Frequently Asked Questions

I provide therapy in NYC and across the state via a secure telehealth platform. In fall 2024, I’ll begin seeing people in person as well.

I am currently credentialed with Aetna and Cigna. For out-of-network insurance providers, you may be able to submit a superbill for reimbursement.

Private pay rates are as follows:

• Initial phone consultation: Free

• Initial therapy intake: $250

• Regular sessions: $225

• EMDR sessions: $300

I provide a sliding scale based on individual circumstances. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a sliding scale.

This is a claim of therapy that is sent to your insurance company. Since I do not take insurance right now, this is a way to be reimbursed by your insurance. I will happily provide you with a monthly “superbill” which includes the necessary information for your claims to be processed.

Cancellation is needed 24 hours prior to the session, or there is a $125 cancellation or no show fee.

A Good Faith Estimate is to provide current and new patients who are uninsured or self pay with an estimate of expected charges before you get an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary service you’re getting or any other services that are provided as part of the same experience. This regulation is to provide transparency regarding health care costs.

This depends on your individual goals for therapy. Individual therapy sessions are typically 45-50 minutes long. The frequency and length of our sessions can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

EMDR is a form of psychotherapy that helps you safely process past traumas and store them into long-term memory, where they won’t wreak havoc on your nervous system.

EMDR enables the patient to recall a trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity and emotional tie to the memory. The bilateral movements are typically eye movements, but may also involve tapping. EMDR safely reprocess and stores these memories in the brain’s long-term memory storage.

Yes, I provide both EMDR therapy and psychotherapy simultaneously. Depending on your needs, you can choose to focus solely on one, integrate both concurrently, or start with one and transition to the other as needed.
