Frequently Asked Questions

I offer appointments Monday through Thursday from 10am to 5pm.

I offer in-person sessions in Roslindale, MA, and virtual sessions for people located in MA and RI. For some busy professionals, a hybrid approach—meeting in person some weeks and virtually others—works best.

Online therapy works much like meeting in person, except that we connect by secure video. At the time of your appointment, you’ll use a link to join me on a HIPAA-compliant video platform from a private space where you feel comfortable talking.

Research suggests that for many common concerns, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, therapy by video can be just as effective as meeting in person.

You’ll need to be physically located in Massachusetts or Rhode Island during our session because of professional licensing requirements. Many people appreciate the flexibility of meeting online, particularly when travel, work, or family responsibilities make getting to an office difficult.

My current fees are:

45-minute session: $275
60-minute session: $325
75-minute session: $460
90-minute session: $550

Most people meet with me for either 45 or 60 minutes; longer sessions can be useful when we want more time for focused work on an issue we’ve identified together.

I require a card on file before our first appointment and accept all major credit cards, as well as HSA/FSA cards.

I am not in-network with insurance companies, so payment is due the day of your session. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, however, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement from your insurance company.

I’ll provide you with a monthly statement, sometimes called a superbill, that you can submit for reimbursement, if you are eligible through your plan.

If you’d like to find out what your plan covers before scheduling, I’ve put together a guide to the questions to ask your insurance company so you can get a clearer idea of what therapy with me would cost you. Use this guide to contact your insurance company.

After our free 15-minute consultation, we’ll schedule a 60-minute first session. I’ll want to learn more about what brings you to therapy, what has been difficult lately, and anything about your history or current life that feels important for me to understand.

You don’t need to arrive with a clear explanation for why you feel or respond the way you do, and you won’t be expected to tell me everything at once. We’ll begin getting curious together about what is happening and what might be helpful, while also paying attention to how it feels for us to work together.

If either of us has a sense that I’m not the right therapist for you, I’m happy to help with referrals when I can.

I reserve your time just for you. I ask that you cancel or reschedule your appointment at least 48 hours notice in advance. The full session fee applies for appointments canceled or rescheduled later than 48 hours before the appointment time.

That depends on your goals and what feels like a workable pace for you. Some people find they can make the progress they hoped for on an issue or problem that is limited in scope within a few months, while others find that having a trusted guide over a period of years gets them where they want to go.
