Insurance & Payments
I am an in-network provider for Aetna insurance. I am considered an out-of-network provider for other insurance companies. At the beginning of each appointment, you will be responsible for payment by cash, check or credit card. While I do not accept insurance other than Aetna, I offer billing for the purpose of insurance reimbursement. Depending on your coverage, out-of-network insurance programs often will cover most or a significant percentage of the fee.
It is recommended that you contact your insurance company directly to find out if they offer out-of-network or telecounseling coverage. When you make contact, be sure to ask the following questions:
- Does my insurance plan offer out-of-network benefits that cover mental and behavioral health?
- What is my out-of-network deductible, if I have one? Has my deductible yet been met by other expenses?
- What amount per psychotherapy session does my out-of-network benefits cover?
- How do I submit billing so I can be reimbursed for my psychotherapy sessions?
I encourage you to contact your insurance company to verify coverage before we begin working together.
As frequent cancellations are disruptive to the therapeutic process, there is a 24-hour cancellation policy for appointments. Cancellations with less than 24-hour notice will be subject to a $75 cancellation fee except in the case of emergencies.
Group Therapy & Classes
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive therapy (MBCT) Skills Class
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who suffer from symptoms of depression. MBCT was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale and is largely derived from Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR). It is especially helpful in reducing relapse of depression and chronic unhappiness. Research since its development further suggests that MBCT practices are an effective approach to address anxiety and stress. MBCT combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes, based on the cultivation of mindfulness. The heart of the work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often contribute to depression and anxiety, while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to these.
This 8-week class and an introductory meeting is intended for people who have had one or more episodes of depression and/or those who live with anxiety. Each week you will learn new skills to help you change your relationship with anxiety and depression, so that they interfere less in your life. Discover that you can live more fully and in the present moment. The total cost for the 8-week class and introductory meeting is $400. Aetna insurance accepted; copayment applies.

About Supervision
I am licensed and registered to practice as an LCSW-R in New York State. I am qualified to provide clinical supervision for people working towards obtaining their LCSW and “R” qualification and also people working toward obtaining licenses in Psychoanalysis, Creative Arts Therapy, Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) and Marriage & Family Therapy (LMFT).
In order to obtain your New York State licensure in these fields, you must receive supervision while working with people providing direct assessment/evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
As your supervisor, we will meet either weekly for 1-hour meetings or twice monthly for 2-hour meetings. We discuss cases and I provide you with oversight and guidance in assessment/evaluation, diagnosis and treating clients. For the duration of our supervision relationship, I provide crisis consultation and will be available as needed.
My approach to supervision is like my practice with clients; supervision is a privilege and I am respectful, authentic, curious and compassionate — I see myself as an appreciative ally.
All experience that is completed in New York State must be in a setting that is legally authorized to provide psychotherapy and clinical social work services. My practice is a qualified setting that provides services within the scope of my license as a clinical social worker.
