Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
I am located in New York City. I see clients in-person on the Upper West Side and virtually throughout the state.
What are your areas of expertise?
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, panic, and depression, particularly in relation to life transitions, dating/relationships, social stressors, adjustment to college, adjustment to new marriage/parenthood, career changes, and body image concerns. I also have specialized training in helping individuals navigate egg freezing, family planning, infertility, loss, and other reproductive stressors. I am passionate about providing collaborative, LGBTQ+ affirming care. I work with adolescents and adults in individual therapy.
What type of treatment do you utilize?
Therapy with me is collaborative and combines traditional support with evidence-based treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
What are your fees, and do you accept insurance?
Fees are $350 per 45-minute session. Like many private practices in New York City, I do not accept insurance. I can provide monthly statements (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Individuals who have out-of-network mental health benefits often find that their insurance company will reimburse between 30-80% of the therapy fee. Therapy fees are typically reimbursable by HSA/FSA accounts.
How do I start and what is involved?
Please email, call, or complete the contact form (under Contact and About) to get in touch. I am happy to provide a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss goals and fit before scheduling an initial consultation. The initial consultation will last for 60 minutes (ongoing weekly sessions are 45 minutes). The initial consultation is an opportunity to learn more about what is bringing you into therapy and to provide you with information about treatment approach. During this session, we will also discuss relevant life history and identify goals for therapy.
