FAQs
What insurances do you accept?
I am currently able to accept Aetna for virtual sessions with people located in the state of New York. I also accept this insurance for in-person sessions in Austin, TX. If you do not have Aetna, live in another area or elect not to meet in person, you would pay out-of-pocket for your sessions. However, I can offer you a monthly bill to provide your insurance company for out-of-network benefits.
How often are sessions?
We will likely begin by meeting once a week. However, good therapy depends on meeting consistently and often. Therefore, it would be beneficial to meet more often. We will work together to determine if this makes sense for you - both emotionally and economically.
How much are sessions?
My out-of-pocket fee is $180 per weekly session. If you elect to meet more often, we can negotiate a lower per-session fee.
Are you currently holding sessions in person?
Yes, I am currently meeting in person in a socially distanced office setting. I encourage meeting in person but am able to accommodate virtual sessions on a case-by-case basis.
Is your office LGBTQIA+ friendly?
Yes. The ethics of psychoanalysis are clear: One in analysis should work towards clarifying their own desire without interference. It is the responsibility of the analyst to encourage each on this path. My role would never be to persuade anyone to desire differently given their sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.
Do you prescribe medication?
No, as a clinical psychologist I am licensed for talk therapy. For medication, you should consult a psychiatrist or primary care physician.
