Why do people go to therapy?
Some people come into therapy fully aware of a problem and simply need help in sorting through the issues. Others have a vague notion of something wrong and ask for help in clarifying the problem. When you enter into psychotherapy, you set out on a journey that has the potential to change your entire outlook on life.
What would we talk about?
Our discussion can touch on any number of topics, such as family dynamics, current relationships, coping strategies, challenging past experiences, and exploring the many avenues for personal growth and renewal.
How often will I need to come?
Some people need to meet only a few times
to resolve an issue, while others opt for more in depth work over a longer time period. Sessions can be scheduled during the day, in the evening, or on the weekend.
What is the fee?
My fee is $85 for a 50 minute session. I accept cash or checks, though I am unable to accept insurance at this time. I will work on a sliding scale based on the highest individual income in the home.
What about my Confidentiality concerns?
Clients often ask questions about how their rights as consumers of mental health services will be protected by the therapist and by applicable State and Federal laws. There is legal privilege in the State of New York protecting the confidentiality of the private information you share with me. As a licensed and certified professional, I strive to maintain the strictest ethical standards of confidentiality. Your privacy is important and is guarded with all legal limits. If you have questions about the limits of confidentiality, I will be glad to respond either by phone or in person.
