Getting started should not be the hardest part. Here is exactly what happens between clicking "book" and your first session — including where the money comes into it.
-
A free 15-minute consultation
Book online or call. We talk about what is going on, I answer your questions about how I work, and we decide together whether I am the right fit. No charge, no obligation, and no pressure to book anything at the end of it.
-
I verify your insurance benefits
Before your first full session I check your behavioural health benefits directly and tell you what your copay will be. You will know the number in advance rather than finding it out from a bill six weeks later.
-
A secure video link, and we begin
You get a link to a HIPAA-compliant video room by email. There is no app to install and no account to create — you click it at the appointment time. After that we schedule your ongoing sessions directly between us.
Insurance and fees
I am in network with twelve New Jersey plans, so for most people online therapy costs the same as a regular copay. If you do not see your plan, it is still worth asking — out-of-network reimbursement is often available.

Not sure you are covered? I will check your benefits for you.
Coverage, copays and deductibles vary from plan to plan. I verify your benefits before your first session so you know what you will owe in advance, rather than finding out from a bill afterwards.
Online sessions are covered like in-person ones
New Jersey law requires insurers to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as an equivalent in-person visit (P.L. 2021, c.310, in force through at least July 2026). In practice that means choosing online therapy should not cost you more than sitting in a waiting room would have.
Before you book
How quickly can I get an appointment?
I reply to new enquiries within one business day, and consultations are usually available within the same week. Because the practice is online there is no waiting on a room to be free, which tends to make the first appointment quicker to arrange than an in-person practice can manage. If you need to be seen urgently, say so in your message and I will tell you honestly whether I can help on that timescale or whether you would be better served elsewhere.
What hardware and software do I need?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and a reasonably steady internet connection — that is genuinely it. There is no app to download and no account to create: you get a secure link by email and click it at the appointment time. Headphones are worth having, both for privacy and because they make it easier to hear each other. The main thing to plan is a room where you will not be overheard.
Are there out-of-pocket costs if you accept my insurance?
Usually a copay, and sometimes a deductible if you have not yet met it for the year. The amount depends on your specific plan, which is exactly why I verify your benefits before your first session and tell you the number upfront. New Jersey law also requires insurers to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as an equivalent in-person visit, so choosing online sessions should not cost you more than sitting in a waiting room would have.
What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Life happens, and rescheduling is straightforward — just let me know as early as you reasonably can and we will find another slot. Late cancellations and missed appointments are treated differently, because that hour is held for you and cannot be offered to anyone else at short notice. The exact notice window and fee are set out in the paperwork you sign before your first session, and I will walk you through it then so nothing is a surprise.
