About the Practice
MW Psychotherapy
MW Psychotherapy is a practice that is dedicated to creating a supportive environment for you to grow and become your best self. It is imperative to have a space that you feel heard, seen, understood, and empowered to take the necessary steps to get you where you want to be.
As a therapist, I am committed to providing services and care to clients, both individuals and couples, that are aligned with where you are at in your journey, and where you are looking to go. Collaborative care is important, and it is crucial to me that you feel involved in this journey.
Insurance
Similar to most private practices, I do not accept insurance. However, I can provide you with a monthly superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, if you have out-of-network benefits. I can run your insurance on Mentaya to assess if you have out-of-network benefits and what reimbursement would look like for you.
Scheduling
I offer weekly or biweekly virtual sessions. You will be responsible for the session cost if you do not cancel your session at least 48 hours in advance of session.
Supervision and Education
If you hold a limited permit in New York State and are looking for supervision, I offer weekly supervision sessions.
