I provide therapy for adults 18 and older who reside in New York State.

At this time I do not provide couples counseling however I may be open to you bringing your partner into a session to support your work in therapy if we decide it is clinically appropriate to do so.

I do not provide therapy to children or teens.

Yes, everything discussed in session is confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without your written permission, except where disclosure is required by law. As a licensed clinical social worker, I am bound by mental health law to report when an individual is at risk of harm to themselves or others. I am also mandated by law to report suspected child or elder abuse. If this ever occurs, further evaluation of the specific situation is sometimes the outcome. I will collaborate with you if these events occur with the priority of keeping you safe. Also if I am subpoenaed by a court confidentiality is waived by law.

I meet with individuals on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on their therapy needs and schedule. Scheduling also depends on my own availability at any given time. We work together to find a time that allows for you to have a confidential setting for your session.

Sessions last between 45 minutes and 90 minutes.

The fee for an individual therapy session is $150 for a session lasting approximately 45 minutes.

The fee for an initial evaluation session is $225 lasting approximately 90 minutes. This first session lasts longer in order to allow time to hear and understand your reasons for coming to therapy.

I do not accept health insurance. I am an out of network provider.

No I am not an in network provider.

I am an out of network provider. I can provide a receipt for professional services rendered to provide to your insurance company for reimbursement if necessary.

The first step to begin therapy is to reach out to me by filling out the consultation request form on this website. We’ll schedule a brief 15 minute or so meeting either by phone or virtually to see if we are a good match to work together. This first 15-minute consultation is free. If you are ready, fill out your information to take the first step.

Under the law, as a health care provider, I will give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

This estimate is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and explains how much your Therapy, or psycho social intake will cost. Here are a few key things you should know about your Good Faith Estimate:

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services anywhere you go. This can include related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

You may ensure that I give you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 3 business days before your Therapy or psychosocial intake. You can also ask me for a Good Faith Estimate prior to scheduling.

If you receive a bill that is $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

It's recommended that you save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate for your records.

For further information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.

The included "Good Faith Estimate" language is a modification of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services model notice.
