To schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation, please send us an email or call us at 212-210-6372.
The purpose of the phone consultation is to understand what you are looking for from therapy. We will also answer any questions you may have, and discuss fees and scheduling. At the end of the consultation, we will provide recommendations for next steps. If we mutually agree that it is a good fit, we will schedule an initial assessment session with one of our providers.
We will send you a registration packet via our secure online system, SimplePractice. You will also use this system to sign in for your video appointments. The registration packet includes intake questionnaires and consent forms. We recommend completing these as early as possible so that your providers have sufficient time to review them before your meeting.
The initial assessment session is scheduled for one hour. During this session, we will learn more about your history, current concerns, and treatment goals. We will share our impressions and recommendations, create a personalized treatment plan, and schedule regular ongoing sessions.
The initial assessment is a time for us to get to know each other and decide if we are a good fit. We encourage you to consider whether you feel comfortable working with us. Additionally, we will ensure that we are the best providers to help you. If not, we will connect you with another provider whose expertise aligns with your needs.
Ongoing therapy sessions are 45 minutes long. We typically see patients once or twice weekly. The overall duration of your treatment depends on your presenting problems and treatment goals. A typical course of treatment lasts from six months to two years, with the first four to six months consisting of weekly sessions. It is important to continuously monitor progress toward your goals and reevaluate treatment duration if necessary.
We prefer to set a weekly appointment time. However, if this does not work for you, we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.
