Question 1

How do I get started with you?

Accepted Answer

Therapy is a partnership. For therapy to be successful, I need to feel that I can help you. You have to feel that I am the right therapist for you or your family member. When we first meet, we will get to know each other and decide if I am the right therapist for you.
 
Please leave a confidential voicemail at (781) 507-3421 or send me a secure email through this website. I’ll contact you to set up a time to talk by phone before setting up an initial appointment. If we decide to set up an appointment, I’ll send you a link to my secure Client Portal via my electronic health records program, Theranest. You complete the registration paperwork and some history forms through the portal, and return them prior to the first online appointment. I’ll send you a link to the online session prior to each session.

IMPORTANT:  Per licensing laws, I can work only with people who are in the state of Massachusetts, even online.

Question 2

What are your office hours?

Accepted Answer

Generally I have office hours Tuesday through Thursday by appointment.  
 
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays,  the appointments are online.  On Thursdays, I have an office in West Concord, Massachusetts for in-person appointments.

Question 3

How long are appointments?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are 45 minutes in length, unless we make other arrangements.

Question 4

Can you make referrals to other professionals?

Accepted Answer

Part of my job is to help you get all the help you or your family members need. If necessary, I will do my best to refer you to trusted colleagues for educational testing, speech and language services, nutrition counseling, other forms of therapy or medical evaluations.

Question 5

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am not a provider for any insurance plans.

Many people get reimbursement through out-of-network benefits or submit to their flexible spending accounts.
 
I provide you with an itemized receipt, called a Superbill, to submit to your insurance company or flexible spending account for possible reimbursement.  It is up to you check with your insurance company to see if you have "out-of-network" benefits or will receive reimbursement for the sessions.
 
Private Pay Fee:  $250 per session.  Sessions are 45 minutes in length unless other arrangements are made.
 
While paying for therapy may seem like an unnecessary or unreachable expense, remember that you are investing in the mental health and well-being of yourself or your family. This is an investment that can pay off for generations to come.

Question 6

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

You pay by credit card or a flexible spending account card if you have one.  When you complete the registration forms through the secure portal, you supply one of these options.  After I bill the card, I send you the Superbill (receipt).

Question 8

What if I have other questions?
