Frequently asked questions

What can I expect when I come for an appointment?

I will meet you outside my office, invite you into my office and ask something like: How can I help? Hours, fees, and ancillary issues will be discussed later.

What if I feel you are not the doctor for me?

This work cannot proceed or be helpful without your assent and participation. I would do what I could to suggest alternative therapies or therapists who might be more suitable for you and your needs.

Will my information be confidential?

There is no way any psychotherapy or psychoanalysis can proceed without absolute anonymity. This information remains with me only. Insurers can require dates of service and diagnoses.

What if I cannot come to your office?

I admit my strong preference to in-office treatment, but I understand the world has changed so that we live in a seemingly on-line aquarium. I am open to meeting and treating individuals over Facetime, Zoom or Skype. The analytic experience can be partially mimicked by using a couch or camera facing away from mine.

How will I pay for the initial visit?

I take, checks, credit cards (Square) Venmo, cash or Zelle.
