at-ease with me, we can discuss if you’d like to meet again.

  • The total duration of therapy varies from client to client. Some of my clients find 8-12 weeks to be enough to gain insight into their challenges. While other clients feel more supported by longer term therapy. We will work together to find the length of time that works for you.

  • Individual Therapy: $175 (50 minutes)

    Payment will be accepted the day of service before or at the beginning of your therapy session. A secure and encrypted payment system will be used for your credit card or debt card payment.

  • I utilize Headway for insurance billing and am an in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Empire BCBS, Oscar Health, Optum and United Healthcare.

  • Many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits where insurance may reimburse you for a portion of the session. I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits. You will want to reach out to your insurance company to find out what benefits you have and how to submit a claim.

  • 24 hours’ notice is requested to change or cancel a session. This is because your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you and I am not likely to be able to fill the slot with notice that is too short. Appointments that are canceled or changed without 24 hours’ notice will be charged $75. Your card on file will be charged on the day we were scheduled to meet. If an intake appointment is missed without appropriate notice, that appointment will not be rescheduled.
