Frequently Asked Questions
-
A first session is an opportunity for me to get a feel for who you are, what some of your concerns might be, and to get an idea of what life has been like for you recently. It’s also an opportunity for you to get to know me and my working style. There will be plenty of time for you to ask me questions!
-
Absolutely not! I believe most people can benefit from therapy, and I often work with people who want to “go deeper.” Deeper into understanding who they are, deeper into understanding the world around them, and deeper into understanding why they are the way they are. Sometimes this feels more like something is “missing” than something is “wrong.”
-
I offer the flexibility of conducting sessions both in-person and virtually. You have the choice of traditional face-to-face meetings in my welcoming office in the Flatiron District, which provides direct interaction.
Alternatively, virtual sessions are available to accommodate geographical constraints, scheduling preferences, and other considerations. Through secure online platforms, we can ensure a seamless and effective therapeutic experience.

Sessions are 50-55 minutes in length and cost $175 per session. I accept all major credit cards and flexible spending accounts.

I accept clients who are in-network with my insurance providers, those who are out-of-network, and those without insurance.
Over 80% of clients who are covered by in-network insurance have an average co-pay of $25 per session. You can get a co-pay estimate here.
Coverage depends on your individual plan and benefits, but my in-house billing team will help you verify your benefits to understand your coverage.
If you have an insurance provider that’s not listed, I'm happy to work with you to optimize insurance reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
-
If you're covered by an insurance provider I'm not in-network with, you still may be able to receive coverage for therapy. Many PPO plans provide out-of-network benefits for mental health services.
You may be eligible for reimbursement for some (or all!) of the cost of your sessions. I can provide a monthly superbill (i.e. itemized receipt) for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
If you’re unsure about your out-of-network coverage, my billing team can help you identify your benefits.
You can also use this out-of-network reimbursement calculator to approximate your benefits. Once we decide to work together, my billing team will verify your benefits.
*In instances where out-of-network benefits are covered, you will be responsible for full payment at the time of service. Your insurance company will reimburse your expenses afterward, most often in the form of a check.
