Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes, we will have a 15-20 minutes call to discuss whether we are a good fit.

What is your fee?

My session fee is $275 for individual therapy and $300 for couples and family therapy.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans except Aetna (I am in-network with some Aetna plans). My fee is $275 for individual therapy and $300 for couples and family therapy. If you have out-of-network benefits through your insurance, I can submit claims for you and you will be receiving reimbursement for our sessions (usually 60-80% of the session fee after you have met your deductible).

How do I know if I have out-of-network benefits?

You can call your insurance and ask the following questions: 

  • Does your plan reimburse for out-of-network mental health services?

  • What is your out-of-network deductible (how much you have to pay before the insurance benefits begin)?

  • Find out if they set the allowable rates for psychotherapy (CPT code 90834 for individual therapy and 90847 for family therapy). The insurance company might have a lower allowable rate than my fees, this will affect how much they will reimburse.

  • Find out what percentage of the out-of-network mental health services is covered by your plan.

What is the typical length of a session? How long are the sessions?

Individual sessions are about 45 minutes. Couples and family sessions are a bit longer, usually 50–60 minutes, to give space for everyone’s voices

Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?

I offer both in-person sessions in my office in Brooklyn Heights (26 Court Street, Brooklyn NY 11242), and also virtually using a private and secure HIPPA- compliant telehealth platform.
