Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! I offer virtual telehealth sessions to adults anywhere in the state of New York.

I kindly ask for 24 hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling. I will do my best to reschedule our session for some time in the same week, but if we are not able to find a time, you will be charged for the late cancellation. The late cancellation fee is the session fee.
-
At this time, I do not accept insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits through your health insurance plan, you will likely receive some reimbursement for our sessions. I offer monthly superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many major insurance plans will reimburse between 30-100% of the session fee.
If you are unsure about your insurance benefits, you can call your plan and ask the following questions:
Do I have out-of-network benefits for mental health services?
If yes, do I have a deductible, how much is it, and how much of it has been met so far?
If they ask for the CPT code—90834.
If they ask for the zip code—10001.

The length of therapy is highly individualized. I work with most of my clients on a long-term basis, for one year or longer. Some clients prefer to focus on a specific issue with the goal to develop skills and insight in the shorter term. Other clients prefer to use therapy as an ongoing space for maintenance of health and self-exploration. Ultimately it is up to you and we can always discuss your goals and preference for the length of treatment.
