Your First Visit

Getting Here

My office is located at 1633 Q Street, NW, Suite 200, in Washington DC, almost at the corner of 17th and Q, three blocks east of the metro’s Dupont Circle stop on the Red Line.

The First Session

Finding a therapist that YOU like can be an intimidating experience. No one wants to pay for something they don’t want. For that reason, there is no fee for the initial session if we decide not to work together at the end of the session. If we do decide to continue to work together, it will be billed as the first session. So come on in, let’s chat!

Fees and Payment

My fee is $160/hour.

I recommend checking with your insurance company to see what they will cover. Because I am a fully licensed psychotherapist (“Licensed Professional Counselor”, or LPC) in the District of Columbia, many insurance providers will reimburse you for my services. 

Figuring out what your benefits are can be daunting – follow these directions to figure out what your benefits are: First, call the customer service number on your insurance card. Tell them that you want to find out what your benefits are for out-of-network psychotherapy sessions – if they ask you for a procedure code (or CPT code),it is 90806. They will then tell you that after your deductible, they will pay a certain percentage of their acceptable rate. Ask them what your deductible is, and what their acceptable rate is. At the end of the conversation, you want to be able to fill in the following blanks: “After paying a deductible of $___, we will pay __% of $___ per session.”
