I’ve never been in therapy. What’s it like?

Therapy is a conversation between us.  It’s a place where you can bring all of your thoughts and feelings and discuss them in a non-judgmental space.  Sometimes you need a place to vent.  Other times you want another set of ears on a problem to get a different perspective.  Sometimes we discuss practical tools to help you in the moment, like mindfulness or breathing techniques.  And sometimes we take a deeper look at the things in your past that might still be unconsciously affecting you today.

How long is a session?

Sessions are 50 minutes long.

How often do I come?

Typically I recommend clients begin attending therapy once a week so as to progress at a good pace and not lose too much momentum between sessions.

Where are you located and are you meeting in person?

At this time I am able to see clients in New York and Connecticut. I am only meeting clients through Telehealth. I use a HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform through Headway.

Do you take insurance? 

I am currently licensed in NY and CT and I take Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and Carleon Behavioral Health insurance. If you do not have one of these insurances you can self-pay and I will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for out of network benefits. This is actually quite an easy process and I am happy to walk you through it.

How do I know if you are the right therapist for me? 

This is such a good and important question!  When looking for a therapist I think it is important to speak with a few different ones on the phone to get a feel for their style and personality.  Ultimately you want to be with someone you feel comfortable with and to be with something you feel “gets” you.  I encourage open communication always, and ongoing, and if you do feel like something is “off” then please bring it into the session to discuss together!
