FAQS

You can do BOTH. I am physically located in Rochester, NY. If you live close, I’d love to see you in my Brighton office. If you are not in Rochester and would like to see me, I provide all services virtually. I use a Electronic Health Record that allows me to see you virtually. Contact me if you’re interested in working together.

Online therapy is something I have been providing to my clients for 6 years. I use my electronic health record to provide virtual therapy through an encrypted video link. Virtual therapy allows you to see me from the comfort of your own home or the privacy of your office. Just make sure you have a quiet and private place to chat and we can do our thing.

I sure do! I have an office located in Rochester, NY. I also occasionally travel to NYC where I see clients as well. Call me for more info.

Weekly therapy is $325 per 50-minute session. This option is for clients who want a regular daytime appointment each week.

Concierge therapy starts at $2,400 per month. Plans include at least four sessions per month and agreed-upon access between appointments. We’ll discuss the level of support you need, how and when you can reach me, and the full monthly fee before we begin.

Late-night, weekend, and holiday appointments may cost more. Travel sessions have additional fees and travel expenses. I’ll explain those costs before you book.

I am in network with Excellus BCBS in Western NY but my availability is limited. For those that do not have Excellus, I can provide you with a “superbill” to provide to your insurance company. If you have out of network benefits, they may reimburse you for some or all of the cost of our sessions. Questions to ask your plan:

Do I have out of network benefits?

What is my co-insurance and/or deductible for out of network benefits?

I only see clients weekly. Especially in the beginning, we want to meet regularly so that we can build trust and consistency. Please keep this in mind when you consider the cost as I am not able to accomodate less frequent visits.

Therapy, at first, is getting to know each other. I want to know you very well, and when I do, our work together can be more effective. I take notes in our first session sometimes so that I can look back on them until I get to know you well. I encourage you to ask me questions too. I will want to know about your upbringing, your family, the current struggles/challenges in your life, important people, major events in your life, and what brings you to see me.

Yes. Your privacy is central to our work. I won’t share what you tell me simply because someone asks—including a family member, employer, agent, or team.

Confidentiality does have legal limits. Depending on the circumstances and the state where you receive therapy, I may be required or permitted to disclose information to neglect, or comply with another legal requirement. Talking about a painful thought does not automatically mean I will contact someone.

Before we begin, I’ll explain the confidentiality rules that apply to your care and answer your questions. If a situation arises where I may need to share information, I’ll discuss it with you when I can and disclose only what is necessary.

There’s no set timeline. Some clients come to work through a specific issue or transition; others want ongoing space to explore trauma, relationships, and patterns that have developed over many years.

We’ll talk about what you want from therapy and check in as we go. You can decide when our work feels complete, and I’ll be honest with you about the progress I’m seeing.
