Meet Our Director of Referral



This is Lois Wedin, LCSW, our Director of Referral.
She has had many years’ experience counseling people who are thinking about entering therapy.
She will get to know you and then will select a therapist for you.
Questions she is frequently asked:
What happens at the referral interview?
How long do I have to wait to get a referral interview?
You no longer need to wait. Schedule an appointment here!
How long after the referral interview will I meet my therapist?
I almost always can make a referral for you within two to three weeks of our meeting.
What if I only want to have a male therapist? What if I only want to have a female therapist?
I have a really busy schedule. Can you accommodate that?
mornings, afternoons, evenings, late evening, Saturday, Sunday.
What if your Greenwich Village office is inconvenient for me?
What if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist?
This can happen. I’d urge you to discuss your discomfort with your therapist. Sometimes that’s all it takes to get on track with each other. But if you should decide that this therapist simply is not for you, call me, we’ll talk about it, and I can refer you to a different therapist.
How do you decide what my therapy fee will be?
We use a fee scale that’s based on your income, the number of people being supported by that income, and any unusual expenses you have. I’m told by many people who use our services that they find our fees to be fair and manageable.
What if I need psychiatric medication?
Our primary services are psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. But if you need medication as well, we have a group of consulting psychiatrists who work with us and to whom your therapist can refer you.
What if I’m still not sure that I need or want therapy?
I still have more questions.
If you have additional questions we can discuss those at our referral interview. But if it’s important to you to know the answers now, please feel free to email us at [email protected] or call our office (212) 924-7440, #3 and leave a message asking me to call you back. Or if you’re ready, set up an appointment for us to meet.
