Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I have openings right now and am taking on new clients. If you reach out, I’ll usually be able to schedule a free 15-minute consultation within the same week.

Most people have their first full session within one to two weeks of getting in touch. The usual sequence is: a short message from you, a free 15-minute phone call to see whether we’re a fit, and then a first session at a time that works with your schedule. If you’d like to move faster than that, say so, and I can often accommodate.

For work with individuals, my fee is $250 per 45-minute session. For couples, my fee is $300 per 60-minute session. I offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for clients for whom the full fee is a barrier. If that’s true for you, please say so when you reach out so we can discuss availability.

I’m a private-pay practice and don’t bill insurance directly. I can provide a detailed monthly superbill you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many individuals receive a meaningful portion (often 40-80%) of the session fee back after meeting their deductible, though reimbursement rates vary by plan. If you’d like help understanding what your plan covers, I’m happy to help you understand it.

Most of my work is weekly, which gives us enough continuity to make meaningful progress. I reserve your appointment time specifically for you, which helps provide a reliable space for the work. Some clients move to twice a week when they want the work to go deeper. Length of treatment varies, with some people coming for a specific life transition over a few months, and others staying for a year or more.

I currently have weekday daytime availability. Please contact me for details about specific openings.

I see clients across New York State via secure video (telehealth), with plans to open an in-person office soon. Many clients prefer telehealth, as it tends to be more sustainable for people with demanding schedules.

Rather than working from a protocol, we follow what you bring into the room — what you notice, what repeats, what you avoid, what your body is holding. Over time, that can produce real understanding of how you got here and what’s keeping it going, leading to greater freedom in how you choose to live. Learn more about my approach here.

The best way is a 15-minute phone consultation. It’s free, there’s no pressure to commit to anything, and most people leave the call with a clearer sense of whether this feels like the right kind of therapy for them right now.

Email is appropriate for scheduling and logistical matters. As this method is not always secure, I recommend limiting sensitive or clinical information in electronic communication. More in-depth concerns are best discussed during sessions. Read more about our privacy practices here.

Because I hold your appointment time for you each week, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions canceled with less notice are charged the full fee.

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of services. I am happy to provide this upon request and to answer any questions you may have about fees. Find more information here.
