Questions.

Please schedule a free phone consultation through my Contact Page. Consultation calls are an opportunity to assess comfortability, overall connection, and to discuss logistics (scheduling, insurance, etc.). We will briefly discuss your presenting issue(s), therapeutic goals, and any miscellaneous questions you may have (this typically takes 15-20 minutes).

Fill out the form on the Contact Page.. Once received, I will reach out via email to schedule a brief phone consultation. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please dial 911 or go to your local emergency room. This contact form is not appropriate in emergency situations.

Individual sessions range from 45 -55 minutes. Length of sessions will be guided by individual needs and a collaborative treatment planning process.

Weekly or biweekly appointments are recommended for new clients. It is important to make sure that therapy works for you – so if this commitment does not feel possible, we can explore an alternative schedule. For clients who are interested in long-term therapy, it is typical to transition to a less frequent schedule after 8-12 weeks.

I currently accept Aetna, Horizon BCBS, United Healthcare, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Oxford. If my practice is out of network from your insurance plan, I can provide a Superbill. Clients can submit Superbills to their insurance company to receive out-of-network reimbursement. Please note that reimbursements are not guaranteed. You will need to verify with your insurance company whether or not your plan includes out-of-network benefits. Submission of a Superbill is the client’s responsibility.

For clients using Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Oxford, I outsource billing to Headway (Headway | Find Therapists Covered by Your Insurance). Headway provides instant eligibility summaries & a breakdown of out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles and copays. All copays and out of pocket costs will be collected through this system. For clients using Horizon BCBS, copays and deductibles will be collected via a secure app (Ivy Pay). I also utilize Ivy Pay for self-pay clients.

We are located in Red Bank, New Jersey. For NJ residents who prefer telehealth due to distance/health concerns/personal preference, we offer this option as well. We utilize a safe & secure HIPAA compliant platform to ensure privacy and confidentiality. Please note, you must be both a resident of and physically in New Jersey during the time of a telehealth session (per regulatory board requirements). Clients are not permitted to utilize telehealth during travel outside of New Jersey.

No, we do not prescribe medication. We can provide referrals for psychiatrists who offer psychiatric assessments, services, and ongoing medication management.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
