Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, navigating a major life transition, processing difficult experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions.
2. Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?
I currently offer virtual therapy to adults located in New York and New Jersey.
Beginning Spring 2027, I plan to introduce in-person services in New Jersey, initially focusing on EMDR intensives and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).
3. Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes! I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer your questions, and explore whether we might be a good fit.
4. Do you accept insurance?
I accept select insurance plans through Alma. Coverage and benefits vary depending on your insurance plan.
Please note that certain services, such as EMDR intensives and portions of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), are not covered by insurance and may require out-of-pocket payment.
Feel free to contact me for more information about insurance coverage, fees, and payment options.
5. How much does therapy cost?
Session fees vary depending on the type and length of service. I can provide information about fees, insurance coverage, and payment options during your consultation.
For clients who are uninsured or choosing not to use insurance, a Good Faith Estimate is available in accordance with the No Surprises Act.
6. How often will we meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions, although the frequency depends on your individual needs, treatment goals, and circumstances. We'll work together to determine a schedule that feels appropriate.
7. What is EMDR therapy, and how is it different from traditional talk therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating tapping, as part of a structured treatment process. You don't necessarily have to discuss every detail of a difficult experience for EMDR to be effective.
8. What is an EMDR intensive, and how is it different from traditional EMDR therapy?
EMDR intensives offer an extended, focused approach to therapy, allowing you to spend more time processing difficult experiences in fewer, longer sessions rather than traditional weekly appointments.
This format may be helpful for individuals who prefer a more concentrated approach, have limited availability for weekly therapy, or want dedicated time to focus on specific concerns.
Visit my EMDR Intensives page to learn more about how these sessions work and whether this approach might be right for you.
9. Do you offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines psychotherapy with the therapeutic use of ketamine prescribed and medically managed by a qualified medical provider.
KAP may be appropriate for certain individuals, depending on their mental health history, treatment goals, and medical eligibility.
Please contact me to learn more about current availability and whether this approach might be appropriate for you. Visit my Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy page for more information.
