Where is your office located?
21-18 23rd Drive
Astoria, NY 11105
Plenty of parking, easily accessible by bus, and just a 10-minute walk from the subway.
1165 Northern Blvd.
Manhasset, NY 11030
Parking is also in abundance and easily accessible by bus. The office is located directly across from Macy’s which has a Starbucks inside, just in case you feel the need for a hot cup of coffee, before or after the session.
Both locations are Handicap Friendly.
How long is each session?
Typical sessions are 45 minutes in length, regardless if the session is in office, over the phone, or via Facetime. However, this is not written in stone. If circumstances arise, session times are extended accordingly.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, all major credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, and Chase Quick Pay.
What is your cancellation policy?
For cancellation, I require advance notice of 24 – 48 hours. Any cancellation after 24 hours is charged the full session fee. However, sometimes things happen that are simply out of our control.
If you need to cancel last minute and can’t make it to the office, a phone or FaceTime session is optional.
If the time just doesn’t work altogether, we can reschedule during that same week at a time that works out best for both of us.
Is therapy really for me?
I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. Some treatments take longer than others, but at the end of the day the simple act of talking about what’s bottled up inside can make all the difference in the world.
Why can’t I just talk to family and friends? Isn’t that the same thing?
Talking to family and friends is great and can be very helpful. However, therapy is your safe space where you are free to share anything – you know… the things that you normally keep hidden from those closest to you.
It is these issues that need the most attention and which yield the most growth and change when unpacked, as I like to say.
Are there any other requirements?
Yes, the only thing that I ask and stress is that you are fully committed to doing the work. Only then will we be able to make the changes necessary to achieve the results you deserve!
What areas do you mostly treat/specialize in?
My focuses are anxiety and depression. I also specialize in eating disorders and the treatment of OCD – where anxiety and depression often are prevalent.
What are your populations for therapy?
I work with teens, young adults, and adults.
Do you do couples/marriage counseling?
Yes!
Do you provide documentation for Emotional Support Animals specifically with regards to flying and or residential approval?
Yes, if deemed necessary following an evaluation, appropriate documentation is provided in support of traveling/living with an ESA.
Will I receive a full customized meal plan if I choose to participate in Keto Nutrition Counseling?
Yes, everyone receives a unique customized meal plan that we will work with and modify as sessions continue. In addition, a workout regime that goes hand in hand with the meal plan is provided and customized for you as well.
Will I be allowed to eat/drink during session?
You would be surprised how many times I get asked this question. The answer is always a resounding yes, as long as it makes you feel more comfortable!
