Clinical Psychologist

---

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood instability, and relationship difficulties. I received my doctorate from the City University of New York and have been in private practice for over a decade. I am also the chief clinical officer of one of the largest behavioral health providers in NYC. 

Therapeutic approach:

My goal as a psychologist is to help you feel better by applying proven therapeutic methods in a warm and caring atmosphere. I am solution-oriented so you will not spend years in therapy but at the same time, I work to produce long-term, sustainable change in my patients.  Most patients are in treatment for a few months. 

I view therapy as a collaborative process between patient and therapist. I help my patients progress toward their goals in a supportive and affirming environment. Just as each person's needs, experiences, and strengths are unique, I tailor my services to each individual and help them uncover past and present factors that impact their functioning. I help my patients feel better and achieve positive change and growth. 

Education and training:

• City University of New York, PhD in Clinical Psychology
• Yeshiva University, BA in Psychology

I provide individual psychotherapy in-person and by telehealth for a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues including:

• depression and anxiety
• relationship difficulties 
• traumatic stress and healing from abuse
• substance use and addictive behaviors
• schizophrenia and psychotic disorders
• bipolar disorder
• adult ADHD
• anger management
• domestic violence
• grief and bereavement
• work and career issues

I provide a limited number of in-person appointments in Rockland County NY. Please contact me for in-person availability. I provide telehealth services to patients physically located in New York State. Patients can log into secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions online at: https://doxy.me/keigher

My fee is $225 for a 45-minute session.

I am an in-network provider with Aetna (EPO/POS/PPO plans). 

For all other insurance plans I am considered an out-of-network provider. As an out-of-network provider, I will submit insurance claims for you.  You pay the session fee upfront and I will file the insurance claim for you, so you can be reimbursed from your insurance directly without worrying about the paperwork.

Please consult with your insurance provider to determine your level of coverage. Some typical questions you should ask your insurance provider include:

• Am I covered for out-of-network, outpatient mental health services? If so, what is my deductible?
• How many sessions am I covered for per year? 
• What percentage of what the insurance company considers a customary and reasonable fee is covered by the insurance company, and what is my coinsurance (e.g., 80%-20%, 70%-30%, 50%-50%, etc.)?
