Individual Therapy for Adults in New York & New Jersey

I provide individual therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves, navigate challenges with more ease, and create meaningful change.

My sessions are available in person in Manhattan or virtually for clients who reside in NY and NJ. 

Individual Therapy

My style is insight-oriented, warm, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when we’re not only addressing problems, but also deepening your self-understanding. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, evidence-based approaches, and a deep respect for your lived experience to help guide our work.

I strive to facilitate a supportive space where clients can express themselves openly and feel truly heard. We will work together to identify your goals, which may or may not shift throughout therapy. This allows for flexibility. Depending on your needs, we can work together for either short-term or long-term therapy. Sessions can be conducted in English or Russian.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Aetna is accepted in-network. I am out-of-network for other insurances. 

  • If your plan includes out-of-network mental health/behavioral health coverage, you may be able to have some or all of the cost of sessions covered. I can provide you with an invoice with the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance company. I know that insurance can sometimes feel daunting and I am happy to help with any questions that I can assist with.

    • Does my plan include mental health/behavioral health coverage? 

    • Do I have a deductible? If so, how much and has it been met yet by other medical expenses?

    • What is my co-insurance or copay? 

    • Does my coverage include an out-of-pocket maximum? 

  • Yes, I may be able to arrange a lower sliding scale fee for individuals experiencing financial barriers. Please contact me to discuss any questions regarding rates. 

  • I offer in-person sessions in my office near Union Square or by telehealth, virtually. We can discuss what works best for you. Sessions are typically held once a week for 45 minutes. Sometimes adjusting the frequency can be helpful.

    For example, sometimes meeting twice a week during a difficult time or for deepening the work can be beneficial. We can discuss this based on your needs.

  • I request at least 24 hours notice for cancellations to avoid being charged.
