Most sessions are 45–50 minutes in length. This allows enough time for meaningful therapeutic work while keeping the experience manageable for children.
In many traditional models, a therapist primarily works one-on-one with the child. In relationship-based therapy, parents play an essential role in sessions and in practicing new skills at home. We see your relationship with your child as the most powerful tool for change—so we focus on helping you connect, respond effectively, and build positive patterns together.
The fee is $225 per session. This applies to all types of sessions, whether it’s individual child therapy, family therapy, or a parent-only consultation.

I am an out-of-network provider, with the exception of clients with Mount Sinai Health System’s UMR Top Tier insurance. Many families are able to get partial reimbursement from their insurance company—please check directly with your plan about coverage for out-of-network mental health services. I’m happy to provide monthly invoices (superbills) to support reimbursement.
Sessions are often playful and interactive, using toys, art, and games to help your child express themselves in developmentally appropriate ways. Parents are usually present for at least part of each session, and we also hold dedicated parent consultations to discuss progress, strategies, and ways to support your child at home.
Appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. If an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if the client does not attend (no-show), it will count as a missed session. Each client is allowed up to two (2) late-canceled or missed sessions within a six-month period without charge.

After the second missed or late-canceled session within a six-month period, the client will be charged the full session fee for any additional missed or late-canceled appointments. For clients using Mount Sinai’s UMR insurance, the fee will be the full amount paid by insurance for the type of session missed (currently between $213 and $325, depending on session type).

Every child and family is unique. Some families notice changes within a few weeks, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll check in regularly to make sure the plan is meeting your goals and adjust as needed.
I see children individually, parents on their own, and families together, depending on what best supports your child’s growth. Sessions are flexible and often include a combination of play-based interventions, parent support, and family work.
The first session usually involves meeting together as a family or with parents only. We’ll discuss your child’s needs, your concerns, and what goals you hope to achieve through therapy. This helps me tailor treatment to your child and family from the very beginning. Alternatively, I might suggest that parents and I meet without the child initially so that I can start by getting a full family history and developmental history of the child.

We don’t offer CBT in the traditional, skills-based format often used with older children, teens, and adults. At Feelings Land, our work is rooted in relationship-based, play-focused approaches that are developmentally appropriate for young children.
While CBT can be effective for certain ages and concerns, our approach focuses on helping children feel secure and connected so they’re better able to manage emotions and behaviors. We do teach coping strategies and problem-solving skills, but we do so within the context of strengthening the parent-child relationship—because for young children, connection is the most powerful agent of change.
If your pediatrician recommended CBT, we’re happy to talk with you about your child’s needs and help you decide if our approach would be a good fit.
I ask that you use the contact form on this website to reach out to me or contact me by phone. From there, we schedule a free 15-minute consultation to find out if I am a good fit to help your child and family.
Once we begin treatment, you will be given access to my client portal, where you can schedule appointments at your convenienc
