Frequently asked questions.
What are your rates and insurance?
I provide sessions at standard rates for NY ($200 for individual & $275 for couples).
This reflects the costs of ongoing training and supervision.
A limited number of sliding scale spots are available based on financial need.
I am in network with Cigna health insurance.
If you have another plan, I can provide you with a billing statement to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to verify if your insurance plan has out of network benefits.
Questions to ask include:
- Do I have out-of-network mental health or behavioral health coverage?
- Does my plan reimburse for psychotherapy services provided by a licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT)?
- Do I need to meet an out-of-network deductible? How much is it?
- At what rate will I be reimbursed? (60%, 80% etc. If they ask for a CPT code it is 90837)
- Does my plan reimburse for telehealth (video) psychotherapy services?
- Is there an annual limit on the number of sessions or the total amount that is reimbursable?
- What is the process for getting reimbursed?
What is therapy, and how does it help?
If you're going through a difficult period, therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to talk things through with another person. So often, we become our own harshest critics—and therapy provides a space to challenge that inner voice with more compassion and understanding.
Together, we’ll explore the context around your experiences, recognizing that difficult life events are not personal failures. Each week, we'll hold your goals in mind and work collaboratively to find practical, supportive steps to help you move forward. There will be new insights and realizations that permeate into your day to day life. You don’t have to go through it alone.
How often do we meet?
In the beginning, it is helpful to meet weekly to gain traction. Once things are feeling better, we will discuss together and create a plan to reduce frequency.
Do we meet virtually or in person?
Currently, I am providing virtual sessions in New York State.
