What to expect

Getting started

Reach out. Send the request form or call (516) 806-6814. You will hear back within two business days for a brief phone call about what is going on.

Intake. Complete the intake forms, then meet for a first session to set goals together.

Begin sessions. Weekly sessions in the office or by telehealth, with a plan reviewed together as you go.

If the practice is full, you can join the waitlist and Dr. Kalnicki will reach out as openings come up.

Questions parents ask

Do you take insurance? The practice is private-pay. With out-of-network benefits, you can receive a statement each month to submit for reimbursement.

What ages do you see? Children and adolescents, their parents, and adults seeking individual therapy.

Office or telehealth? Both. Some families come to the office, some meet entirely by telehealth from across New York, and many mix the two.

What is your cancellation policy? Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule; sessions canceled with less notice may be billed.

How long does therapy take? It depends on the goals. Focused programs like PCIT often run a few months; other work takes longer. Progress is reviewed together regularly.
