Question 1

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

We are in-network with Aetna for individual therapy and out-of-network for all other plans. If you have out-of-network coverage, you can submit bills for individual sessions to your insurance company for partial reimbursement. Please check with your insurance company to understand your out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health services. Most insurance plans do not cover couples therapy, which is billed as code Z63.0.

Question 2

What are your fees and what type of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Our fees are $250 per session. The standard session is 50 minutes. We accept credit cards as our primary form of payment and will keep one on file in our secure client portal.

Question 3

Do you have a sliding scale?

Accepted Answer

We do not offer a sliding scale at this time.

Question 4

Are sessions in person or online?

Accepted Answer

We offer in-person sessions in Dobbs Ferry, NY and virtual appointments to accommodate your preferences and needs. Please contact us to schedule your preferred type of session.

Question 5

Do you have a no-show or cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you do not show up or cancel with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged the full rate for your session. This policy helps us manage our schedule and availability for all clients. Thank you for your understanding.

Question 6

What is it like to begin therapy?

Accepted Answer

We usually will meet for two to three sessions to discuss your current concerns, history and goals for therapy. That time will also allow us to determine whether or not we feel like we will be a good match. If so, we will establish a plan together to help you meet your goals. Otherwise, we will be happy to recommend another therapist for you to work with.

Question 7

How long should I expect to be in therapy and how often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

The duration and frequency of therapy are determined on a case-by-case basis. We recommend starting with weekly sessions for the first three to six months to build a strong therapeutic alliance and help you meet your goals. After this period, some clients transition to bi-weekly sessions and eventually may move on from therapy. We will discuss the recommended frequency during your initial sessions and adjust as needed.
