Telehealth therapy provides you with the option to access care from the comfort of your own home, your office, or your car (parked of course)!

I am licensed in New York and Connecticut, so if you are located anywhere in one of those states, you can access therapy with me via telehealth.

By accessing therapy via telehealth you don’t have to take time out of your day commuting to a counseling office. It can offer more privacy and comfort to people while discussing uncomfortable topics or struggles.

Often, people are concerned about having the same therapist as someone else they know or having their therapist know other people in their lives. With telehealth, there is less likelihood of any conflicts of interest.

For video sessions I utilize a program called "Telehealth by Simple Practice." It is an extremely user-friendly service that can be accessed via smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Prior to our sessions you will receive an email and/or a text message with a link to our session.

You will click on the link and a video box will pop up and then our session will begin when we are both logged on.

This service is provided through a HIPAA compliant platform so you can be assured that our sessions will be private.

If you would like sessions via telephone only that can be arranged, please contact me to set that up. 

I do not take insurance.

I can offer complimentary submission of the receipts of our sessions to your insurance company for potential reimbursement directly to you through your out of network benefits, if you choose.

There are a multitude of reasons for why I do not accept insurance, including benefits to you, such as: not having to diagnosis you with a mental health condition, not having to provide your insurance company with the records of our sessions, not having to prove the medical necessity of our sessions, and being able to offer extended or more frequent appointments.

I really prefer to leave the frequency of sessions up to you, the client. I will recommend at least weekly sessions when you start as it is helpful in building up our relationship and becoming comfortable with one another.

As you make progress in therapy you are welcome to choose how much of a time commitment you'd like to make to your treatment. Some people prefer 1-2x weekly, whereas other clients prefer biweekly, monthly, or even dropping in for appointments as needed.

As always, my goal is to make therapy fit into your schedule, and flexible appointments is one way I am able to help with that.

That's great, you just took the first step to feeling better!

Once the appointment is accepted on my end I will send you the intake paperwork. I aim to have this process as simple as possible so don't worry, it doesn't require a lot of time or effort. Please note, this paperwork must be completed within 2 business days of your appointment or your appointment will be canceled.

You will then receive an appointment confirmation email 24 hours prior to your appointment, and an email and/or a text message immediately prior to our appointment with the link to our session.

I require 24 hours notice for all cancellations. If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours you will be charged a cancellation fee. My cancellation fee is the total fee of your session.

I do understand that life happens though, and as I’ve said, I want to make therapy as convenient as possible for my clients; so if I am able to reschedule your appointment within the same week, I will waive the cancellation fee.
