How do I begin? 

 

Starting therapy, especially for the first time, can feel overwhelming. 

If you'd like, send me an email to arrange a free 15-minute consultation via ZOOM or phone call.

 

This brief conversation allows us to discuss your concerns and assess our compatibility in terms of therapeutic approach and personality.

 

The goal is to find the right fit for you.

 

If it turns out our partnership isn’t the best match, I’m happy to refer you to someone who may better meet your needs.

 

​

How much will it cost?

​

• In-Network Therapy:

  • I am currently in-network with Aetna and Cigna. I accept Out-of-Network benefits and Confide Enhanced EAP.

  • Individual sessions may be fully covered or require a copay, typically between $15-$50 per session. It is a good idea to check prior to starting weekly if you have a deductible to meet before insurance starts covering sessions. 

• Out-of-Network Therapy:

  • $180 per individual therapy session (50 minutes)

  • $220 per couples counseling session (50 minutes) 

  • Depending on your insurance plan, you may be reimbursed 40-80% of the fee.

  • Out-of-Network and private pay patients may pay per session or through a monthly "Superbill" for their convenience. 

• Life Coaching (Available to English-Speakers Worldwide):

  • $100 for 45 minutes.

  • Not covered by insurance. 

• I accept Zelle Quick Pay and most major credit cards. 

• Private payment offers possibility for sliding scale rates with increased confidentiality. 

​

Sliding Scale Availability

​

• To support individuals facing financial challenges, I offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions each week. These are available to those in service-oriented roles (such as military, education, or healthcare) or individuals experiencing significant economic hardship.

• If you’re interested in a sliding scale session, let’s have a consultation regarding your circumstances to figure out the best course of action.​

​​

How often will we meet? 

 

Weekly sessions provide a consistent opportunity for growth and reflection. Biweekly sessions are available following approximately 6 months of consistent weekly therapy or if relevant to individual needs. Consistency in sessions cultivates a safe space that builds momentum on your journey, establishing a steady rhythm that helps to:

• Unpack challenges.

• Celebrate progress.

• Enhance self-awareness.

• Reinforce positive changes.

• Address issues as they arise.

• Ensure you receive consistent support. 

 

What if I can’t attend a session? 

​

• Cancellation & Rescheduling:

  • Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session.

  • Cancellations made within 24 hours will incur a $75 cancellation fee.

  • This policy ensures commitment to your therapy and growth.

  • Private payment may be rendered in the form of Zelle Quickpay and via credit card.

  • Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

 

Will our sessions be kept entirely confidential? 

 

Our sessions are confidential, with the following exceptions:

• If you disclose plans to harm yourself, I am required to contact emergency services (911).

• If you disclose plans to harm others, I must report this to emergency services (911).

• As required by New York Social Services Law, I am obligated to report any suspicion of abuse or neglect involving children or vulnerable individuals.

• All services delivered with the highest standards of ethical practice and HIPAA compliance and in accordance with New York State Office of Mental Health and federal regulations.
