Frequently Asked Questions

A: Please contact me by phone or email to set up a free 15- minute phone consultation to discuss what you are looking to gain from therapy.
A: I offer both virtual and in- person sessions. In- person sessions take place at my office in Northport. Virtual sessions are conducted through Simple Practice, a HIPPA compliant telehealth platform. I am a New York State licensed psychologist, therefore clients must be residents of New York State.
A: This varies on an individual basis. Typically we start out meeting weekly and eventually move to biweekly appointments as you begin to notice a reduction in symptoms. Some clients like to continue with weekly meetings as they find therapy to be a supportive space. I find weekly meetings at the start of therapy is helpful for forming rapport and identifying therapeutic goals.
A: Sessions must be cancelled or rescheduled 48 hours before the scheduled session times. If you cancel with less than 48 hours of notice you will be charged the full session fee. Exceptions are made on a case by case basis.

A: I send superbills to clients on a monthly basis. I encourage clients to contact their insurance company to inquire about their plan’s out of network benefits. Many clients are reimbursed for up to 80% of the session cost once a deductible is reached.
