Coverage for psychotherapy varies among insurance providers. I recommend contacting your provider to confirm the specifics of your coverage. This will help you understand how your therapy sessions can be financially managed.
The journey through therapy is unique to each individual and can vary in length. It depends on your personal circumstances, the complexities of the issues you’re facing, your goals, and the therapeutic approach we decide on together. We will continuously tailor our sessions to suit your evolving needs.
To respect the time and schedules of all my clients, I require a 48-hour notice for cancellations. Without such notice, the full fee for the session will be charged. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Unfortunately, my office is not wheelchair accessible, as it is located above street level and involves navigating approximately 19 stairs. If this presents a difficulty, please reach out. I am committed to making therapy accessible and can offer sessions via secure video or telephone to accommodate your needs.
Choosing the right therapist is a vital part of your therapeutic journey. Consider factors such as the therapeutic approaches you might resonate with (such as CBT, psychodynamic, or relational therapy), the therapist’s specialties, logistical factors like location and cost, and your comfort level during initial consultations. Feeling understood and comfortable with your therapist is crucial for effective therapy.
Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes long, and couples sessions are 60 minutes. This timing is designed to provide the most benefit within a focused period.
Confidentiality and your privacy are my utmost priorities. I use PHIPA-compliant software systems to ensure all personal information and communication are securely managed and protected.
