Reaching out doesn't require having language for what you're dealing with. Just enough clarity to start a conversation.

Some clients arrive knowing exactly what they have. Others suspect something is running but don't have a name for it yet. Both are valid starting points. Choose the path that fits where you actually are.

Online therapy across New York, California, Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Two ways to begin

PATH 01

30-Minute Consultation | $75

A structured, clinically focused conversation to help you determine whether specialized ERP, CBT, or ACT-based treatment fits what you're carrying.

This consultation is not ongoing therapy or a crisis service. It's a focused conversation to:

  • Describe what's been happening in whatever words you have for it

  • Get an honest read on whether what you're dealing with is OCD, BDD, a BFRB, or something adjacent

  • Understand what specialized treatment would actually look like for your specific situation

  • Ask questions about ERP, CBT, or how the work is structure

If you decide to move forward, the $75 consultation fee is applied to your first session.

PATH 02

Begin Therapy

For clients who already know they want to start specialized treatment.

You don't need a formal diagnosis to reach out. You don't need to have described your intrusive thoughts in detail. You just need a sense that what you've been managing is worth addressing directly, with someone whose practice is built around the specific conditions you're navigating.

Standard Session | $300 for 50 minutes
