Frequently Asked Questions

I use a psychodynamic and relational approach with a strong focus on attachment and insight development.  I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and use this modality when it is appropriate. I am also trained in Trauma Focused CBT. 

I provide therapy for individuals and groups, including children, adolescents and adults. 

I can see patients virtually who are located in the State of New York and the District of Columbia.  For these patients, I accept select insurance carriers such as Aetna, Oxford, and United Health Care. 

I also offer in-person sessions at my office on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. If you would like to see me in person, please note that I am unable to bill through insurance but can provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.  

Payment is due at the time of each session. 

Please reach out to set up a 15-minute phone consultation to see if we may be a good fit to work together.  This is a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.  Please reach out to me by email at socworkrubin@gmail.com to find a convenient time for a phone call.
