Question 1

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

My practice is out of network, however superbills are provided upon request.  Be sure to call your insurance provider to see if they will provide reimbursement for out of network mental health services.

Question 2

Do you offer a sliding scale?

Accepted Answer

I keep a certain amount of sessions available for sliding scale, based on need and/or lack of insurance coverage. In those cases, it is my policy to reassess those rates every 12 months. At this time, there is a waiting list for sliding scale.

Question 3

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is an important part of psychotherapy. In order to maintain consistency for everyone I work with, I ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice if you need to miss a session. If you cancel with less than the agreed upon notice, you will be responsible for the full fee of the session.  To avoid cancellation fees, reschedule your session within the same week.

Question 4

How do I pay you?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due at the close of each session.  For ease and convenience, payment is made automatically via the Patient Portal using a credit card or HSA card.

Question 5

Do you see clients virtually or in person?

Accepted Answer

I see clients virtually AND in person at my bright and comfortable office in Dumbo (F at York Street).  While teletherapy has made this work much more convenient and accessible for people, in person sessions are still optimal.  That being said, we’re going for consistency too, so I'm flexible.

Question 6

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Our first session will always be a little longer (75 minutes/Individuals & 90 minutes/Couples) because I use this first session to gather lots of information about you, and address any of your concerns about therapy.  After that, sessions are 50 minutes.  You can, however, always book an extended session at any time if you need to.

Question 7

How long will I need to be in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, that is an impossible question to answer.  Every person is so different, and every situation is unique in its own way.  My job is to get you out of my office as soon as possible, but no sooner than you feel ready to  move on on your own.  Upon request I can provide with you a Good Faith Estimate, in accordance with the ‘No Surprises Act’.

Question 8

Are you oriented toward any religion in your work?

Accepted Answer

There is no religious orientation in my work as a therapist.   That being said, I will always do my best to be respectful and understanding of your cultural beliefs and practices.  I welcome clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities and genders.
