Fees and policies

Scheduling: Therapy sessions generally occur on a weekly basis and last for 45 minutes. To schedule an appointment or a brief phone consultation, please call me at (929) 226-2057, or email me at abslater@gmail.com.

Payment: Fees will be collaboratively determined during your intake session. The Intake appointment fee is $250. Reduced fee services are available on a limited basis to students and those in difficult financial situations. Therapy is a strong investment in self, and I strive to make it as affordable as possible.

Insurance: Currently, I am in network with the Aetna Student Health Plan for Columbia University. If your insurance policy has “out of network coverage” for counseling, I will be happy to provide you with the appropriate statement for submission. You can check your coverage by asking the following questions:

1. Do I have out of network mental health (or behavioral health) insurance benefits?

2. What is my out of network deductible (if any) and has it been met yet by other medical expenses?

3. What is the coverage amount (or percentage) per therapy session?

Cancellation Policy: Because your scheduled appointment time is held specifically for you, I kindly ask for 24 hours notice of cancellation. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be billed in full.
