My Services

Virtual/Internet Therapy

It may be called telepsychology, web therapy, internet therapy or virtual psychotherapy, but all are names for mental health services provided via videoconferencing within a secure network.

Therapeutic & Forensic Evaluation

A forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) is a psychological evaluation that has been ordered by a judge, requested by an attorney, or required by an employer or state agency.  A therapeutic assessment is also a psychological evaluation (employing psychological testing), but it is for the purpose of diagnostic clarification and treatment planning, and is usually requested by another mental health professional.

Expert Witness Services

An expert witness is a person who is permitted to testify at a trial or deposition because of special knowledge or proficiency in a particular field that is relevant to the case.  I provide expert witness services in the following areas: evaluation of competency to stand trial; assessment of mental status at the time of an alleged criminal act; risk assessment & recommendations for treatment/sentencing; determination of whether an juvenile is amenable to treatment or should be sentenced as an adult; assessment of psychological/emotional damages in civil cases; fitness for duty (FFD) evaluations; threat assessments; and evaluations for immigration & asylum.

Diagnostic Evaluation

$200

The initial 50-minute session is designed to gather pertinent history and make beginning treatment recommendations.  This may require more than one session but usually involves a single meeting.

Psychological Assessment
Therapeutic assessments are charged at the rate of $225 hour plus the cost of any computer scoring of psychological tests.  Contact me to get more specific information about the purpose and processes involved in therapeutic evaluations.  Insurance is not accepted for these type of evaluations.

Individual Therapy

$200

50-minute psychotherapy session for adults or adolescents always on Zoom.

Parenting Coaching/Family Therapy/Other Consultations

$225

Coaching for the parents of children with behavioral problems or the parents of young adults who are stumbling, and who might be characterized "failing-to -launch."

At times, consultations with other professionals will be part of the treatment process: speaking with attorneys, coordination with other therapists, or consultation with medical professionals.

At times, persons who have suffered trauma and abuse at the hands of a person with pathological narcissism may want a consultation to better understand what occurred and how best to proceed to protect themselves and/or their children.

Insurance & Payment Options

 Beginning on July 1, 2022, I am no longer on any preferred provider panel for any insurance company.
Persons with other insurance plans may be able to be reimbursed by their insurance company and I will provide the necessary documentation.  However, I do not accept payment directly from other insurance plans.  Clients will need to pay themselves for my services.  For all new patients, I only accept credit card payments at the time of the initial session.  If we are engaged in ongoing therapy, I will request that you set up either Venmo or Zelle to pay for services.  On occasion, clients may pay me by check if other options are not available for them.  Fees for forensic evaluations are based on the time required to conduct the assessment and prepare a report.   Please contact me directly about your particular case for further information, and I will attempt to provide you with my best estimate of the cost of the assessment.  I also do not do any sliding scale payment options.  If you require a lower fee, I suggest you check on psychologytoday.com where providers list both their fees & the insurance plans they accept.

Interested in my services?  Not sure where to start?  I am here to help.

The best way to determine what kind of treatment is recommended is to set up an initial diagnostic session where we will work together to make a plan to address the problems and issues which are interfering with the life you want to have.
