Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions to help you understand more about my practice and what to expect from our sessions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out!

Where are you licensed to practice?

I am licensed to practice therapy in both New York and New Jersey. This allows me to provide telehealth services to clients located in either state, ensuring that you receive the support you need regardless of your location within these areas.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance, however, upon request, I will provide you with a receipt/superbill.

What can I expect during my first therapy session?

During your first therapy session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding your goals for therapy. I will ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have about the therapy process. The goal is to create a comfortable, safe space where you feel heard and understood.

How long will therapy take?

The length of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Some clients find significant relief and progress in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. During our sessions, we will regularly review your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. The goal is to ensure that you are moving towards your desired outcomes at a pace that feels right for you.

What if I don’t feel comfortable discussing certain topics?

It’s completely normal to feel hesitant about discussing certain topics, especially in the beginning. My approach is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk about whatever you feel comfortable with at your own pace. Over time, as trust builds, many clients find it easier to open up about more difficult issues. Your comfort and readiness are always the priority, and we will go at a pace that feels right for you.

How do I know if therapy is working?

Progress in therapy can be measured in various ways, such as improvements in mood, changes in behavior, better coping strategies, and enhanced relationships. We will set specific goals at the beginning of our work together and regularly review them to track your progress. You might notice positive changes in how you feel, think, and interact with others. Open communication about your experiences and feelings during therapy will also help ensure that we are on the right track.
