“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”

-William James (1842-1910)

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is your office?
My office is at 276 Fifth Ave Suite 507-A in Manhattan, which is located on Fifth Ave and 30th Street. It is convenient to all trains stopping at 28th St or 34th St.

What are your hours?

I am in the office on Mondays through Fridays. If you call me, I’ll get back to you in as timely a manner as possible; evening calls may not be returned until the next day. You can also e-mail me.

What are your fees? What if I have to cancel?
My fees are in line with those of other private practitioners in Manhattan, and are payable by check, cash, or credit card at time of treatment. Cancelled sessions need to be paid for, although I will make every effort to reschedule within the same week, if that’s possible.

Will my insurance cover my treatment costs?
I provide treatment on an out-of-network basis, which is often covered in part by insurance companies; you should contact your insurer to ask if you have coverage. I can also provide monthly statements of your therapy charges for you to submit directly along with your claims.

Is treatment tax-deductible?
Costs for therapy and transportation to and from sessions often qualify as tax deductions. Contact your tax advisor or the IRS.

Is patient information confidential?
Yes. A sense of security is essential to successful therapy. Because I am independent from managed health-care organizations and insurance companies, I'm not required to routinely divulge sensitive information about my patients.
