Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

    1. Schedule a free 20-minute consult call. During this call, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, address any questions, and decide if we're a good fit.

    2. Schedule an initial assessment session. If you'd like to move forward, this session will set the foundation for our work together. It will also help determine the intensive option that would best meet your needs if you're unsure.

    3. Show up fully to your Intensive! Together, we’ll work towards the changes you are seeking.

  • Yes, as long as you are located within the State of New York or New Jersey during sessions, you can work with me regardless of where you reside. This applies to both teletherapy and in-person sessions. My office for in-person sessions is conveniently located in downtown Brooklyn at 26 Court Street.

  • Yes, I work with people from all backgrounds and identities, as long as we both feel it’s a good therapeutic fit! My expertise in working with specific communities doesn't mean I exclude anyone. The most important factor is whether we’re a good match.

Therapy & Services

  • Intensives are focused, in-depth therapy sessions, typically lasting several hours, where we dive deeply into specific areas of healing. They can be an effective way to address significant issues or gain momentum in a shorter time frame.

    Intensives are ideal for people looking for deeper work, greater focus, or a therapeutic boost alongside ongoing therapy. The length of an intensive can vary, and we’ll tailor it to your unique needs.

  • Yes! Intensives, in particular, can be a great supplement to ongoing therapy. I'm happy to communicate and collaborate with your existing therapist or care providers as needed.

  • No, I do not prescribe medication. Psychotherapy is distinct from psychiatric care. Medication can only be prescribed by psychiatrists, primary care physicians, or psychiatric nurse practitioners.

  • While I have worked with children and families for over a decade, my practice is not currently set up to accommodate children and their families. If you'd like to be notified when my practice can accept children again, feel free to subscribe to my newsletter for updates.

Payment & Policies

  • Therapy intensives fall outside the scope of traditional outpatient therapy billing and are not covered by insurance companies. 

    Intensive are designed for focused, deep work rather than ongoing assessment and do not include diagnostic evaluations or medical necessity documentation that are required for insurance reimbursement. 

    Although intensives are not covered by insurance and do not qualify for superbills, HSA/FSA accounts may cover these costs (i.e. as a qualified medical expense), depending on your policy. I can accept HSA/FSA cards, however, it is your responsibility to confirm eligibility with your account administrators before using an HSA/FSA card.

  • Yes, I offer a trust-based sliding scale for services that are not covered by insurance Get the full details of the sliding scale here.

    Sliding scale slots are limited and competitive, so I can’t always guarantee availability, but please don't hesitate to inquire if this is something you need.

    Additionally, I provide services to recipients of the following Therapy Funds:

  • I accept all major credit cards, cash, check, and Health Savings Account (HSA)/ Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. It is your responsibility to check with your account administrator to confirm that the therapy service qualifies for reimbursement. Please note that HSA/FSA cards cannot be used for missed visits or cancellation fees.

  • Cancellations and rescheduling require 48 hours' notice for virtual sessions and 72 hours for in-person sessions. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged a fee of 50% of the scheduled service cost.

    For VIP Intensives: To receive a full refund of your deposit (minus a $100 administrative fee), you must cancel at least two (2) weeks prior to the date of your intensive.
