Frequently Asked Questions About NYC Therapy
What kinds of people and issues do you work with?
I work with individuals and couples facing high-pressure work environments, major life transitions, relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma. My practice provides a reflective space where you can slow down, gain insight into your experiences, and discover new ways forward.
What is your approach to therapy?
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy. In simple terms, this means we look beyond the immediate problem to understand the deeper emotional and relational patterns that influence how you think, feel, behave, and relate to others. Together, we explore how past experiences, relationships, and ways of coping may continue to shape your life today, while also identifying and building on your strengths and developing new capabilities. The goal is not only to address the difficulties you’re experiencing, but to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
How long are sessions?
Individual psychotherapy sessions are 45 minutes in length. Couples therapy sessions are 50 minutes.
What is your fee?
My standard fee is $225 for an individual session. I also maintain a limited number of sliding-scale openings for those in financial need.
How long does therapy last?
The length of therapy depends on your specific needs and goals. Some clients work with me for several months to help with a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term therapy for deeper and more lasting change.
Do you offer telehealth sessions?
Yes. I provide in-person sessions in Manhattan on 13th Street, as well as Zoom video sessions for people throughout New York State.
Is therapy confidential?
Confidentiality is an essential part of the therapeutic process, and I take it very seriously. I follow professional, ethical, and legal standards to protect your privacy and create a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance and am an out-of-network provider. I provide detailed monthly billing statements that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. For step-by-step guidance, please see my insurance information page.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Zelle is my preferred payment method because of its security, privacy, and ease of use.
