FAQs

Are our conversations private? 

Yes. Anything we discuss is private, is welcomed without judgment. Legally all medical professionals are required to involve emergency services if you expressed imminent plans to harm yourself or others. My sessions are a safe place to share anything you wish. 

What will therapy be like? 

If you are new to therapy, or new to my practice we will discuss your wishes and concerns and collaborate. Our discussions are private, and aim to support your present, past and future self. For some this may be a partnership in unearthing the unconscious influences and patterns at work in daily life. For others sessions may be the safest place to seek clarity, and repair with someone else. 

What are your rates? 

Rates are:

Individual sessions are $225 after our free consultation. 

Couple sessions are $325 after a free consultation. 

I provide superbills you may use to be reimbursed by your insurance company. 

A representative from the company should be able to inform you of their reimbursement rate. A portion of my practice is sliding scale based on need. 

Can we meet in person or virtually?

Both. I offer in office sessions in my Bedford NY office and virtual sessions in NY state, California and Connecticut. 

If a hybrid schedule works best we can build a schedule together.

Do you prescribe medication?

I don’t prescribe medications.  I have a network of colleagues to consult with if you wish. With your permission I can collaborate with a doctor to be sure you have well rounded care. 

Will you share content of our discussions with my partner or parents? 

In individual therapy, when there is no expressed intent to harm one’s self or others I will not share information with your partners or parents. In the event you use insurance reimbursement they may require you share your diagnosis code, and some small amount of information with them. This is your choice to provide them if you wish. 

What is your cancellation policy? 

I have a 24 hour cancelation policy. Cancellations without properly notice will result in a full session fee. In the event of an emergency we can discuss waiving the fee. 

Is virtual therapy effective? 

I have provided virtual therapy services since 2019. My clients have benefited from the convenience of therapy from their homes, offices and travel destinations. Because I find commitment to therapy to be an indicator of positive outcome virtual sessions enable those with busy schedules or barriers to attending in person to thrive. For couples it’s often a challenge to schedule so meeting when you are already at home together may be ideal.
