Insurance & Reimbursement
I’m an out-of-network (OON) provider, which means you pay the session fee upfront.
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement.I provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company.
For example, if your plan reimburses 80% of out-of-network services, your out-of-pocket cost could be around $50–$70 per session.
Please note that reimbursement rates vary by plan, and I cannot guarantee coverage.To make things easier, you can use the Mentaya benefits checker below to see what your plan may cover and estimate your out-of-pocket cost before booking.

Many people looking for mental health care assume they have to find an in-network therapist covered by their insurance, but that’s not always the case. I am an out-of-network (OON) provider, which means you pay for sessions upfront, and your insurance may reimburse you for some or all of the cost. Many insurance plans in New York cover 50% to 100% of therapy, even with out-of-network providers.
To make this easier, you can use the Mentaya benefits checker below to see what your insurance plan may cover and estimate your out-of-pocket cost before booking.
If your insurance doesn’t cover out-of-network therapy, you can still pay out of pocket, and we’ll work with you to ensure you get the support you need.
-
I offer extended 85-minute sessions because sometimes 55 minutes just isn’t enough — especially when we’re doing deeper work.
Extended sessions create more spaciousness for things like grounding, EMDR or somatic work, or simply taking our time without feeling rushed. Many clients find that the extra time allows them to settle in more fully, explore emotions at a deeper level, and leave feeling more integrated and grounded.
You might benefit from an extended session if:
You often feel like we’re “just getting started” when the session ends
You’re processing trauma, grief, or intense emotions that need more space
You value having time for both depth work and grounding or integration before wrapping up
You prefer a slower, more embodied pace
Others find that the 55-minute sessions are just right for their ongoing work or when life feels more steady.
We can always discuss what feels best for your current season and goals — there’s no right or wrong pace, just what supports your healing most.
