FAQ

I am available for telehealth sessions in my home office. I have limited availability for appointment only, in-person sessions in Delray Beach and Boca Raton, Florida.

In-person Locations:

Boca Raton

Parking at both locations is free and available around the buildings.

Please inform me if you are sick; we can reschedule or do telehealth. If you feel well enough to come in but are coughing, please wear a mask.

The first session is about getting to know you, and you getting to know me, and feeling comfortable with the process.

I want to know what has motivated you to seek therapy; the more I know your story, the better able I am to provide help.

It depends on what type of therapy you are seeking.

Couples should expect the first few sessions to be 90 minutes. After the 3rd or 4th session, they will be 50 minutes unless the couple requests longer sessions.

Individuals should expect 50 to 55 minute sessions.

Longer sessions can be scheduled and are recommended for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy), but these sessions MUST be scheduled in advance.

Some people say they begin to feel better after the first session, and for some it takes longer.

Some issues such as complex trauma will take longer to treat.

For couples, the Gottman Method timeline varies depending on that on which you both want to work. The first 3 or 4 sessions are dedicated to assessment.

Usually you will come more at first (1-2 times a week depending on your level of concern or distress).

Then, as you feel better your sessions will taper to once a week to once every other week.

This gives you the chance to try the skills and techniques that you learn in session in your daily life.

I accept insurance through third party companies such as Alma and Headway. I accept only these insurance plans: Optum, UHC, Oscar, UMR, and Aetna, and Cigna and Evernorth. BCBS of Massachusetts (telehealth only). Eligibility must be verified prior to the appointment.  I do not accept any insurance for couples counseling, it available private pay only.

You’ll be asked to fill out payment type in the client portal before your visit. Payment is taken the day of your session. Please sign up for Autopay when fill out your payment information.

In-person sessions are by appointment only. Post-Covid many therapists have gone completely to telehealth. I offer limited in-person appointments.  I book space at the location you choose. It’s paramount that you tell me about a cancellation 24 hours in advance so that I can cancel the booking. I have a strict policy that requires a 24-hour notice for cancellations and reschedules. If you don’t provide 24 hours’ notice for cancelling or rescheduling an appointment, I get charged for your booking. Accordingly, there is a mandatory charge for the booking when you are no show/late cancellation fee.

Couples

Strained relationships or strengthening partnerships. Let’s work on communication strategies, building intimacy, developing coping skills

Individuals

Tired of being tired? Feeling emotionally drained, stuck, anxious? I use a faceted approach that helps with issues caused mostly by ‘thinking’ problems. I use EMDR therapy and work with ego states, and CBT to help clients who suffer with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, addictions, disassociation and more.

Gender Identity

Individuals with gender dysphoria and with individuals who are along the spectrum of gender expression and identity. Your diversity is beautiful, and you should be celebrated for being the awesome person you are; but it’s all so confusing too, right? You’ll need internal resources that keep you resilient in the face of adversity, but you need external resources too, like friends, and places where you feel accepted. I’m here to help you with that resourcing, help you with trauma you’ve experienced along your journey, and help you explore the you that you were born to be. 

You aren’t broken! You can change distorted beliefs and give you a more adaptive and resilient thought process. I am here to help you with any struggles you face; you want to be heard; not fixed.

How long have you suffered with anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, etc.? Change takes time but it’s not forever and it’s up to you for how long you want to work on empowering yourself.
