Therapy provides a safe environment to develop a therapeutic alliance that will allow me to work with you to discover what issues, past and present, prevent you from experiencing happiness and satisfaction.

You can expect each session to be about 53 minutes. The number of sessions is determined by the client’s needs.

If you miss one session there is no charge.  Second and subsequent cancellations will be charged a $50.00 fee

Will my insurance cover our sessions? How much does therapy cost?

I practice in both Florida and Connecticut. I take Aetna, Oscar, United Healthcare, and Oxford Health. For all other plans I am out of network and my fee is $150 per session.

Insurance is billed  after each session.  If you are private pay the fee is due at the end of the session. If you are out of network, a superbill will be sent via email within a week of the session.

PTSD

There are many causes of PTSD.  One of the most well known is the after effect of going through a wartime experience that accompanies military member when he or she returns home.  Fear and anxiety can feel as severe as when the initial occurrence happened.  Paralyzing fear and horrific dreams can have severe consequences when soldiers return home and attempt to resume their former life.  Childhood PTSD can be a result of physical or sexual abuse as well as neglect. But, this disorder can be prompted by any event that causes extreme fear and discomfort.

ADHD
Bipolar

Are there days when you feel like you are “on top of the world” and can make no mistakes?  Do you make risky business decisions, spend more than you can afford and engage in sexual promiscuity?

 

Bipolar Disorder is characterized by extreme highs and lows that cannot be explained by environmental factors.  

Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that can result in a number of persistent issues, such as "difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior", according to the Mayo Clinic. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems.
