Individual therapy, EMDR, and EMDR Intensives for adults in New York and Connecticut

FEATURED:

EMDR INTENSIVES

FOR ADULTS WHO ARE READY TO DO DEEPER WORK FASTER

Weekly therapy is valuable. But for many people, 50 minutes isn't enough time to get real traction. You settle in, something surfaces, and then the session ends. You spend the week holding whatever came up, and then you start over.

EMDR Intensives are structured differently. Instead of spreading the work across weeks or months, we dedicate a focused block of time to staying with the processing until it actually moves. Many clients describe their intensive as the most significant shift in their entire healing process.

What's included:

  • One 60-minute preparation session

  • Three hours of focused EMDR reprocessing

  • One 60-minute integration session

  • Personalized workbook and grounding resources

Investment: $850

Available in-person in White Plains, NY and virtually for New York and Connecticut residents.

Not sure if an intensive is right for you?

An Intensive might be the right fit if you:

  • Have been in weekly therapy and feel like progress has stalled

  • Want focused, accelerated work without an open-ended commitment

  • Have a specific experience or pattern you're ready to process

  • Are a busy professional who finds a consistent weekly slot hard to maintain

  • Are traveling to White Plains specifically to work with an EMDR specialist

Weekly individual therapy might be the right fit if you:

  • Are newer to therapy and want to build the relationship gradually

  • Are navigating ongoing life circumstances that need consistent support

  • Want to work at a slower, exploratory pace

  • Prefer the rhythm of regular weekly check-ins

Still not sure? Let’s figure it out together.

services

Individual Therapy

Ongoing one-on-one sessions for anxiety, trauma, and the patterns keeping you stuck. Sessions are active, collaborative, and integrative — drawing from EMDR, IFS, somatic methods, and CBT depending on where we are in the work.

$200 per 45-50 minute session

EMDR Therapy

An evidence-based approach that works at the nervous system level to process unresolved experiences. If the past keeps showing up in your present, EMDR addresses it where it actually lives — not just in your thoughts.

$200 per 45-50 minute session

Couples Therapy

For couples navigating communication breakdowns, conflict, and relational patterns that feel stuck. Focused on building genuine understanding and more honest ways of relating.

$225 per 45-50 minute session

fees & insurance

Talking about money can feel awkward.

I would rather be straightforward with you about how this works so you can decide whether it is the right fit before we ever get on a call.

Sage Talk Therapy is a private pay practice.

I do not work directly with insurance companies. This is an intentional choice that allows me to focus fully on your care rather than on insurance requirements, session limits, and billing logistics.

Payment is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards.

  • Individual Session, 45-50 minutes: $200

  • Family or Couples Psychotherapy: $225

  • EMDR Intensive Package (5 hours): $850

  • Late Cancellation/Missed Session Fee*: $160 

Cancellation Policy*

I ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations and no-shows are charged a fee of $160. I understand that life happens and handle exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

out-of-network benefits

Even though I do not bill insurance directly, many clients are able to significantly reduce the cost of sessions through their out-of-network benefits. I partner with Thrizer to make that process easy — no superbills to file, no claims to manage on your end.

Use the tool below to check your benefits in about two minutes and get a clear estimate of what sessions would actually cost you.

Not sure if you have out-of-network benefits?

PPO plans almost always include them. If you have questions, feel free to reach out before scheduling.

A Note on why I practice this way

Working outside of insurance panels means I can offer longer sessions, more intensive formats, like EMDR Intensives, and a level of clinical flexibility that standard insurance models do not support. It also means your treatment decisions stay between us, not between us and a Utilization Reviewer hired by your insurance company.

I know cost is a real consideration. I want you to have the information you need to make the right decision for yourself.
