Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you! Before we start, I conduct a 15-minute phone consultation to figure out if we are a good fit.

I respond to all messages within 24-48 hours.

If this is an emergency, call 911 or 1-888-NYC-WELL to speak to a crisis counselor for free, 24/7.

Finances

Sessions are $300 and last 50 minutes. I accept Credit Card, Paypal, and Venmo.

Insurance

I am not in network with any insurances; however, I am a qualified out-of-network behavioral health provider. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, then you are likely to receive reimbursement for a portion of treatment. To make the reimbursement process easier, I provide you with invoices to submit to your insurance carriers on a monthly basis. 

If you plan to seek reimbursement for treatment, please check with your insurance provider to inquire about the details of your out-of-network benefits and request pre-approval to seek my services prior to our first visit.

They may request the following information to process your request:

National Provider Identification (NPI) # 1457870032

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) NY State License #090330

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) State of California, License #117042

Location

I’m based in New York City, NY. I can work with individuals across the state of California and New York, individuals located in the state of Illinois, as well as Mainland China.

How Do Online Appointments Work?

I use HIPAA-complaint Zoom as our video conferencing platform. I will email you a link prior to our session. I also conduct phone sessions for those who prefer to do so.

What to Expect in a First Session

I often ask you a little bit about yourself, as well as past experiences in therapy (or not), so we can determine your expectations and your goals.

I will also give you a sense of my style: how I work with your words, somatic reactions, as well as emotional experiences; how I connect your past with your present, and how we work towards your future.
