I treat individuals across a lifespan. For cases where a child is younger than 10; parent work will be required in addition to working with the child. Additionally, if there are difficulties related to school, a release would need to be signed in order for school collaboration to occur.

Prior to intake, intake forms will need to be completed. Intake forms will include questionnaires and consent forms to sign. The intake appointment will last for 60 minutes (ongoing weekly sessions are 45 minutes). This appt is an opportunity to learn more about what is bringing you into therapy, identify your goals and to provide you with information about what treatment would look like.

For adolescent or child cases, the intake is 2 parts. One session with parents/caregivers and a separate session with adolescent. If teen is over 18, parent involvement can occur once a release is signed.

Monday through Thursday (10am-6pm).

Investment: $375/session

$75/group session

Limited slots will be available for those needing sliding fees due to financial difficulties.

No Surprises Act

Effective January 1, 2022, a ruling went into effect called the "No Surprises Act," which requires mental health practitioners to provide a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) to patients who do not have insurance or patients who have insurance but are out-of-network. The Good Faith Estimate's purpose is to show the cost of services to avoid an unreasonably large bill. Your treatment and cost of treatment will vary based on your individual needs, amount of therapy sessions needed/wanted, and the type and length of services you attend. Please remember you can always discuss billing, cost, treatment plan, length of sessions, and amount of sessions with me at any time.

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019

Payment is expected at the time of the session via credit card that is saved on file.

Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged in full.

Like many private practices in New York City, I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept any insurance directly. Some companies can request notes about your treatment, limit the work we do together, reimburse 6-8 weeks after the session and quite frankly, I rather spend my time doing what I love…helping you then going back and forth with insurance about the care you deserve. Individuals who have out-of-network mental health benefits often find that their insurance company will reimburse between 30-80% of the therapy fee. It really depends on your insurance.

In order to simplify the insurance reimbursement process, I offer 2 options. Firstly, I provide “superbills” (weekly invoices) to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Secondly, I use a platform (Thrizer) in which you do NOT need to pay full session fee upfront. With Thrizer, you only pay your responsibility for your sessions while they cover the rest of the fee and wait for reimbursement on your behalf. To learn more, click here.

• Do I have out-of-network benefits to see a licensed clinical psychologist?

• If so, what percentage of the session fee do you cover?

• Is there a session limit?

• Is pre-authorization required?

• What is the deductible, and how much of the deductible have I met?

• How do I submit claims?

• Is there a difference between in person or virtual sessions?

It is often necessary to provide the CPT code for the services. The CPT code for a 45-minute individual therapy session is 90834-95 (for virtual; 90834 for in person), and the CPT code for an intake assessment is 90791-95. After submitting for reimbursement your insurance company will process your claim and reimburse you directly.

Currently, I offer in-person sessions in Tribeca (299 Broadway).
