Telebehavioral Health  (Not accepting new clients)

\

Telehealth involves the use of telecommunications technology to provide real time health care to clients at a distance.  This tool can be used to provide psychotherapy services, mental health evaluations, to consult with other providers, provide professional consultation, supervision, etc.  Telehealth is delivered using videoconferencing by mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers. It can be provided to a patient/client at home, work, clinic, hospital or any other places with access through mobile devices.  

Confidentiality: To protect your confidentiality the telehealth service is provided through Doxy.me, a secured, encrypted, HIPAA compliant tele-medicine tool.

​

• Convenient, flexible real-time behavioral health care.

 

Payment for Services

Massachusetts

Some health insurances in Massachusetts pay for this service. Prior to our online psychotherapy session, you must contact your health insurance company to verify if Telehealth is covered and to verify if you need to request prior authorization to receive this service.   If the service is not covered by your insurance, the regular psychotherapy fee will apply. Payments for services (co-pays, deductible, co-insurance, and self-paid rate) must be made prior to the time of each session.  Payments are accepted through Ivy, a secured credit card payment system designed specifically for psychotherapists and their clients.

​

New Jersey 

Payment for the full session must be made prior to the time of each session.  Payments are accepted through Ivy, a secured credit card payment system designed specifically for psychotherapists and their clients.  As I do not accept health insurances in New Jersey, I will provide you with a detailed receipt to request insurance reimbursement (for individuals with out of network benefits).
