It
is my personal and professional belief that good quality therapy needs
to remain accessible and should not be cost prohibitive. Since
this represents my commitment, I do offer sliding scale when possible
and appropriate. All fees are determined together in consultation at our
first meeting. I carry the highest professional acknowledgement set by New York State, which is licensure. This is the credential often required for insurance reimbursement. I am a Medicaire provider and accept assignment for this insurance only. Clients with out of network options on their insurance plans submit my bills for direct reimbursement from their insurance companies. Insurance companies pay 50-80% of what is considered a customary and reasonable fee. There have never been any challenges to my fee from an insurance company. In general, my sessions are 45 minutes long. However, I like to remain flexible because there are times when a 60 minute hour is more appropriate. Some clients need more time to unwind and get to the "real issues". Others are comfortable with the 45 minute session because for them it feels like enough time and there is comfort in adhering to that particular boundary of time. While the vast majority of my clients utilize the 45 minute appointment, as I get to know you better, we can determine together if we want to adjust the 45 minute session to a 60 minute one.
