FAQs & Fees
What happens in the first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your experiences, and what you hope will change. You decide how much to share. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and a direction for our work.
What if I’ve tried therapy before?
We’ll discuss what helped, what didn’t, and what you’re looking for now. Your feedback matters. We’ll check in about the work and adjust our approach around your needs and goals.
How confidential is therapy?
Therapy is confidential, with exceptions explained in your intake documents and the practice’s HIPAA Notice. We’ll review privacy and confidentiality when we begin, and you can ask questions at any point.
How often will we meet?
We generally start with weekly sessions. Over time, we may consider biweekly sessions based on your needs and how the work is progressing.
Do you offer online therapy?
I offer virtual therapy through secure video sessions for clients in New York State.
Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement. See the payment details below, or ask about checking your benefits before beginning.
