Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?
While I am not in-network with any insurance company, many patients have out-of-network benefits that provide reimbursement for treatment . I can work with you to help clarify your insurance benefits so that we can agree on an appropriate fee. are in order to agree upon an appropriate fee.
What if I don’t have insurance that includes out-of-network benefits?
2
If you do not have out-of-network benefits, I will do my best to offer a fee that takes into account your individual financial situation (including income and obligations). If necessary, I can also provide referrals for lower-fee treatment.
How often will therapy take place?
3
The frequency of treatment is determined by mutual agreement between patient and therapist at the conclusion of the consultation process. I will make a recommendation at the end of the consultation process, but the decision about how often to attend treatment ultimately rests with the patient. That said, based on considerations of clinical efficacy, I do not offer treatment at a frequency of less than once per week.
Will I need to pay for an initial consultation?

No. The initial consultation is offered free of charge.
How long will my treatment last?
This is a legitimate and common question, but one that is difficult for an analyst to answer, as it is difficult to predict and the answer will vary depending on the circumstances of each individual case.
Freud once addressed this question with a metaphor: “Our answer is like the answer given by the Philosopher to the Wayfarer in Aesop’s fable. When the Wayfarer asked how long a journey lay ahead, the Philosopher merely answered ‘Walk!’ and afterwards explained his apparently unhelpful reply on the ground that he must know the length of the Wayfarer’s stride before he could tell how long the journey would take.”
