Services/Rates

Free 20-Minute Phone Consultation

I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to figure out what you are looking for and to get a sense of whether I would be the right clinician to help you.

Individual Psychotherapy

I usually meet with clients a minimum of one time per week, for 45 minutes. Our first 2-4 sessions are about getting information from you to assess what is troubling you and how I could be of assistance. Together we will formulate a highly individualized treatment plan with issues you want to address in therapy. During that time I encourage you to think about how you feel working with me and ask me any questions you may have. I will also be assessing if I believe I would be the right therapist to help you.

Psychoanalysis

I offer psychoanalysis, which is an intensive form of treatment, in which I meet with people three or more times per week. Feel free to reach out if you are interested or would like more information about this type of therapy.

Rates

$ 300-350 per 45-minute session. I accept payment via check, Venmo or Zelle.

I offer a sliding scale, depending on need and on my availability of sliding scale slots.

Availability

I currently have very limited availability. Please get in touch to discuss setting an appointment.

Insurance

I am a provider for New York University's Consolidated Health Plan Insurance.

For all other insurance plans, I am an out-of-network provider. This means that if you have health insurance, you can check with them to see what benefits they provide for mental health when you see an out-of-network provider.

Insurances vary widely in this, with some reimbursing you for a large percentage of the cost of treatment (75-100%), some reimbursing after you reach your deductible, and others not offering any financial assistance. Some require that you receive a referral for mental health treatment from your primary care provider. So the first step would be to call them and find out what your plan offers.

I provide you with a receipt at the end of each month that you can present to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about finances.

Clinical Supervision of Other Mental Health Professionals

I provide 45-minute supervision for group and individual therapy. Rates are arranged on a case-by-case basis. Specifically, I supervise on psychotherapy issues, such as:

  • Impasses in treatment

  • Formulating a case psychodynamically to better guide treatment

  • Dealing with challenging therapeutic situations

  • Understanding treatment failures or dropouts

  • Understanding and working with clients with global identity and relationship difficulties

  • Working with Spanish-speakers and appreciating issues of culture and immigration

  • How to manage difficult situations in group therapy; how to make a group work together to achieve therapeutic goals

Group Psychotherapy

Although I am not currently running any groups in my private practice, I will be developing this aspect of my practice in the near future.
