Please call my office to discuss your situation and what you are looking for in a psychologist.  We will discuss the therapeutic process, and assess whether you feel that we would be a good fit.  Following that, you will need to complete the required paperwork (see the “Forms” page of this website), before the first session.  We are available to discuss any questions you may have about the paperwork.

The first session will include an evaluation of your needs and a framework for our work together, including a proposed treatment plan and overview of office policies. The first session is also a time for you to ask me questions.

Yes, we offer daytime and evening appointments to fit with your individual requirements. Please state your preference when booking your initial appointment.

You are welcome to reschedule or cancel your appointment up to 24 hours in advance of your appointment, at no charge.  After that, I must charge you for the full session, as I do not have sufficient time to schedule another client.

We accept cash, check, credit/debit card, Paypal, Venmo and a wide range of commercial insurance.  See the “Payment” page of this website.

Once we have begun working together, you may only contact me via email or text for two reasons: (i) either to schedule, reschedule or cancel an appointment, or (ii) in the event of an emergency.  Any other communication – simply to vent frustration, relay a story, or ask my opinion – is not acceptable and is a prohibited form of communication under the American Psychological Association professional code of ethics.

No. Therapy is a one-way street. Therapists know a great deal about their patients, but patients do not know intimate details about the therapist. Because of this, the therapist often seems to have a greater power or influence over the individual, which could result in abuse or deception.  This does not mean that one cannot have any contact with the therapist outside of the therapy situation.
