FAQ'S

Here Are Some FAQ'S

1. What will occur in my first session?
A. The purpose of the first session is two-fold: to gather as much information as I can and also as an initial opportunity for us to get to know each other and the possibility of working together. The intake process can take another session or two.
2. When can I expect feedback?
A. Although I can provide preliminary feedback after the first session, I prefer to wait for 3 to 5 sessions at which point I will have a much stronger sense of the issues involved and I can therefore provide better feedback.
3. How long will therapy take?
A. After 10 to 12 sessions we should have an idea of some progress and can plan accordingly. We will then review goals and if warranted set new ones. The short answer to the question is a few months to a few years. 
4. How often will I need to come in? 
A. Generally, I see people weekly. In some cases twice a week if both of us agree that would be helpful. After a while and/or at the end I typically see people every other week.
5. Do you accept insurance? 
A. Regrettably I do not. However many insurance companies have out of network benefits that, after a deductible amount, cover most of my fee. The New York State Health Insurance Plan (NYSHIP) that covers most teachers and all State Employees is one such plan. I also have a billing person that will submit insurance claims weekly to expedite payments.
