“The quality of your life is where you live emotionally”– Tony Robbins

 We often find that life isn’t what we expect it to be. Having grown up in a frum, warm home, married just after graduating from Stern, with a successful career in finance, I never anticipated finding myself divorced in my early 30s with two young daughters. Like for most of us, where private school tuition and the cost of living is exceptionally high, adding on an extra expense for therapy for yourself or your children may seem untenable. What I’ve discovered, that you may not be aware of, is that it is possible to get insurance to reimburse you, almost in full, for out of network therapy, anywhere from $150-$350 per session. As a Patient Advocate, I help therapy patients, individuals, couples, and children negotiate with their insurance plans to get these reimbursements.

In less than 48 hours, we will find ourselves at the threshold of the New Year. On one hand the days are long, and at the same time, the weeks feel short. Although we are blessed to have a month designated for preparation for this Holy Day, the month of Elul is quickly drawing to a close. The years as a student in Yerushalayim and at Stern College, during which I had the gift of endless hours to dedicate toward study and mental preparation for the Yamim Noraiim, are a distant memory (the post-it notes and margin notes in my machzor remain, and bridge the time gap back to the year 2005). The reality is, that this time of year is a hectic one. The transition from summer to the new school year, getting the kids settled, catching up on work and Yom Tov preparations… I feel lucky that I have the opportunity to hear the shofar blasts even once during Elul - at my children’s first day of school orientation.
