I offer in-person sessions in my office, located in Rosemont Plaza in Bryn Mawr. The building is ADA compliant. There is outdoor free parking, and it is conveniently located one block from the Septa Rosemont train station.

Some of my clients prefer online therapy. Telepsychology is a convenient way to engage in therapy for individuals who have demanding work hours, who do not live close to my office, who have an illness that makes it difficult to travel, or who simply find it more convenient. Some clients engage in therapy through a combination of in-person and telepsychology sessions. My platform is through a patient portal, and is HIPAA compliant.

I am a fee-for-service clinician and do not take insurance. I am able to provide a bill of service, called a Superbill, if you wish to submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement for out-of-network providers. To find out if your insurance will reimburse you, please contact your insurance company directly.

During our first appointment we will get to know each other and explore in more depth some of what we discussed during our initial phone consultation. This is an opportunity for you to see what it is like to talk to me and we will go at a pace that is comfortable for you. We will discuss goals and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I may even explain the methods I use and provide some impressions of what I think could be helpful for you.

Most clients start at once per week or once every other week. The length of therapy depends on a few factors, such as the issues being addressed as well as your specific needs and goals. With CBT, most clients experience some symptom relief within the first few sessions as we continue to explore deeper, more chronic issues. As you start to feel better, we will discuss whether you wish to continue, or to phase out of, therapy.

A Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a document that outlines the expected costs of your therapy. It includes an estimate of expected number of sessions, cost per session, frequency of sessions, and any anticipated additional fees such as consultations. The GFE can help you make an informed decision about your care. However, this is only an estimate, and the actual number of sessions or total costs may change depending on the course of treatment.
