Basic Therapeutic Frame

• My fee is $250 for a 50-minute individual session.

• I don’t accept insurance. If you have out-of-network benefits from your insurance coverage, I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

• I offer a limited sliding scale if we decide we are a good fit and you can’t afford my full fee.

• You can use your HSA, if you have one, to pay for our sessions.

• I see patients at least once a week. I don’t offer sessions every other week or monthly sessions.

• My cancellation policy is that you will have three cancellations without being charged a fee each calendar year, and any cancellation after the three cancellations will be charged a full session fee.

• I’m licensed in NYS and NJ, and offer telehealth only now. You’ll be responsible for being in a private, safe space for our sessions.

• I don’t offer couples therapy.

Specific Steps to Get Onboard

1. Book a consultation. We’ll have a 15-minute phone call. I’ll explore your expectations and goals in therapy and briefly discuss how I can help you. This is a short introductory conversation, different from therapy. Together, we’ll determine whether we want to move forward.

2. If we do, we’ll schedule a time to meet. In the meantime, my office will send you paperwork to gather basic info about you, payment method, etc., and you’ll receive detailed information about how we’ll work together.

3. You’ll go over the paperwork before our first session and email me if you have any questions.

4. We’ll see each other at our scheduled time via the video link sent to you.
