Welcome

Welcome to the website for the private psychotherapy practice of Meryl Fingrutd, LICSW/Ph.D. This is a general psychotherapy practice for individuals, couples or families ages 17+. My approach is to use basic talk therapy as a way of gaining insight, strengthening the self and making positive changes in thinking and behavior.

Scheduling

To schedule an appointment you can leave a message for me at (413) 575-9218. Please include your name, phone number and good times to reach you.

Urgent appointments are usually available in 24-48 hours. Frequency and duration of treatment vary according to need.

Location

My office is located in the heart of downtown Northampton. It is easily accessible to the area's five colleges and surrounding towns by public transportation. The building is handicap accessible.

Cost

I accept most insurances including Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, Health New England, Magellan, Medicare, United Behavioral Health. Most insurance coverage involves a co-pay per session.

For those of you who do not have insurance, self pay is accepted. Sliding scale fee is available in some cases.

Confidentiality

Therapy is a strictly confidential contract between therapist and client(s). Confidential information may only be disclosed if there is a signed, valid consent form from clients specifying what information can be disclosed and to whom. The only exception to this standard occurs if someone is a danger to her/himself or others making disclosure necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable or imminent harm. For a full statement of privacy practices see "Notice of Privacy Practices."
