How do I make an appointment?

To set up an appointment, please call (646) 450 6337 or email drnissenson@gmail.com.  

How often do I come to therapy?

Most people attend therapy once a week. The initial session includes a psychiatric evaluation, a description of therapy and time for questions. This evaluation lasts 1 hour. All follow-up sessions are 45 minutes. Skype sessions are also available in certain circumstances. 

How long does treatment last?

Therapy generally lasts between six months to a year but length may vary depending on the complexity of the issues with which a client presents. 

Do you accept insurance?

I am not an in-network provider on an insurance plan.  Most clients use their out-of-network benefits to receive some reimbursement.   You are responsible for payment at each visit and you are provided with a receipt to be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement.  Each bill receipt includes the necessary information to submit claims to your insurance company.

How do I find out how much my insurance company will reimburse me for your service?

Please call the telephone number on the back of your insurance card and ask what your out-of-network mental health benefits are.  The CPT (procedure) code for the initial 60 minute evaluation is 90791 and the CPT code for the 45 minute follow-up sessions are 90834.  Ask if you have a deductible, and if so, how much.

Do you offer supervision or consultation for mental health providers or organizations

Yes, please see the talks and trainings link at the top of this page. Please email with any questions.
