I offer in-person sessions at my Brooklyn Heights office. I also offer virtual sessions to individuals residing anywhere in New York State and Florida.

Session fees vary based on session length. My standard session length is 45 minutes; however, sessions can be shortened or lengthened as needed.
I reserve a limited number of time slots for clients with limited financial means who need a significantly reduced session fee.
Fees will be discussed in detail during your free consultation call.
-
I am an out-of-network provider. I will provide you with a statement of services (i.e., a “superbill”), which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Contact your insurance provider directly for detailed information about your mental health coverage. You may want to know:
Do I have out-of-network behavioral health benefits?
What is my deductible?
What percentage of my session fee can I get reimbursed?
Do I have a session limit for behavioral health services?

If an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged the full session fee. Exceptions are made in the event of an emergency. If a client is able to reschedule their session within the same week, they will not be charged for the missed session. Every client is permitted three “free” no shows/late cancellations.

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
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 healthcare services, including psychotherapy 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.
