Where are you located? Do you offer online therapy?

My fully virtual practice makes it easy and convenient for my clients to fit their therapy into their busy lives anywhere in New Jersey. I use the secure, HIPAA-compliant version of Google Meet for our sessions. This allows clients to see me without having to commute to an office and do therapy in their own space, wherever they’re most comfortable.

Do you take insurance?

I am not directly in-network with any insurance.

However, if your plan has out-of-network benefits, my license, training, and education will qualify you for out-of-network reimbursement.

Most insurance plans with out-of-network benefits will reimburse you 60-90% of my fee after the deductible is met. Please note that I make no guarantees about the level of reimbursement from your insurance company, and clients are responsible for being informed about all the details of their insurance plans.

As a free service, I can directly submit out-of-network claims to your insurance for reimbursement. If your plan has this benefit, you will receive a reimbursement check directly in the mail from your insurance company. This will help take away the stress of dealing with insurance paperwork.

How do I find out if I can get reimbursed by my insurance for sessions?

QUESTIONS TO ASK INSURANCE FOR OUT-OF-NETWORK REIMBURSEMENT:

Do I have out-of-network benefits for virtual psychotherapy services with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for procedure code 90834?

What portion of the amount I paid will I be reimbursed (what is my coinsurance)?

Do I have a deductible that must be met before insurance will reimburse me for my out-of-network sessions? If so, how much is it, and is it per individual or per family?

What is the procedure for obtaining reimbursement?

Please note that psychotherapy reimbursement rates vary by plan.

What are your fees?

My clients meet weekly or biweekly, depending on treatment needs and goals. Clients who have met their goals but want to maintain positive gains have the option to meet monthly.

A standard 45-50-minute psychotherapy session is billed at $250

Women's Groups: $90 per person per group session

Intensives: Please see my Intensives page for details and pricing

Do you offer a sliding scale for your services?

I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots for those experiencing true financial difficulty. However, those spots are currently filled by long-term clients.

Where can I find your forms?

My intake forms will be emailed to you through my secure portal, Simple Practice. They will include a detailed intake packet where you can give me all the details of what is bringing you to therapy and your goals. If there are details you would rather discuss when we meet, please let me know.

The intake packet will also include my practice policies and procedures. You can complete and sign your paperwork online and return it to me before our first session.

Does online therapy work as well as in-person therapy?

Research shows that online therapy is as effective in outcomes, client satisfaction, and symptom decrease as in-person therapy.

My experience using online therapy with my clients has been consistent with that research, and my clients tell me that it also takes the stress of commuting to an office out of the equation, making it easier to schedule into their busy lives.

I have also received special training to ensure I follow best practices regarding online therapy.

How do I know if you’re the right therapist for me?

I encourage you to check out my book, counseling FAQ, bio, free content, and other published writing to better understand my philosophy and approach. I also encourage you to set up a free consultation to talk and determine if we both feel it would be a good fit to work together.

I know how precious your time is. This is an invitation to become a person who makes their own personal support and growth non-negotiable. I invite you to give yourself the gift of consistency and a space to which you can take your whole self.

If we're not a good fit, I will provide you with free referral information for counselors I think would be a better match for you.

Please note that due to license regulations, my services are only available to clients in the state of New Jersey.
