FAQs

I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?

Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I’ll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing.

What do we talk about during the phone consultation?

I will ask questions that relate to what is bringing you into counseling. I will also review what to expect in sessions, attendance, investment, and counseling techniques I use. You will also have an opportunity to ask me questions as well. By the end of the call, you will be able to decide if therapy is right for you and if we are a good fit.

What can I expect at the first session?

Our first session is about getting to know each other. You will learn about my counseling style, practice policies, and my assessment of your concerns. My objective is to gather information about you, help you identify goals, and collaborate on a plan of action.

What is online therapy?

Online therapy which is also known as Telehealth, is a convenient way to meet for therapy in the privacy and comfort of wherever you feel most comfortable. Online therapy is confidential and allows therapy to happen at the time and place that works best for you. At this time, all sessions that I provide are Telehealth only.

What is art therapy?

Art therapy is a therapeutic intervention that combines talk therapy and various art making modalities to provide clients with additional ways to create, express, and process what is going on around them. No special tools needed or artistic experience is required. Art therapy can take place with common items you may already have at home.

What kinds of clients do you work with?

I currently provide online counseling to adults experiencing stress, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties.

How much does therapy cost?

Each session is 45 minutes long and the cost per session is $200.

Do you accept insurance?

I am in network with Northwell Direct, Oxford, United Healthcare, Oscar, and Aetna insurances (in Texas and New York Only). I also accept Lyra Health EAP (Texas, New York, and California). I am able to work with clients who have different insurances than the ones listed on an out of network basis.
