The following is a general list of the services I provide:

•	attendance at PPT, 504 meetings, and other educational team meetings
•	Group psychotherapy-the current groups that are being facilitated or that are being developed are the following: •Group therapy for 8-11 year olds. This group is for boys and girls who have difficulty in various social settings as a result of their impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulty interacting with others. This group is currently accepting new clients. Attendance is on every other Thursday at 5pm for 45 minutes. •Group therapy for boys 12-14 year olds. This group is for young adolescents who are struggling with issues that arise in Middle School.

•	The Unique Me- this is a short term, goal oriented treatment for children and adolescents that is directed at helping them learn about their diagnostic issues. This brief treatment program is developed on the premise that children and adolescents who truly understand their psychiatric and neuropsychological issues in a positive and accurate manner, may be more successful in taking appropriate responsibility for some of their issues. This intervention combines a creative and supportive approach in helping families and clients join to better understand the diagnostic issues.

FEES AND PAYMENTS: I accept Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield as well as specific forms of Aetna insurance. If your insurance is through another carrier, I can provide you the proper forms to submit for "out of network" reimbursement. Fees/copays are required upon the time of your visit and I accept cash, check, and credit cards for your convenience. Please note, that while I will assist you with insurance matters, fees that are unpaid are ultimately the client’s responsibility. Please make sure you are informed of all policies regarding your insurance coverage. The following are my fees for individual, family, and group psychotherapy. Other fees such as administrative costs are determined upon request.

CANCELLATION POLICY: If you need to cancel an appointment, please notify me by phone call/voice mail only with 24 hours advanced notice in order to avoid late cancellation or “missed appointment” charges. These fees are billed directly to you and cannot be submitted for insurance reimbursement.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Recommendations regarding the frequency of visits is usually determined by the individual needs of each client/family. Therefore, these matters will be discussed at the end of your first appointment. If attendance to sessions is inconsistent and/or infrequent, this may impact the overall success of treatment. As a result, the continuation of treatment may be impacted if sessions are not maintained according to treatment recommendations.

PRIVACY POLICY: The privacy of your treatment information is extremely important. Below you will find my "Notice of Privacy Practices" which outlines how I keep your records confidential.
