Fees vary depending on the nature and scope of the work. Initial consultations are extended and typically range from approximately $1,000-$1,500. Additional services, including follow-up consultations or written summaries, are discussed on individual needs.

Forensic evaluations require a retainer before the process begins.

No. Services are provided on a private-pay basis and are not insurance-based. This allows for a more focused, individualized approach without the constraints of insurance requirements.

I have the PSYPACT Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) and can see clients in all participating states. In addition to PSYPACT states, I am licensed in NY, NJ and PA.

All inquiries are reviewed personally. If it appears that your situation is a good fit, you will be contacted with next steps and available times for an initial consultation. This process is designed to ensure that the work is appropriate and focused from the outset.

Availability varies depending on current engagements. In many cases, initial consultations can be scheduled within a few weeks. More time-sensitive situations may be accommodated when possible. I currently have a 4-month waitlist for court-ordered evaluations (as of April 2026).

The process is intentionally focused and efficient. Many families begin with a single extended consultation, followed by a limited number of additional sessions if needed.

For those seeking more structured guidance, a brief series of consultations may take place over several weeks. The pace and scope are tailored to the complexity of the situation.

There is no need for formal preparation. You are welcome to bring any relevant background information, reports, or questions, but the session is designed to meet you where you are and develop a clear understanding of the situation together.

In some cases, families choose to include a written summary of recommendations following consultation. This can be discussed based on your needs and the nature of the work.

No. My work is consultation- and evaluation-based rather than ongoing, open-ended therapy. The focus is on providing clarity, insight, and direction in a structured and time-limited way.

Yes, when appropriate. In certain cases, consultation may involve coordination with attorney, schools, or other professionals to ensure a comprehensive and aligned approach.

This work is best suited for families seeking thoughtful, expert guidance in complex or high-stakes situations. If it is not the right fit, I will do my best to guide you towards appropriate resources.
