Frequently asked questions
These are the most common questions I get from prospective clients. If you have a question that’s not listed here, please email me.
-
I meet with each prospective client for a free 15-minute consultation - a chance to connect, talk about what you're looking for, and make sure we're a strong fit. You can book directly on my schedule using the link below. If it feels right on both ends, we'll get your intake scheduled. I can usually get people started pretty quickly.
-
I see clients virtually across Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Florida.
-
No. All of my services are 100% online through Zoom.
-
I see clients Tuesday through Friday from 8 AM–4 PM. I do not offer sessions on evenings, weekends, or state and federal holidays.
-
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours' notice. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours' notice will be charged the full session fee to the card on file. Sessions rescheduled within the same calendar week are not subject to this fee. Exceptions may be made in cases of illness or emergency at my discretion.
-
My website and marketing focus on my specialization: gay men navigating body shame and eating disorders. That said, I have and actively work with folks across the full spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations.
If you think my therapeutic approach resonates with your needs, you're welcome to book a consultation, and we can discuss whether I'm the right fit for you.
-
I work exclusively with adults. I'm not the right fit for anyone navigating low motivation, severe depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use, psychosis, or personality disorders, as these areas call for specialized care.
I'm also not able to work with clients who have current or anticipated legal involvement, are actively suicidal or engaging in self-harm, or have been psychiatrically hospitalized in the past three years.
If any of this applies to you, I'm happy to help point you toward providers who are a better match.
-
The first session is an intake, which means it looks a little different from ongoing therapy. We'll spend our time together reviewing your background information, exploring what's currently going on that brought you to therapy, discussing your goals, and talking through how we'll work together. My aim is for it to feel like a conversation rather than an interview. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer sense of what therapy with me will look like and we'll have a foundation to build from.
-
Therapy with me is a long-term commitment. Most of my clients have been with me for years, not months. If you're looking for short-term, solution-focused work, I'm not the right fit.
The people I work with want to go deep and make real, lasting changes. That takes time and consistency. As things progress, the pace naturally shifts; sessions might move to biweekly or monthly, and some clients step away and return when life calls for it.
We'll figure out together what serves you best.
