Addictions and Trauma
Frequently asked questions
If you have any specific questions you would like clarity on, Please reach out.
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I'll ask some questions to understand what brings you in, what you're hoping to work on, and what you’d like to get out of therapy. It's also a space for you to ask me any questions. Together, we’ll figure out if this feels like the right match and talk about what the best next steps could look like.
Sessions typically last 45 minutes. Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum, but we’ll decide together what feels right for you. As you progress, we might adjust the frequency based on your needs. Double or extended sessions are scheduled in advance and are prorated.
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and families struggling to break free from sex and pornography addiction. I also have experience supporting individuals in the Jewish community navigating cultural and religious sensitivities.
Yes, I work with teens, young adults, and their families. While I don’t see couples on an ongoing basis, I do offer occasional joint sessions with a client and his spouse when it fits his therapy needs. If you’re not sure whether your situation is a good fit, please reach out to discuss.
I offer both virtual (telehealth) and in-person sessions in my New Jersey office. We can decide what works best for you based on your schedule, comfort, and location.
I do not accept insurance but would be happy to provide a receipt for you to file with your insurance company for reimbursement.
I ask for 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to the full session fee.
Yes. What you share in therapy is confidential and stays between us. There are a few exceptions where I’m legally required to break confidentiality, such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others. We’ll review this together at the start so you feel comfortable.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to navigate a challenge, therapy might be a good step. You don’t need to wait for a crisis — therapy is also a space for growth, reflection, and building skills to handle life’s ups and downs.
With your written consent, I’m happy to collaborate with anyone involved in your care — a family member, rabbi, school, or other professionals. Please note that time spent on calls, meetings, or writing letters outside of sessions is billed at your regular session rate.
Kindly submit your application, and I will promptly review it and provide a timely response.
