Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?I am professionally licensed by the New York State Office of Professions to offer psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, and groups. I have received training in various “gold-standard” methods and at times incorporate multiple modalities during session as appropriate. I will check in with you regularly during treatment to ensure our approach is beneficial, and we will revise our approach and direction as needed.
What is your treatment approach?I combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with effective evidence-based strategies. As a non-judgmental and compassionate provider, I will encourage you to be curious about yourself and to continue to move yourself forward toward your goals. I will encourage deeper thought and action that will help to facilitate true progress and wellness. The services I provide may sound clinical, but please be assured that they are non-pathologizing - I do not see your struggles as weaknesses, defects, or as if something is wrong with you. I fully believe that your emotions and behaviors are meaningful responses to your experiences and will never prioritize diagnosis, labels, or cookie-cutter approaches. Our work together will not feel clinical or institutional. I continue to invest in my own growth as a therapist and person and genuinely want to support you on your path.
Do you accept health insurance?I do not accept health insurance, because I do not believe that insurance companies support services that are person-centered and non-pathologizing. When insurance is used, a provider is required to give a person a diagnosis and therapy will be limited by insurance policies with regard to session duration, the number of sessions, etc. However, I am able to provide you with a monthly “superbill” if you are eligible for out-of-network insurance benefits and are interested in submitting for reimbursement to your insurance company. This may enable you to be reimbursed for a portion of session costs by your insurance company. Please contact your health insurance company to determine if these benefits are available to you. If you would like a list of specific questions to ask your insurance company, please request this information via my online Contact Form. Please note that your insurance company would require a mental health diagnosis to be identified and may request access to your health records to support reimbursement. Payment would continue to be due at the time of service. Please also note that insurance reimbursement only applies to individual therapy; health insurance does not typically reimburse for couple’s therapy, as the couple is considered the client rather than one individual person.
What is the cost of therapy?
The frequency of therapy sessions will be determined together depending upon your needs and goals. Session duration may be revised as agreed upon by you and the therapist based on your needs and goals as well.
