Policies and Fees

The standard meeting time for most therapy sessions is 45 minutes, however sometimes it is necessary to schedule longer appointments as needed and due to the nature of the treatment provided. Intake interview appointments are typically 90 minutes.

Yes! I offer both in person and telehealth appointments.

My office is located at 792 Union Street, Floor 2, in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Please note that I am currently only offering in person appointments on Monday and Tuesday.

Fees are based on the standard 45-minute session. Most people typically require only weekly 45-minute sessions. Rates are increased yearly.

Here are a list of rates for new clients as of January 1, 2024:

90-minute intake session: $750

45-minute therapy session: $375

60-minute therapy session: $500

90-minute session: $750

A credit card is kept on file and the balance due will be charged at the time of the appointment.

I kindly ask that you please remember to cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 24 hours in advance. If you do not cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance or do not show to your appointment, you will be charged for the full fee. This is because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you, unless you are able to reschedule within the week. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time.

As a clinical psychologist, I do not prescribe medications. However, I often work closely with psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, who can prescribe medications. I can provide you with trusted referrals if you choose to pursue medication management.

No, I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider. You may receive full or partial reimbursement for the cost of your sessions through your health insurance if your insurance provider offers out-of-network coverage. Clients can receive a monthly superbill upon request which includes the necessary information to assist with any out-of-network reimbursement requests, if eligible.

I recommend that you speak to your insurance company to inquire about your specific coverage and out-of-network reimbursement eligibility. Other helpful questions to ask are below:

• Do I have out-of-network coverage?

• Is there an annual deductible that I need to meet first?

• Do I need preauthorization?

• What percentage do you cover for out-of-network mental health providers?

• Is there a specific claim form that I must use to submit for reimbursement?

Your insurance will likely ask for more specific information about the services provided, which is listed below:
