Contact the office of Janet Summers by phone at 888-584-6555 or 914-920-MIND (6463). Please leave a confidential voicemail with the times that it is best to call you back. You should expect for your call to be returned by the next day. If you do not hear back, feel free to call until you connect with us.
If your need is urgent and you feel unable to wait or feel that you might harm yourself or someone else, call your physician and go to the emergency room. If you are near a walk-in medical facility, call to see if they can take mental health emergencies. Call a friend to go with you if you feel unable to get yourself there.
When you call, have your schedule available to discuss meeting times. The standard fee is $130 for a 50 minute session. Fees are payable by credit card or cash. You may be asked to secure your appointment with a credit card since an appointment is a request for the therapist to hold a time just for you. You may also pay via PayPal online.
Some services are not billable to insurances. Relationship counseling between unmarried partners is usually not covered by an unmarried person's health policy unless you are registered domestic partners. Marital counseling is not covered by most insurances. If your insurance company representative tells you that you can file a claim for family therapy to cover your couples counseling, ask them to fax a statement to you attesting to that. Services related to performance improvement are usually not covered.
Services that are considered necessary for medical health are often covered if the client meets the criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis. You should expect to pay for your services at the time of your appointment and we will assist you in billing your insurance for reimbursement.
Coaching services do not create a psychiatric medical record and allow your visit and any record of it to be completely private.
