I find that once-per-week at the same time slot works best for most people starting therapy. There is consistency and ritual with this frequency that helps build a therapeutic relationship and gets to the heart of your matters more quickly and consistently.

After establishing a rapport and finding some relief, many patients choose to increase frequency to 2x per week for deeper psychoanalytically-oriented work, while some choose to attend biweekly in order to maintain progress they’ve made.

My full rate for individual therapy (45-minute sessions) is $200. For couples, I charge $275 per hour. I am in-network with Aetna and United Healthcare at the moment, and I can help you file for out-of-network insurance benefits so that you might be reimbursed for therapy.

No; medication management is done by psychiatrists, GPs, and RNs. In addition to routine talk therapy, I can help refer you to clinicians that can help prescribe and manage medication to help alleviate your psychological symptoms.

While I do encourage you to come to my office in Manhattan, I understand that is not feasible for everyone. I am happy to provide therapy via secure telehealth video or phone.

A good fit in the therapeutic relationship is the most reliable indicator of successful treatment. I offer a free consultation to hear about what’s bringing you to therapy now and assess if we might be a good fit. If we choose not to move forward for any reason, I will provide you with referrals that can help meet your current mental health needs.
