Frequently Asked Questions

  • I only offer sessions online via telehealth to people located throughout New York and South Carolina.

  • No, I only provide individual therapy for adults aged 21 and older.

  • New York Clients: Currently, I accept Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, United Health Care, UMR, and Quest Behavioral Health.

    Please note: I do not accept any government funded medical plans such as Medicaid or Medicare, or any “Essential” insurance plans received through the NY State of Health Marketplace.

    South Carolina Clients: Currently, I am not in network with any insurances, but I can provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. You should contact your insurance company directly to inquire about potential reimbursement as I cannot guarantee reimbursement of therapy fees.

  • If you are using insurance, the amount you pay will be based on your individual health care plan. You should contact your insurance company to see what your benefits are for mental health or behavioral health services.

  • If not using insurance, my self-pay rates are as follows:

    Intake session = $150

    60-minute session = $150

    45-minute session = $125

  • Online therapy, also known as telehealth, allows us to meet virtually using a HIPAA compliant video platform. You can use your mobile device such as a cell phone or tablet, or your computer or laptop to join the session from your home or workplace. Telehealth services are right for you if you are able to be in a private location at the time of service. It is also advisable to have a reliable internet connection. If you do not have a reliable internet connection and are not able to be in a private location, then telehealth therapy may not be the best option for you.

  • If you need to cancel your therapy session, please give at least 24 hours notice. Cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to your session start time will incur a fee of $100. Sessions you fail to show without any notice will also incur a fee of $100.

  • Good Faith Estimate Notice

    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical 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 bill for medical items and services.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or 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.
