Do you offer self pay options?

Yes, I offer private-pay services with a sliding scale fee structure ranging from $80 to $150 per session, depending on financial need, appointment type, and availability.

What age groups do you work with?

I work with adolescents (13+), young adults, adults, couples, and older adults. If you’re unsure whether my practice is a good fit for your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Do you offer virtual therapy?

Yes. I provide secure telehealth services for clients located anywhere in New York State, as well as in-person appointments in Amityville, NY. 

What is your cancellation policy?

I kindly request at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments without notice, may be subject to a cancellation fee. The fee is typically equivalent to your session co-pay. For clients without a co-pay, a $25 cancellation fee may apply. This policy helps ensure appointment availability for all clients seeking care. 

What can I expect during the first session?

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy. We’ll review your history, current concerns, goals for treatment, and answer any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative, and comfortable environment from the very beginning.
