• Do you take insurance?

I am currently in-network for Point32 (Tufts, Harvard Pilgrim) Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, Oscar Health, Oxford, United Healthcare and Carelon Behavioral Health. If you have other insurance, I am an out-of-network provider, which means you pay for your session at the time of service. I can then 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 a good outcome 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 working with people who are dealing with unusually high levels of stress. This includes, but is not limited to, grieving the loss of a loved one, chronic illness, 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, infertility, abortion, and addiction (opioids, alcohol, gambling, work, sugar, pornography….).

I was a resident dean at Harvard University for over 10 years where I provided academic and social support to thousands of students. I have a PhD from Harvard, and I’m very comfortable working with a wide range of people, including high achievers, academics, and analytically-minded people.

I help people in their relationships through insight oriented psychotherapy informed by Internal Family Systems, and I have trained in couples work with Stan Tatkin’s Psychobiological Approach to Couple’s Therapy (PACT)

I can also aid in psychedelic preparation and integration and I have a lot of experience with non ordinary states of consciousness. I’ve trained for 7 years in healing inherited family trauma through The Constellation Approach.
