• Do you take insurance?

I am currently in-network for Cigna and Aetna. If you have other insurance, I am an out-of-network provider, which means you pay for your session at the time of service and I can provide you with a document called a superbill that you submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement.

If you want to use your insurance benefits, I recommend that you contact your insurance provider to ask what they reimburse for out-of-network providers before we meet. Some insurance plans do not cover out-of-network providers at all, and some plans might require that you meet a certain deductible before coverage begins. Reimbursement rates vary and are sometimes based on what kind of license your provider has. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). It’s worth noting that in order to use insurance, you must meet the criteria for a DSM-5 diagnosis.  Read about the No Surprises Act here. You are entitled to a good faith estimate of how much your treatment will cost.

• What are your fees?

My fees if you are not using insurance are $175 per 55-minute session;  $250 85-minute session.

• Do you do a free consultation?

I offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation in order to see if we might be a good fit. Research on psychotherapy outcomes has shown that the greatest predictor of good outcomes in therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and the therapist. If it seems like we aren’t a match, I can refer you to another therapist who might be a better fit. 

• Do you do telehealth?

Yes. I do most sessions over a telehealth platform from a home office. Sometimes when weather and schedules permit, I meet with clients to walk in nature together for the session.

• What are your areas of specialty?

I specialize in psychedelic preparation and integration, healing inherited family trauma through The Constellation Approach, and helping people find greater peace within themselves and their relationships.

I have experience working with people resolve emotional pain due to many circumstances including trauma from childhood sexual abuse, childhood physical abuse, childhood neglect, domestic violence (both as the perpetrator and as as the victim), near death experiences (both ecstatic and terrifying), death of a child, pregnancy loss, abortion, addiction (opioids, alcohol, gambling, work, sugar, pornography….) and eating disorders.

I was a resident dean at Harvard University for over 10 years where I provided academic and social supports to thousands of students. I have a PhD from Harvard and I’m very comfortable working with high achievers, academics and highly analytical people. I worked at Harvard’s Bureau of Study Counsel where I helped students with issues around learning, procrastination, prioritization, motivation, meaning and purpose, and I have a lot of experience helping people with ADHD prioritize, manage their attention, organize their calendars/emails and use strategies for getting things done.
