Payment and Policies
Fees $230 for individual therapy 50-55 mins; $325 for couples 60 mins. I have limited sliding scale spots for people who have financial hardship.
Insurance: I accept Cigna. If you have out of network (OON) benefits with your insurance company, I can also provide paperwork and submit claims, and they usually cover some portion of the fee.
Payment: I accept credit cards, check, Zelle and Paypal.
Cancellation: If you do not cancel your appointment 48 hours in advance, you will be required to pay for the full cost of the session.
Confidentiality: Under New York law, the information you share with me in session is confidential. The exception to this is you are a danger to yourself or others, and in that instance I am allowed to break confidentiality to protect you, or others that could be adversely affected. I should also advise you that I am a mandated reporter, and am legally bound to advise New York State if I am told of any abuse of a child during the course of my work.
