Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

I have an office on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for in-person appointments on Mondays (contact me for the exact location and details). I also offer virtual appointments over the phone, Zoom, or FaceTime.

What are your hours?

I conduct 45-minute sessions and am available Monday through Thursday (9:00am-9:00pm), and Fridays (9:00am-3:00pm).

How much do you charge?

I offer a sliding scale in line with other Licensed Clinical Social Work therapists in New York City. Based on your needs, we can discuss further details during your free 15-minute intake consultation.

Do you take insurance / Are sessions tax-deductible?

I am in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem, Independence, Horizon, Highmark), Carelon, Cigna, Optum (United Healthcare, Oscar, Oxford), and Quest Behavioral Health. I can also provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement claims. Feel free to contact me with any questions about this matter, as I aim to keep therapy affordable.

Is what I share really confidential?

Yes—there are only two exceptions. 1) If clients intend to harm themselves or someone else. 2) In specific pertinence to children, I am obligated by law to report suspicion of abuse and/or neglect.
