Female

Psychotherapy has the power to transform people’s lives. My goal is to guide my clients toward the change they seek. I studied psychology at Columbia University where I assisted on research for some of the top psychologists in the U.S. (Mischel, Dweck, Beebe). Later I returned to Columbia for my MSW. My background in behavioral science informs my therapeutic approach. In my experience I’ve provided psychotherapy in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals and in private practice. I create sessions that are highly collaborative and personalized, and that offer a safe environment to process difficult emotions and experiences. I work to provide my clients with the skills, understanding and self-awareness they need to feel more at peace and lead more satisfying lives. After just a few sessions clients can come away with a significant amount of knowledge, skills and insight. I work at the speed clients are comfortable with, while always encouraging forward motion. Without forward motion there is no therapy. The more motivated the client, the more they will progress.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
