Frequently Asked Questions
​
Do you take my insurance?
I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Health Care, NYSHIP/Beacon, Oxford, Humana/GHI/Emblem, and Value Options.
What kind of techniques do you use in
therapy?
I am a behavior therapist. I employ various strategies based largely upon scientific studies.. this is referred to as a "scientist-practitioner" (endorsed by the American Psychological Association) and most widely used training model for clinical psychologists today.
What are your rates? Do you offer sliding scale rates?
For those who wish to use their health insurance plans rates will vary depending upon your individual plan (i.e., copays or deductibles). Please remember that it is your responsibility to check in with your insurance provider and review the details of coverage.
​
My fee for private therapy (not using insurance) is 200.00/30 minute session. If requested, and I believe that my clinical skills are a strong match for the client, I am open to sliding scale. Sliding scale fee is a negotiable rate for services based upon verified income.
Do you offer virtual therapy (telehealth)?
Absolutely! Their is significant evidence that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person!
How often will we meet?
According to the research, frequency depends on clinical presentation. Some clients are monthly and others may be twice weekly. During our initial consultation we will discuss these particulars and look at a schedule that works for you!
