“If I could give Dr. Axelrod 6 stars I would. I've been seeing Dr. Axelrod for close to two years, and can't speak highly enough of her. l've worked with a few mental health specialists and found that she is the most patient, comforting, and contributive to my personal growth” - Max B.
“l immediately felt comfortable with her, and felt that she was extremely concerned about me and my situation. I sensed that she was really listening to me and had an uncanny way of cutting right to the core of what I was saying. I was very impressed by her insights which were right on target. I was able to really open up to her. I felt hopeless and desperate when I went to see her but her calm, attentive manner was comforting and encouraging.” - Carla B.
Check your insurance.
Dr. Axelrod operates on an out-of-network basis, offering patients greater flexibility in their choice of therapist. While many people assume that staying within their insurance network is the only affordable option, out-of-network care can often be surprisingly cost-effective and accessible.
Dr. Axelrod welcomes patients who utilize their out-of-network benefits. After meeting their deductible, patients frequently discover that their insurance covers between 60-85% of Dr. Axelrod's fee through out-of-network reimbursement.

We encourage you to investigate your out-of-network coverage for mental health services. This option may provide you with more freedom to select a therapist who best fits your needs and preferences.
