Rates and Insurance
Wondering if
we’re the right fit?
Finding the right therapist can make all the difference. The most important thing to look for is someone you feel comfortable with. I offer a free initial 20 minute preliminary phone consultation so that we can get to know one another better. During this time you can share what’s bringing you to therapy, and you can ask me any questions you may have. If for any reason we aren’t a good fit, I will do my best to refer you to someone who can meet your needs. I look forward to meeting you.

Please contact me to discuss rates.
Insurance
I am not in-network with any insurance companies. If you have out-of-network mental health or behavioral health benefits, you may be eligible for full or partial reimbursement through your insurance company. I can provide you with all of the paperwork and documentation necessary for you to submit for reimbursement. At the bottom of this page are a list of guiding questions to help you speak to your insurance provider to find out your specific benefits.
I hold the Psychotherapy "R" Privilege in New York, an advanced psychotherapy designation I earned through extensive supervised clinical experience beyond the requirements for LCSW licensure. Although New York no longer issues new R privileges, clinicians who previously earned the designation retain it to signify their advanced psychotherapy experience and training.(http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/sw/lcswprivilege.htm).
Payment
I accept all major credit cards as forms of payment. Payment is due at the time of service. Clients may securely keep a credit card on file in the client portal so payment can be processed after each session.
Cancellation Policy
I understand that things come up and emergencies happen. I will always try to reschedule appointments whenever possible. If you are unable to attend a session, please cancel at least 24 hours beforehand to avoid being charged for the full rate of the session.
Questions
Please contact me for any additional questions you may have. I look forward to speaking with you.
Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider
When you know the right questions to ask, talking to your insurance provider about your benefits is much less intimidating. Feel free to use the list of questions below as a guide to speak to your insurance provider so you can make the right decision for you.
Call the number on your insurance card and ask:
-What is my annual deductible?
-How much of my deductible have I already met for the current year?
-How many therapy sessions are covered per calendar year?
-Do my therapy sessions need to be pre-authorized?
-Are tele-health (video) therapy sessions covered?
-What percentage am I reimbursed for routine behavioral health care out-of-network?
-How do I file a claim to submit for reimbursement?
These questions will help you determine the amount you have to spend to meet your deductible, and how close you are to that number. You will also learn what percentage insurance will pay you back once you meet your deductible.
