Fees and appointments

Before we meet

Please read my psychotherapy policy and complete the client information form before your first session. We can go over any questions together when we meet.

Appointments

Weekly sessions

We meet at the same time each week, and I reserve that time for you. I typically start couples and individuals with weekly sessions. We can review the schedule as we go.

48-hour cancellation

If you need to cancel or move a session, I ask for 48 hours' notice. Inside that window, the session is charged at the full fee.

If I can fill the hour or reschedule your session within the same week, you won't be charged for the missed appointment.

Availability

Please contact me about current openings. If I don't have a time that works for you, I can suggest other therapists.

Getting started

We start with a free 15-minute phone consultation to talk about what brings you to therapy and whether we might work well together.

You can reach me at (212) 664-0152 or irispsychotherapist@gmail.com.

Fees and insurance

The fee

We'll discuss the fee before scheduling your first session. A sliding scale is available if needed; please ask.

Insurance

I'm out of network with all insurance plans. If you have out-of-network mental-health benefits, your plan may cover part of the fee. Please check with your healthcare provider.

Ask how much your plan reimburses and whether you need to meet a deductible first.

Statements

I'll give you an itemized monthly statement to submit for reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your plan.

Payment

Payment is due at the time of each session unless we have agreed otherwise.
