Services

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults, 18 and up, in the New York metropolitan area. Sessions are 55 minutes long. I am working virtually for now, but plan to add in-person sessions in lower Manhattan and/or downtown Brooklyn in the fall of 2024.

Financial options

  • In-network: Aetna, Cigna, & Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield New York (formerly Empire)

  • Out-of-network

  • Self-pay: $175 per session

  • Sliding scale: Apply if you think you might be eligible

Payment is expected monthly, unless you prefer to pay weekly. You can pay by Zelle, Venmo or check — or by cash if we are meeting in person.

Cancellations

I expect that you will come weekly (or twice a week if that is our arrangement) and will make an effort to cancel no more than 5 times a year, excluding holidays and unforeseen events.

I will make the same effort.

If you occasionally have a conflict with our regular time, I will try my best to reschedule with you. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice and we are not able to reschedule, you will be charged in full for the session. You will also be charged in full if you don’t show up for a session. Should the reason be a sudden illness or injury, or an emergency, let’s talk about it.

Privacy

Confidentiality is essential to our work together and I am very careful to protect it. The only exception would be if you or another were in danger of physical harm. Otherwise, everything you say, even if it involves something illegal, would be just between you and me.
