PSYCHOTHERAPY

I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families on a once, twice, or three times/week basis. I understand that starting therapy is an unusual and often difficult task. If you don’t find one through a referral from someone you trust, how does one begin to sift through the flood of options available online? There is not an easy answer, but if I can help you navigate the mess, I will. If you have any questions or concerns about beginning therapy, don’t hesitate to email or call for a preliminary conversation. I can talk to you about what you are looking for, what different therapists offer, as well as what I do.

CONSULTATION

For practicing therapists, consultation can be the difference between a treatment experience that feels dead and ineffectual to one that is alive and full of promise and interest. I have specialized expertise in existential philosophy, psychoanalysis, psychosis, psychedelics, and counter-transference issues. Consultation can be ongoing, time-limited, or even a single session depending on the issue.

SUPERVISION

I currently provide supervision through the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis, Berkeley Therapy Institute, and occasionally other clinics to both pre- and post-licensure clinicians. Supervision is available to clinicians at any stage of training either to help them accrue hours toward their license or to deepen their understanding of a particular approach to clinical work. The supervision I provide, like my other clinical work, is informed by the integration of existential philosophy and psychoanalysis.

INSURANCE

While I am not an in-network provider in my private practice, you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance company for our sessions. Please contact your insurance company to determine whether they will pay for out-of-network providers.

FEES

$250-$300 for individual 50 minute psychotherapy sessions. I accept cash, credit card, or Venmo. I occasionally have limited availability for sliding scale patients for those who need it.
