FAQ
-
Do you take my health insurance?
I am on panel with several insurance providers and will continue to add more. That being said I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to learn more about what services they cover and what your payment responsibility might be. See Payments and Insurance
-
How do I know if you can work with me?
Once you connect with me we will schedule a phone or video call for approximately 15-20 minutes to determine if I may be able to work with you. If not, I will do my best to provide you with referral information.
-
How often and long are the appointments?
All therapy appointments are one hour long. Group Therapy is 90 minutes. Appointment frequency will be determined together. For example, some prefer or need weekly appointments, others may need appointments twice a month. Overall length of treatment varies for everyone. We will continuously assess if therapy needs to be ongoing or if we are ready to part ways. For instance: someone may only need 6-8 appointments before completing therapy, whereas others may need to work toward their goals for a longer time frame (6 months, a year etc.).
-
Where will my appointments be?
I am offering primarily virtual/ tele-health appointments at this time due to client demand. As long as you are in a safe, private location within NYS I am able to work with you. Some limited in-person options are available in the Capital Region, NY.
-
Do you provide medication?
Nope! As a licensed psychologist in NYS I do not have the credentials to provide medication. If medication is warranted to manage your symptoms, I will assist with recommending providers to you (these include: psychiatrists,, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and or some conditions even your medical doctor).
-
Are you available after hours?
Unfortunately I am not able to provide emergency or after-hours care. If there is an emergent situation I recommend that you call 911 , 988 (Suicide Prevention Hotline), or text 741741 (Crisis Text Line). Please note that I respond to voicemails and emails within 1-2 business days.
