I find it helpful to conduct a brief, 15-minute phone consultation prior to scheduling an initial evaluation. That way I can hear about what you’ve been experiencing and what you’re looking for. That helps me get an initial sense of whether I might be a good match for you. It also provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have.

If, after an initial evaluation we decide to work together, I typically schedule weekly, 45-minute psychotherapy sessions. Treatment length is dependent on your goals and needs.

At this time, I am not affiliated with any commercial insurance companies. If you are interested in using your insurance, please contact your insurance company directly and inquire if they provide partial reimbursement for an out-of-network psychologist.

​If you have OON benefits, I can provide you with monthly paperwork (i.e., a superbill) to submit to them for reimbursement. Alternatively, you may also be able to use a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for therapy.

Here are the questions you can ask of your insurance company to get a sense of what your reimbursement may be:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits to see a licensed psychologist for outpatient psychotherapy?

• If so, will CPT codes 90834, 90837, and 90791 be reimbursed?

• Is there an annual deductible? Copay? Coinsurance?

• Is there an out-of-pocket max?

• How are out-of-network claims submitted?

• Are there any other rules, requirements, forms, or procedures that I should be aware of?

Please call for current session cost.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate,” in accordance with the No Surprises Act, explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Currently, under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

• Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 368-1019.

I am part of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), which enables me to provide telehealth services from NJ to clients in over 35 states.

PSYPACT is designed to facilitate the practice of telepsychology. It is an interstate compact which offers qualified psychologists who wish to practice in multiple states the ability to do so. In order to practice telepsychology in PSYPACT states, psychologists licensed in PSYPACT states only, can apply to the PSYPACT Commission for an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT). The PSYPACT Commission is the governing body of PSYPACT and is comprised of one representative from each PSYPACT state. More information regarding PSYPACT and its requirements can be found at www.psypact.org.
