Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
In NY I am an out-of-network provider which means that you might be eligible for partial reimbursement through your insurance. In NJ I have partnered with Headway and am in network with Aetna and Cigna.
In both NY & NJ am happy to provide documentation for our sessions (called a superbill) that you submit to your insurance. (Please note that insurance requires a mental health diagnosis code for reimbursement.) Reimbursement rates vary by plan and not all insurance plans allow for out-of-network providers. Please check with your insurance directly with any questions.
What are the session fees?
$160 for a 50 minute session.
How often do we meet?
My clients see the most results when they put time and consistency into the process. This means weekly sessions are recommended, but not necessary. As we begin therapy, I ask that you commit to weekly appointments for the first 2 months as we get to know each other and find our groove. We can talk about dropping down from there.
Where are sessions held?
Either from the comfort of your home (in the states of NY or NJ), at a park in Sussex County NJ for walking sessions, or in my office at 529 Rt 515, Suite 204, Vernon NJ
What are your credentials?
I'm a licensed mental health counselor (NYS #005755) and licensed professional counselor (NJ #37PC01022200) specializing in mindfulness-based therapies. I have specialized training and practice in the following: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Yoga for trauma, Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction, Compassion Fatigue, Perinatal Mental Health, Internal Family Systems, and Anti-Oppressive Practices.
Do you offer sliding scale appointments?
I have limited availability for sliding scale appointments based on financial need and require a weekly commitment. Feel free to contact me to talk more about sliding scale availability and policies.
