Many people wonder whether their struggles are “serious enough” for therapy. In reality, therapy isn’t only for moments of crisis. People often seek therapy when they feel stuck in patterns, overwhelmed by stress, or curious about understanding themselves more deeply.

The first step is a free consultation. We’ll talk briefly about what’s bringing you to therapy, you can ask any questions you have about how I work, and we’ll see whether it feels like a good fit. You can schedule a consultation here.

Individual sessions are $250 for 45 minutes, and couples sessions are $280 for 55 minutes. A limited number of sliding scale spots are available, so please ask if cost is a concern.

I’m an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t bill insurance directly. Many PPO and POS plans reimburse 60–80% of the fee once your deductible is met. You can check your out-of-network benefits using this Mentaya benefits checker.

Why out-of-network?
Working outside insurance means your care isn’t shaped by an insurance company. Your insurer doesn’t set limits on how many sessions you have or review your treatment. If you pay privately without seeking reimbursement, no diagnosis or clinical information goes to your insurer at all. If you do submit for reimbursement, your superbill includes a diagnosis code, which we can talk about together.

How does reimbursement work?

1. Your card is charged automatically after each session.

2. At the end of each month, I send you a superbill, an itemized receipt your insurer needs.

3. You submit it through your insurance company’s website or app.

4. Your insurer reimburses you directly for the covered amount.

I provide online therapy for individuals, couples, and teens throughout New York State and Florida.

For those in NYC, I offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid sessions. To maintain clinical consistency, we will typically establish one of these as our primary modality. Many of the people I work with are located in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Most clients meet weekly for 45-minute sessions. Meeting at the same time each week gives the work continuity, so we can build on what came up last time instead of starting over.

For people interested in deeper psychoanalytic work, I also offer sessions two or more times a week. Meeting more often lets us stay closer to what’s happening as it unfolds. We can talk about what frequency makes sense for you.

Yes. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential. I am legally and ethically bound to protect your privacy. There are limited exceptions required by law — if there is a risk of serious harm to you or someone else, or in cases of suspected abuse of a child or vulnerable adult. These exceptions are rare, and I will always discuss confidentiality with you at the start of our work together so you know exactly where the boundaries are.

Yes. I work with clients across a range of backgrounds, and I have particular familiarity with the family dynamics and cultural expectations that often come up in Jewish and/or Middle Eastern households — generational guilt, conditional approval, and pressure around achievement or tradition among them.
