FAQ’s

What should I expect from a consultation?
The consultation gives us an opportunity to get to know one another. I’ll ask some general questions to understand your current circumstances and what you want to get out of counseling. I’ll explain how our sessions proceed. You can also ask me any questions to determine if we’re a good fit for each other.
What does the intake process look like?

At the start of couples therapy, there’s an in-depth intake process that allows me to get a complete understanding of the history of your relationship, what’s happening presently, and your relationship goals. This includes

1) an initial joint session,

2) two individual sessions (one with each of you), and

3) a questionnaire for each of you to fill out. I then compile everything learned and create a personalized treatment plan for you which we’ll go over in depth in a feedback session.

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
Hypnotherapy is by definition a short term treatment. Most people experience positive change after each session. The time it takes to reach your goals varies from person to person, but the average is a few months.
How do I book my appointment?

You can 1) select ‘schedule now’ or ‘contact us’ here on this website,
2) email me at Allia@alphapsychotherapycenter.com, or
3) give me a call at 516-265-7069.
Once we speak, we’ll pick the best day/time to meet. If our consultation conversation is over email, I’ll then give you a call to get you officially on the schedule. If we’re already on a call, I’ll get you on the schedule then!

Are the sessions virtual?
Yes, all sessions are virtual.
Do you accept insurance?

I’m an out-of-network provider. So while I don’t accept insurance directly, if you or your partner (if meeting as a couple) have any ‘out of network’ coverage with your insurance policy, I’d be happy to provide you with a receipt to send to them to get reimbursed.

To find out if you have ‘out of network coverage’, you can call the customer service number on the back of your card and anyone who has access to your account can let you know if you have out of network coverage. You can let them know it’s for psychotherapy.

Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes! I have LGBTQ+ competency training from the Institute of Human Identity in NYC and I’ve had tons of individuals and couples from the LGBTQIA community over the last decade.
Are you kink and poly knowledgeable?
Yes!
My partner and I are located in different places. Can you still meet with us?
Yes! You and your partner can sign in from different locations.
