Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

I have an office in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn for in-person appointments (contact me for the exact location and details). I also offer remote appointments over the phone, Zoom, or FaceTime.

What are your hours?

I conduct 45-minute sessions and am available Monday through Friday evenings (5:00pm-9:00pm), and all day on Saturdays (9:00am-9:00pm).

How much do you charge?

My fees are in line with other practitioners in New York City. Based on your needs, we can discuss further details during your free 15-minute consultation.

Do you take insurance / Are sessions tax-deductible?

I provide out-of-network treatment for all patients. Each insurance company has different policies on how to work with out-of-network providers. Please contact them directly for what you will need if you would like to submit claims in this fashion. Costs of counseling treatment are typically tax-deductible. Contact your tax advisor for the IRS standards if you would like to claim treatment as a deduction.

Is what I share really confidential?

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