Individual Psychotherapy

I am currently offering online psychotherapy in greater Washington DC (DC, Maryland, Virginia).

Clinical Consultation for Licensed Clinicians

I offer online clinical consultation to licensed mental health professionals interested in learning psychodynamic psychotherapy with a relational psychoanalytic approach. I have served as an adjunct clinical professor at Duquesne University, providing clinical supervision to Ph.D. students in Clinical Psychology. Please get in touch with me for details.

Helpful Information for clients

PSYPACT

I am licensed as a psychologist in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and I am authorized by PSYPACT to provide teletherapy to clients in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and PSYPACT participating states.

PSYPACT stands for Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. It is an agreement between certain states in the United States that allows licensed psychologists to practice across state lines without obtaining a separate license in each state. This compact makes it easier for psychologists to provide services to clients living in different states, especially when clients seek services remotely via telehealth.

Good Faith Estimate

I am an "out-of-network" provider if you plan to use insurance.  

What is “out of network”?

This means that you would pay me directly and then seek payment (reimbursement) from your insurance company with a receipt (called "Superbill") that I provide. This receipt (Superbill) contains all the necessary information for you to submit your claim directly to your insurance company.

For this to work, your insurance policy should include "out-of-network" coverage for psychotherapy. Please check with your insurance company, as the coverage varies (between 50-80% typically).

The questions you may want to ask your insurance company include:

  • Do I have out-of-network coverage? 

  • Do I have out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy via telehealth?  

  • What amount will I be reimbursed? (for CPT: 90791, 90837) 

  • Do I have a deductible for psychotherapy? How much is it, and has it been met? 

  • Do I need to obtain pre-authorization for psychotherapy? 

  • Is there a session limit per year?

Under the No Surprises Act, healthcare providers need to give clients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the expected cost of non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

You can ask your healthcare provider for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service or at any time during treatment.  

You can dispute the bill under the No Surprises Act under certain circumstances. Make sure to save a copy of your Good Faith Estimate.
