Dr. Kevin R. Kulic, Ph.D.

People see a psychologist for many good reasons, often because they want to talk through a problem with someone impartial who will not judge them. Going to therapy does not mean you are “crazy.” It means you are choosing to deal with a problem rather than letting it get worse. That takes courage, and the rewards are usually worth it.

An introductory call

Reach out to set up a brief introductory call. It is not a therapy session. It allows you to decide whether you would like to begin treatment, and lets me learn enough about you to know if I am the right person to help. If I am not, I will provide referrals to professionals who are better suited to your needs.

Confidentiality

What you discuss in therapy is confidential. Limited exceptions include a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, suspected child abuse, and a court order.

Phone, text, and email

The best way to reach me is by phone or text at (646) 239-1397. Texting is fine for initial contact and scheduling. I do not provide therapy by text, email, or chat. Because these are not fully secure, please do not include private health information.

In addition to in-person sessions at my New York City and Hudson Valley offices, I offer sessions by video or phone. Virtual sessions can help you keep a consistent schedule when travel, work, or weather make it hard to come in.

Sessions can be held in person, virtually, or a combination of the two. We can discuss which arrangement suits you during our introductory call.

Fees

Fees depend on the service. I will review them with you during our introductory call, before any appointment is scheduled.

Using your insurance

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, I can provide a superbill, an itemized statement you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Before your first session, you may wish to call your insurer to ask what your plan covers for out-of-network outpatient mental health care.

Good Faith Estimate: Under the federal No Surprises Act, if you are uninsured or not using insurance, you have the right to receive a written Good Faith Estimate of expected charges. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises.

Confidentiality

What you share in therapy is confidential and protected by law and professional ethics. Limited exceptions include a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, suspected child abuse, and a court order. We will review these at the start of treatment.

Notice of Privacy Practices

My Notice of Privacy Practices describes how your health information may be used and disclosed, and how you can get access to it. You will receive a copy when you begin treatment, and you can ask for one at any time.

Email, text, and this website

You may text me to make initial contact or to schedule an appointment. Email and text messages are not fully secure, so please do not send private health information that way.

The contact form on this website sends your message to me by email. Please keep private health details out of it; I will reply using the contact method you choose. Map views are provided by Google, whose own privacy policy applies.

Emergencies

I am not able to respond to emergencies by voicemail, text, email, or the contact form. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
