DR. CASSANDRA B. SELTMAN, PSYCHOANALYST
MY PRACTICE
I treat symptoms as an integral part of the individual's experience, as they can be thought and spoken about in order to change one's painful relationship to them. The space I provide is confidential, non-judgmental, and highly creative.
PSYCHOANALYSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
I consider psychotherapy to be a project between two people in which the goal is to understand both conscious and unconscious sources of emotional pain and ultimately open a space in which to alleviate suffering. The result is a very singular relationship that encourages multiple readings of itself and of all the relationships that have come before it. Through an understanding of feelings, relationships, and a deepening of inner and outer dialogue, we can enter a process of healing which leads to the shedding of old and destructive patterns.

INSURANCE AND FEE
How do I use my out-of-network benefits?
You likely have out-of-network insurance benefits which you can use. When people use out-of-network benefits with me the fee usually drops from $175-$250 to somewhere between $35-$80 per session. You can find out exactly how much it will cost by:
-
Contacting your insurance company using the number on the back of your insurance card. If there is a number for Behavioral Health or Mental Health, call that number. Otherwise, call the number for member services. At the prompt, select Benefits and Eligibility.
-
Tell the operator “I am calling to check on my out-of-network benefits for routine psychotherapy provided in an outpatient, office setting.”
-
They should let you know your deductible and your co-insurance (it will be something like 60/40, 70/30, or 80/20).
-
If you contact me with your coinsurance and deductible I will be able to let you know how much sessions will cost.
