You found the right place

New clients
start here.

If you’re reading this, it probably took courage to get here. That matters. Here’s exactly what happens next — no surprises, no pressure.

The first step
A free 15-minute call.
That’s it.

No commitment. No intake forms. No pressure to sign up for anything. Just a short conversation so we can both get a sense of whether working together feels right.

I’ll ask a little about what brings you in. You can ask me anything. And if we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a first session. If not, I’ll do my best to point you somewhere that might work better.

Things people worry about

“Will you judge me for what I’ve done or what I’m struggling with?”

No. I mean that. I work with some of the most sensitive, shame-heavy issues a person can carry — sexual compulsivity, addiction, infidelity, things people have never said out loud. I’ve heard a lot. Nothing you tell me will change the respect and care I bring to our work.

“Is this confidential?”

Yes, completely. Everything you share is protected under HIPAA and New York State confidentiality laws. The only exceptions are the standard ones required by law — imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, and child abuse reporting. I’ll explain all of this clearly in our first session.

“What if I’m not ready?”

That’s okay. The free consultation is just a conversation — not a commitment. Lots of people come for a call and then take time before starting. You set the pace, always.

“Do you take insurance?”

I’m an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance or provide superbills. Sessions are $250 for individuals and $330 for couples. A sliding scale is available — ask me about it on the consultation call.

“What’s your cancellation policy?”

I ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged the full session fee. Life happens — if something comes up, just let me know as early as you can.

“Is your office accessible?”

Yes — my Crown Heights office is ADA accessible. Telehealth sessions are available across New York State if in-person isn’t possible for you.

What I work with

You’re dealing with addiction — behavioral, substance, or both

You’re a man who’s never felt safe enough to actually talk about what’s going on

Your faith and your mental health feel like they’re in conflict

You’re curious about breathwork or psychedelic integration

You just know something needs to change, even if you can’t name it yet

Ready when you are.
