Frequently Asked Questions

  • Telehealth therapy offers the same level of care and confidentiality as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of meeting from the comfort of your own space. You will need access to a private, quiet location, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, and many clients find it just as effective—and sometimes even more convenient—than in-person therapy.

  • My fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy session is $185 for private pay clients.

  • Yes, I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, and Tufts Health Public Plans (Direct, OneCare, and Together MA). Please call the number on the back of your insurance card to verify that I am a covered provider for your specific plan to avoid unexpected service issues and costs. Please note that even if I am in-network for you, you may owe a copay or deductible. You can speak directly with your insurance company to learn more about what share of the session cost you are expected to cover.

    For clients with whom I am out-of-network, I can provide you with all the necessary information and documentation to facilitate reimbursement for my services. For both in- and out-of-network payments, you can utilize your HSA/FSA funds to pay any session fees. If you have further questions about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to me so that we can discuss them.

  • In an effort to provide accessible and equitable therapy, I periodically offer sliding scale spots. These are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If this is something you are interested in, please reach out to me directly for more information and to discuss if a spot is available at this time.

  • A typical session with me is 50 minutes long and can cover a range of topics depending on your particular goals and stage of therapy. I find it works best to have a consistent weekly or bi-weekly therapy session at the same time or as close to that cadence as possible to find our stride together.

  • I offer individual therapy, and am not able to offer couples or family counseling at this time. However, sometimes it is clinically appropriate and helpful to have a loved one join your therapy session to help them gain a deeper understanding of what you are going through and how they can best support you. If you are curious about this, please let me know, and we can discuss it together on a case-by-case basis.

  • I understand that some careers or life circumstances make it difficult to commit to a consistent therapy time, and I do appreciate that this can be a barrier to accessing support. I do my best to offer a range of appointment times, Monday through Friday, to facilitate clients’ access to care. If you are wondering if my availability is right for you, please reach out and let me know more about your scheduling needs. We can determine together if my availability is the right fit for you.
