Psychotherapy Services
Individual virtual therapy for clients based in New York State.
My clients are adults (18+) who are navigating burnout coupled with at least (but not limited to) one of the following:
Parenting Challenges: In my work with kids I’ve found that there is not enough professional mental health support for parents directly around parenting challenges. Parents are expected to struggle through it all as just part of their job. But no one handed you a guidebook that said “here’s how to parent a child during a time of high social media influence and political and world uncertainties”. Not to mention having a child with unique developmental, emotional, and/or behavioral needs. On top of that, add your own personal life and/or professional stressors. And everyone is giving you advice but no one really gets it. While a child and adolescent therapist provides tools for your child and skills to improve your relationship, sometimes you also need your own space to process. I offer individual adult therapy sessions focused on helping you find your balance. Whether that’s specifically focusing on the challenges of parenting and engaging in parent skills and coaching, or having a space to vent about juggling it all, you deserve your own support.
Anxiety: You’re in your head, and it’s so hard not to be. When we are constantly reading, looking at, and hearing about such terrible things happening around the world, in our country, our cities, our neighborhoods, and maybe also within our families - it is no wonder our nervous systems can become sensitized and agitated. You’re not sleeping well, you feel more on edge, you feel even a bit paranoid and less trusting of others and situations. And maybe you’ve always been this way, always catastrophizing. But now you’ve had enough. You realize you want to feel better, feel more confident & not allow anxiety to continue to stop you from the life you deserve to be living. I’m here to guide you through that.
Relationship Issues (& People Pleasing): Are you everyone’s go-to person but feel like you don’t have someone that you can go to who really understands you? You may find yourself consistently going the extra mile to make others happy, which is sometimes a pleasing feeling, but in the end you’re burnt out. You feel like others aren’t appreciative of your efforts. Maybe others have expressed having trouble getting close to you, which is confusing. You begin to feel resentment toward the people in your life. Why are relationships so complicated when you’re just trying to do the right thing for everyone all of the time? Let’s untangle this together.
Life Transitions: Career changes, becoming a parent, losing a loved one, getting married, getting divorced, health status changes, moving from your place of origin… the list goes on. In general we all understand that life will have periods of change. Someone used to change your diapers and now you’re an adult with responsibilities. But while we may be conscious of this concept, the reality of navigating life transitions can feel extremely tough. Life transitions require not only an adjustment in our daily routines, but also acceptance that there may now be a change in our identity, our roles, relationships and/or how we perceive life. That can feel really unsettling for many of us and so difficult to face. I’m here to help.
Visit my “Get In Touch” page to learn how you may request a free consultation call. The consultation call will serve to determine if I am the right fit for your needs, before moving forward with an intake session, and any further engagement in therapy sessions.
Paying For Therapy
I am in-network with some insurance and offer private pay (and sliding scale) for those without insurance or not wanting to use insurance for this service. I offer 45 or 60 minute individual therapy sessions, on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Frequency is determined by availability and my clinical recommendation based on the assessment of your area(s) of concern.
Understanding My Private-Pay Rate
I’m happy to provide transparency regarding billing and payment as this is crucial to our professional relationship and your experience in therapy.
My private-pay rate is: $180/hr. This rate accounts for:
Dedicated time spent with you during the hour.
Personalized treatment plan and recommendations based on your unique challenges and goals.
Time spent collaborating with other providers you work with (psychiatrist, primary care doctor, care manager, etc.), if applicable.
Time spent outside of the session for documentation (insurance submissions, record keeping, letter requests, referrals, etc.).
Time (& costs) spent attending continuing education trainings and workshops to remain knowledgeable about the best evidenced based interventions and tools that may benefit you.
Payment Options
Private Pay: I accept credit cards, as well as HSA/FSA debit cards. I do not accept cash or checks.
Insurance: I am in-network with: Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Oxford Health Plans, Oscar, Optum (and some of their subsidiaries). Please visit my Alma profile for more information.
To determine your copay or coinsurance amount I advise contacting your insurance directly. While Alma’s website offer’s a cost estimator tool, this may not always be the most accurate.
Out-of-Network: If I am not in-network or do not accept the insurance you have, I can provide you with a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company to assist with receiving reimbursement. I advise contacting your insurance directly to inquire about out-of-network benefits as reimbursement rates can vary widely.
Sliding Scale: If the above payment options do not work for you and you cannot afford the private pay rate, I do offer sliding scale with reduced rates. Please reach out to me so that we may determine your eligibility.
Please visit my “Resources” page for information on financial assistance or lower-cost therapy options.
