Basic Therapeutic Frame

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

• I don’t take 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 weekly, and I don’t offer sessions every other week or monthly, especially in the beginning stages of therapy.

• My cancellation policy is that you may make three cancellations per calendar year without incurring a fee; any subsequent cancellations will incur a full session fee.

• I’m licensed in NYS and NJ and currently offer telehealth only. 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. Please feel free to 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 information about you, your payment method, and related details, 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 will meet at our scheduled time using the video link sent to you.
