    Payment Options: We accept all major credit cards as well as HSA/FSA debit cards. For your convenience, we ask that a card be kept on file and payments are processed automatically at the end of your session.

    Sliding Scale: Julie currently has one sliding scale spot available on her caseload.

  • We are an out-of-network practice, which means we are not contracted with insurance companies and do not bill insurance directly.

    However, many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits. This means your insurance company may reimburse you for a portion of each session fee after you’ve paid.

    Many clients are reimbursed 60 - 90% of the session fee once their out of network deductible is met. We can either submit claims on your behalf or provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.

    Visit our Fees & Insurance page to learn more and instantly check your out of network benefits. You can even estimate your cost per session using our free insurance benefits calculator!

  • Both Julie and Amanda offer in person and virtual sessions, with varying weekday availability.

    In Person Sessions: We offer in person sessions at our modern Midtown Manhattan office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

    While we’re licensed in New York, we’re happy to see clients in person who may live in New Jersey or Connecticut and travel to New York for work (or for therapy).

    Virtual Sessions: We also offer virtual therapy through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Per licensing laws, clients must be physically located in New York State for virtual sessions.

    Hours and Availability: Sessions are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Availability varies, so feel free to reach out to ask about our current openings.

  • The first step is to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation call. You can book that directly through our online calendar here.

    This is a chance for us to briefly connect and make sure it feels like a good fit. During the call:

    • We’ll ask what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’re hoping to work on.

    • We’ll share more about our approach and how we typically structure sessions.

    • We’ll review practical details like fees, insurance, and availability.

    • You’ll have space to ask any questions you have.

    If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session and send over any remaining paperwork.

    We want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident moving forward.

  • Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and make sure it feels like a good fit.

    We’ll briefly review your intake paperwork, including important policies and how your privacy is protected. From there, the focus is on you; what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what your goals for therapy are.

    We’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your life experiences and patterns, and we’ll listen with empathy and without judgment.

    If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule our next session.

    Therapy is a space where you can vent, gain new perspectives, challenge old patterns, and build practical tools. It can feel relieving, insightful, and sometimes uncomfortable — all at the same time.

  • We usually recommend starting with weekly sessions while we’re getting to know each other. That’s often the best frequency to see noticeable progress.

    As you reach your therapeutic goals, we can space sessions out to every other week or even once a month.

  • We kindly ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session. If less notice is given, you are responsible for the full session fee.

    We understand that life happens, so every client gets one “freebie.” If you give less than 24 hours notice, you won’t be charged the first time. After that, the policy applies as normal.

    If you’re running late to a session, just let us know. Please note that arriving more than 15 minutes late may require rescheduling and being charged the full session fee.

  • The length of therapy is different for everyone and depends on your goals, the patterns we’re working on, and the level of support you’re looking for.

    Some clients come in with a specific challenge and benefit from short-term, focused work over a few months. Others choose longer term therapy to explore deeper patterns, strengthen self trust, and create lasting change.

    We’ll regularly check in about your progress and make collaborative decisions about pacing and frequency. Therapy isn’t open ended by default, it’s intentional and tailored to what feels helpful and effective for you.
