Do you accept insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider which means I do not accept insurance in-network. However, you still may be able to use your insurance benefits to receive some reimbursement for sessions. Click here to learn more.
Serious Mental Health Condition Information.
According to NYS Licensed Professions, “the Education Law and Regents Rules specify that it is unprofessional conduct for a creative arts therapist, marriage and family therapist, mental health counselor, or psychoanalyst to provide any mental health service for a serious mental illness on a continuous and sustained basis without a medical evaluation of the illness by, and consultation with, a physician regarding such illness.” Read more here to learn about which Mental Health Diagnoses falls under this criteria.
Based on this information, in order to receive services, I may need to be in contact with a psychiatrist or MD for treatment consultation. This will be determined during our initial consultation call.
