My office is conveniently located at Union Square and East 16th Street, which is close to several subway stops, including the 4,5,6, N,R,L, and F trains. 

I am out-of-network with all insurance companies, so you can get partial reimbursement for our sessions if you have out-of-network mental health benefits. Please contact your insurance company to find out if you have these benefits, what percentage of the session they cover and what your deductible is.
