Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer in-person and/or telehealth appointments?
Yes, I provide in-person appointments at my office location: 306 Bergen Street, Prospect Heights Brooklyn, NY 11238. I also offer telehealth appointments, as well as a hybrid model. I am licensed to provide care New York State.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not currently accept insurance as payment. I can provide you with a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Please contact your insurance for information about your out-of-network provider reimbursement policy. Fees are comparable to other clinical psychologists in the Brooklyn area. I offer a sliding scale to make therapy accessible.
I’m interested in connecting. What are the next steps?
Step 1. Phone Consultation. Please contact me by email (laura@lauraadamsphd.com) or phone at (646) 481-6584 to set up a brief 15 minute phone consultation to discuss what you're looking for and if I may be a good fit.
Step 2. Prior to your first session. I will send you an intake questionnaire and consent forms via our secure online system before your first session. I recommend completing these online before your first visit so that I can review them in advance. You may also complete these forms during your first session.
Step 3. Intake Assessment. Before beginning therapy, we will meet for an intake session. This allows me to learn more about strengths, current concerns, and what you have already tried. At the end of the intake, I will share recommendations and collaborate on treatment goals. If my areas of expertise do not match with your treatment goals, I will provide referrals for other providers who may be a better fit.
Step 4. Ongoing therapy. Typically, ongoing therapy appointments (45, 50, 0r 60 minutes) are scheduled weekly. More frequent or longer sessions can be arranged if needed. At your request, I am able to collaborate with other providers, such as primary care and psychiatrists, to coordinate care.
CANCElLATION POLICY
I allow one missed session within a 24 hour period before our scheduled time. After this, clients are responsible for the full fee in the event of a missed or cancelled appointment with less than 24 hours notice. Please be aware that insurance companies do not reimburse for cancelled or missed sessions and it is your responsibility to pay the fee in full.
