Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what people usually ask before reaching out.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. I'm in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield through Alma, and I have a direct intake path for Northwell Health employees. For out-of-network plans, I can provide a superbill for reimbursement.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes — all sessions are available via telehealth. I'm PSYPACT-authorized to see clients across 40+ participating states, not just New York.

Do you offer therapy in Spanish?

Yes. I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish and offer sessions in both languages.

What is ACT therapy?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings — not by eliminating them, but by reducing their grip on your behavior. It's particularly effective for anxiety, OCD, depression, and burnout.

Do you work with couples?

Yes. I'm trained in the Gottman Method (Level 2) and work with couples navigating communication breakdowns, conflict, and relationship transitions.

What does a first session look like?

We start with a free 15-minute intro call. If it's a good fit, the first full session is a thorough intake — we cover your history, your goals, and what's bringing you in. From there, we build a clear treatment plan together.

How long does therapy take?

It depends on what you're working through and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. Some people make meaningful progress in a relatively focused period; others do better with longer-term work. There's no standard timeline — we'll talk about what makes sense for you from the start.

What are your fees?

Session fees vary by insurance and payment path. Contact me at info@ovhpsychology.com for the current fee schedule.

Are you currently accepting new clients?

Yes, I'm currently accepting new clients. You can book directly through the Sessions Health or Alma portals, or reach out by email first.

What's the difference between a psychologist and a therapist?

A psychologist holds a doctoral degree (PsyD or PhD) and has completed additional years of supervised clinical training and a formal internship. In New York, psychologists are licensed to provide diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. The title 'therapist' is broader and includes licensed social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists.
