Insurance.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist in New York State, my services are insurance-reimbursable via your out-of-network benefit.  I can help you navigate your insurance company to ensure you'll understand how much you will be reimbursed but the most important questions to ask your health insurance company are:

     *  What is my out-of-network mental health benefit?
     *  Is there a deductible and if so, how much is it and have I met it yet?
     *  What percent will my insurance pay once my deductible is met?
     *  Are there a certain number of visits I'm allowed per calendar year?
     *  Do I need an authorization number to see an out-of-network clinician? 

Insurance & Payment

You have the option of making payment by cash, check or credit card at the end of each session.  

​I will provide an invoice at the end
of the month which you can submit to your health insurance company for reimbursement.  See above for any insurance-related questions
you may have. 

Cancellation

If you need to change or cancel
your appointment, please provide
at least 48 hours notification or
​you will be charged for the missed session—mind you, that is only
if we cannot find a time to reschedule later that week (not withstanding emergencies).

FAQs 

What is a therapy session like?
​Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific needs. Sessions last 45-60 minutes. You can expect sessions to be an involving experience of discovery, questioning, and clarification—a process of seeking and finding that builds new skills and abilities.

Is therapy confidential? 
Yes, in general, the law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a psychotherapist. Information is not disclosed without written permission. However, there are number of exceptions to this rule. Exceptions include:
  • Suspected child abuse or dependant adult or elder abuse. A therapist is required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately. 
  • If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another. The therapist must notify the police and inform the intended victim. 
  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself. The therapist will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, further measures may be taken without their permission in order to ensure their safety.
