Important Information

• As of May 2021, we are offering both virtual and in-person therapy in our Park Slope location at 110 4th Avenue. For virtual appointments, you will receive an invite to a Google Meet appointment with an easily clickable link for a HIPAA-compliant video session.

• We are not currently accepting new referrals, but will be in 2022 as Small Steps expands. Appointments are typically in the afternoons and early evenings for children, adolescents, and adults.

• We offer a steep sliding scale based on what you/your family is able to afford.

• We do not take insurance, but will provide you with receipts that include all of the information necessary to submit claims for out-of-network reimbursement. It is recommended you check with your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement rates.

90791 - initial intake/consultation appointment

• Child and adolescent therapy is often preceded with a parent/caregiver intake appointment, which is 60 minutes and a slightly higher rate than individual sessions.

• Subsequent therapy usually includes caregiver involvement, which can range from 10-minute check-ins to full session involvement, depending on need.

• Adult therapy also includes a 60-minute intake appointment prior to individual sessions.

• Goals are discussed in the first few appointments and are collaborative in nature. We are only interested in working on areas that you find to be important to you and/or your child. You are the expert on you/your family, and it is our role to follow your lead.
