Question 1

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

No – I am an out-of-network provider – but if you have out of network benefits you should be able to get some of the cost reimbursed. I will provide you with a “superbill”  each month, which you will then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. 
Prior to starting therapy, you may want to ask the following questions of your insurance provider:
Do I have out-of-network mental health/behavioral health benefits?
Do I have a deductible? How much is it and how much has been met?
What percentage of the therapy fee is covered?
Is there a maximum # of sessions – or maximum dollar amount covered per year?

Question 2

What is your fee?

Accepted Answer

My fee depends on the length of the session and the services provided. My fees range from $250 - $350.

Question 3

Do you offer reduced fees?

Accepted Answer

I offer a limited number of reduced fee spots based on financial hardship.

Question 4

When and how do I pay you?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due on a weekly basis. I accept Zelle, Venmo, HSA/credit/debit and cash

Question 5

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

I meet with clients a minimum of once a week.

Question 6

Do you meet in-person or remotely?

Accepted Answer

I do both! With adults, I am very happy to meet with you in my office in Park Slope – but also understand that sometimes meeting remotely is more convenient. I only meet with children in person.

Question 7

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

I require at least 48 hours notice (2 business days) – or you will be charged for the session. Please note that insurance plans generally will not reimburse for missed sessions.
