Question 1

What types of symptoms and challenges do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health symptoms and challenges to support your overall well-being.  Therapeutic services include assisting with anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma-related issues.  Additionally, I help clients navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and grief or loss. My approach is personalized to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that you receive the most effective and compassionate care possible. Whether you're experiencing acute symptoms or looking for support in managing long-term challenges, I am here to assist you on your path to mental wellness.

Question 2

What therapeutic approaches and modalities are you trained in, and what do you utilize most often?

Accepted Answer

I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches to cater to the diverse needs of my patients. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Among these, I most often utilize an integration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic therapy, due to their evidence-based effectiveness in treating a range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.  The structured, goal-oriented natures of CBT, alongside the potential for such a depth of awareness with Psychodynamic work make them an excellent pair. Each session is tailored to the individual, ensuring that the chosen modality aligns with their specific goals and circumstances, thus fostering a supportive and effective therapeutic environment.

Question 3

Do you offer tele-therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

In today's largely digitalized and disconnected world, my preference is to treat with and get to know my patients in the office.  I find that once the logistical hurdles are jumped, most people tend to prefer the experience as well.  That said, virtual tele-therapy is of course an available option for those that cannot make it into the office. Legally, all of my patients must reside in NYS.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

As a clinician at The Talk Suite, I am an out-of-network therapist.  It might be possible for you to take advantage of out-of-network benefits if you submit an invoice or Superbill (which I can produce for you) to your insurance provider.

Question 5

What is the cost of therapy?

Accepted Answer

Fees are determined on an individual basis, between patient and therapist. My general rate is $150/session, though a sliding scale is available to accommodate challenging financial circumstances.
