I offer 50 minute sessions at a rate of $250 per session.

No, I do not prescribe medications. Only physicians and psychiatrists can prescribe medications. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I focus on therapy and cannot prescribe any medications. However, I work closely with a panel of trusted psychiatrists who can provide medication management when needed. When appropriate, the combination of medication and therapy can be very effective in helping clients feel better.

I work with individuals 16 years of age and up.  I do not offer child therapy.

I accept cash, checks, debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay and all major credit cards.

No, However, we will provide you with an itemized invoice after each session that many of our clients then submit to their insurance carries for reimbursement.  The invoice will contain all the appropriate insurance codes and detailed information most carriers require.  It is recommended that you first check with your PPO carrier to determine what your "out-of-network provider" benefits are and plan accordingly.  Reimbursement is usually not available for HMO insurance policyholders.

Although your out-of-pocket expenses will be reduced, so will your privacy.  Information such as diagnosis, dates of service and charge will be sent to the insurance carrier.  Also, some insurers require additional information including the justification for treatment, a treatment plan, your capacity to benefit from treatment, and your ongoing response to treatment. Having this information included in your medical database is something you should carefully consider before utilizing your benefits. 

No, I do not work with couples. I specialize in working with individuals and refer couples to providers who focus on that area. However, I do work with individuals who have concerns about their relationships. It's not uncommon for someone to see me for individual therapy while also attending couples therapy with another provider

There are various state and federal laws that protect your confidentiality and all communications between a client and their psychologist.  No information will be disclosed without prior written permission from the client.  However, if a client submits receipts for services to their insurance provider, in order to obtain reimbursement for paid services, some information about treatment may be required by the insurance carrier.  There are a few special circumstances in which the law requires therapists to break confidentiality.  These situations include, suspected child abuse, suspected elder abuse, a client threating serious bodily harm to another person or group, a client endorsing plans to harm themselves, and a court order.

The confidentiality and privacy of all my clients is of paramount importance.  To safeguard confidentiality, I will never ask for a review, post a review/testimonial, or respond to a review in order to protect their privacy.
