Sometimes we do not see how clouded our awareness has become and our days feel like long to-do lists, and any moments of happiness are ignored.

Free consultation
You will need to locate a therapist that is a good match for you, to do this I offer a free consultation so we can get to know one another first. I provide clinical services at my Long Island and Queens office, I also provide telepsychology appointments. The client may use their computer, laptop or smartphone to communicate with me without visiting the office. The use of telepsychology services increases the access to mental health care to those that find it difficult to travel to the therapist’s location. In certain situations, I am willing to conduct sessions in your home, or alternate locations when appropriate.

Telepsychology is the delivery of psychological services using interactive audio or audiovisual electronic systems where the therapist and the client are not in the same physical location. The interactive electronic systems used in telepsychology incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient information and audio and visual data. . I use VSEE communications for this service, and it is encrypted end to end. I do have a Business Associates Agreement (BAA) with VSEE, to be incompliance with (HIPPA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, of 1996.
