ARE You ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS?
Yes! Feel free to reach out.
do you offer Therapy in person, remotely, or Both?
We provide therapy services catering to diverse needs, including in-person sessions at our Philadelphia office and remote therapy for individuals located in Pennsylvania and select additional states (availability varies by clinician).
I live outside of Pennsylvania. Can i see you remotely?
Depending on which therapist you see quite possibly, we just need to make sure that their license covers your state or territory. Dr. Liz Gordon is affiliated with PSYPACT, granting her licensure recognition across over 35 states beyond Pennsylvania including New Jersey, Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, and many more. Click here for the most current list of recognized states. Leah Bayuk, MS, specializes in remote therapy services available in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
How much does treatment cost?
We provide various fee options tailored to the seniority and training level of your therapist, ensuring that all clinicians possess extensive experience and expertise in treating OCD and anxiety disorders. Sessions typically last 45 minutes and are priced at $195 with Dr. Gordon, our senior doctoral clinician, and $150 with Leah Bayuk, our master’s level clinician. Intake sessions are $185-$250. For new patients, we typically recommend attending therapy once weekly. Treatment duration can vary but often spans 4 to 12 months. We understand this may not be workable for everyone, and we can provide referrals for treatment at a reduced fee. For those with out-of-network benefits, insurance may be able to cover some of the costs (see below). The recently enacted “No Surprises Act” ensures your right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of treatment.
Do you Take Insurance?
Providers at the Anxiety & OCD Treatment Center of Philadelphia are not on any insurance panels. However, AOTCP clinicians can provide clients with a receipt for each session that can be submitted to one’s insurance company. Patients considering treatment with the AOTCP are encouraged to contact their insurance company and ask (1) what coverage they have for out-of-network providers, (2) whether there are any limits on the number of visits per calendar year, and (3) how much the company will reimburse per session. It is your responsibility to understand your insurance coverage.
How can i become a patient?
We offer a free 15-min phone consultation to if we might be a good fit and answer any questions you have. Feel free to reach out to set this up through the form on our contact page or leave a voice message including your name, phone number, and several good times to reach you. We are often unable to answer calls directly during business hours. You can expect to receive a return call or email from one of our clinicians within 2-4 business days.
Can I get there by public transportation?
The closest train station is Suburban Station at 17th and JFK Boulevard. Walk one block west on JFK to 18th Street, turn left, and walk three blocks south to Walnut Street. Suburban Station connects to SEPTA Regional Rail lines, the Market Frankford and Broad Street Subway lines, Trolley lines, Bus routes, and PATCO to New Jersey. See http://www.septa.org/ “Plan my Trip” for more information.
what about parking?
There is a parking garage attached to the building. Rates vary depending upon the time of day you are parking (Click here for current rates). Self-parking spaces sometimes run out mid-day. There is usually Valet parking on the second floor of the garage (on your way out) for no additional fee.
Metered street parking is available, but difficult to find, particularly on Walnut Street. Walk south (Spruce, Pine, Lombard) a few blocks for slightly better availability. Read signs carefully. Most spaces have a 2-hour limit.
