My out of pocket fee is $150.00 for an individual session and $200.00 for a family/couples session for pt’s located in NYS.
For pt’s located outside the state of NY my out of pocket fee is $250.00 for an intake, $200.00 for an individual session and $300.00 for a family/couples session.
I do offer a sliding scale rate as well as I know times are tough and I would be happy to negotiate a different rate with you if required/needed.
I bill Private Pay pt’s through a system called IVY Pay (a secure payment system for therapist’s-similar to venmo).
I will also provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurnace company for reimbursement-if they accept out of network providers.
Please reach out to me directly via my contact page! I look forward to hearing from you; however, if this is a life-threatening emergency please contact 911 or call your local Hospital.
There is a strict no show/late cancellation policy. Clients are charged a $150.00 late cancellation fee for any missed session or session not canceled at least 24 hours in advance from the time of your scheduled appointment.
The confidentiality of all communications between a client and a therapist is protected by law. Aside from certain specific situations, a psychotherapist cannot tell anyone what you have discussed in therapy or even that you are in therapy without permission.
Please let me know if you have trouble paying for therapy. I may be able to offer a lower rate on an individual basis that allows you to receive services. This option is available for clients who are committed to therapy and improving their lives.
