Start with the first step.

  • 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.
    • The following codes are most typically billed (add -95 to each code for virtual meetings):
      • 90791 - initial intake/consultation appointment 
      • 90834 - individual appointment (45 min.)
      • 90847 - family therapy appointment with client present
      • 90846 - family therapy appointment without client present
    • Billing/provider information is as follows:
      • Name: Linda Kudla, Psy.D.
      • NYS License: 023300
      • Practice EIN: 85-2842304
      • Practice NPI: 1659984083

         
  • 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.
