Scheduling

If you are interested in scheduling a brief phone consultation (at no cost) or an initial appointment, please contact me via phone or email. Please note that currently, I have mostly morning and daytime availability (latest available slot is 2:30pm). ​

Due to the ongoing pandemic, all therapy services are currently provided via tele-health (only to individuals living in Florida ). Because it can be hard for children to engage with a therapist virtually, I currently only see teens and adults. If you are looking for a therapist for your child, I suggest working with someone in-person. When I resume in-person therapy sessions, I will provide an update here.

Fees

The cost of the initial intake consultation is $275 (60 minutes). At this time, we will talk about the challenges you or your child are facing, and importantly, we'll set goals and discuss the best way to help you meet them. Follow-up therapy appointments are $225 per session (45 minutes). Typically, we'll meet on a weekly basis, but scheduling varies depending on each person's needs.

Unfortunately, I am not an in-network provider on any insurance panels. For patients eligible for out-of-network insurance benefits, I will provide the necessary documentation so that you can file with your insurance company for reimbursement. For help with getting reimbursed for out-of-network costs, you may want to check out Reimbursify. I do not have a relationship with them - I simply believe that this service can help some individuals who would like extra support when submitting insurance claims.
