ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Michael

Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Northern New Jersey. I obtained my Masters degree from New York University and have over 15 years of experience in the field. While I work with a wide array of clients, my passion is helping people recover from anxiety and depression and begin to build a life worth living. I have worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ individuals to help them understand and recover from their traumas experienced growing up in an unaccepting society.

My goal is to help my clients feel more confident and motivated in their life while connecting more to the world around them. I work to create a safe, affirming, and relaxed environment in sessions. I understand that you are the expert of your own life, and I want to hear your story. I can help you learn new ways of coping and changing negative thinking patterns that keep you stuck. As you feel better, we will work to build connections and increase your understanding of yourself.

Clients tell me that they feel heard and validated after a session. Most times, people leave feeling hopeful for the changes they want to make, and supported. But within a few sessions, the goal is always to provide some relief to the primary reason you began therapy.

How do I get started?
You’ve already done the hardest part - deciding to start therapy. The next is to reach out. You can call, email or use the contact form to schedule a free initial consultation or your first session.
Where are you located?
We offer in-person sessions in Montclair, NJ.

We also offer virtual sessions for clients living in NJ. To protect your privacy, we use a HIPAA compliant audio-video platform for sessions.
Do you accept insurance?
We are in network with the following insurances: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Oxford, and Oscar Health.

We use Headway to manage the billing and administrative workload with insurances so that the focus is on our work together. Headway manages everything related to payments and insurance to make things as easy as possible for you.

The Headway team will reach out with an email to help you set up your account and add your insurance and payment details. You'll see your cost per session ahead of time and can check your benefits through the client portal.

If we are not in network with your insurance, you can pay for sessions out of pocket and you can receive a monthly receipt called a superbill to submit to your insurance for partial or full reimbursement based on your insurance benefits.

If you’d prefer to not use insurance, we can also work with you.
What questions should I ask my insurance about reimbursement?
For those using insurance, we will provide you a verification of benefits to detail any possible out of pocket costs. If you are using out of network benefits, we’d encourage you to call your insurance and get the following information:
  • Do I have out of network benefits for mental health therapy?
  • Do I have a copay or coinsurance for out of network psychotherapy?
  • Do I have an out of network deductible, and how much have I met for this benefit year?
