Frequently Asked Questions

  • Sessions are provided virtually through a video platform. The platform is HIPAA compliant, and I will walk you through the steps of joining your session to make it a seamless process. I am licensed to see individuals residing in New Jersey, New York and Florida (telehealth).

  • Yes! I am currently in-network with Aetna insurance. We can clarify your co-pay and deductible when getting started, and you can always call Aetna directly to confirm.


  • In this case I would be seen as an “out of network” provider. I recommend calling your insurance provider and asking if you have out-of-network benefits and can be reimbursed for a percentage of the session cost. I can provide you with further guidance during our consultation call. I can still see you at my full-rate even without out-of-network benefits.

  • If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, you are kindly asked to do so with at least 48 hours' notice. There will be an $85 charge for any cancellations within the 48-hour period unless the session can be rescheduled for a different time within the same week.

  • Therapy sessions are about 50 minutes. Intake sessions tend to be closer to 1 hour.

  • Following the implementation of the No Surprises Act on January 1, 2022 Health care providers are required by law to give uninsured and self-pay patients a good faith estimate (GFE) of costs for services that they offer when scheduling care, or when the patient requests an estimate. I will provide a GFE document showing the costs of services that are reasonably expected to address your mental health care needs.
