I'm Dr. Joseph Assouline, Psy.D. ("Dr. A"), a licensed psychologist. I offer therapy for adults and couples by secure telehealth, and Pennsylvania is one of the three states where I'm licensed.
In short: Telehealth therapy for adults and couples who are physically in Pennsylvania during sessions. Pennsylvania license PS019572. In-network with Aetna employer (non-marketplace) plans; out-of-network for other plans, with monthly superbills. Free 15-minute consultation.
Is this a fit for you?
- Adults looking for individual therapy, and couples who want to work on their relationship together. I don't see children or teens.
- You're comfortable meeting by secure video. There is no in-person office.
- Sessions can only take place while you're physically in Pennsylvania.
What I offer
Individual therapy. Support for adults working through what's hard right now, drawing on approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based techniques. See all therapy services.
Couples therapy. A structured space for both partners to be heard, whether you're navigating conflict, growing apart, or wanting to strengthen what you have. Sessions are by secure video.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements and imagery to work with distressing memories. ART is not EMDR, and it is not creative art therapy. Learn what ART is and how online sessions work.
Paying for therapy
Aetna employer plans: I'm in-network with Aetna employer (non-marketplace) plans in Pennsylvania.
Other plans: I'm out-of-network. You pay per session, and I send a monthly superbill (it includes a diagnosis code) that you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Private pay: some people prefer to pay privately even when they have insurance. Why some clients choose private pay.
Fees aren't listed on the site; you're welcome to ask about them during the free consultation. More detail is on Insurance & Superbills.
Before your free consultation
The consultation is a free 15-minute call to talk through what you're looking for and whether working together is a good fit. It can help to think about:
- What you'd like help with, and whether you're looking for individual or couples therapy.
- How you'd like to pay. If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, my guide on checking your out-of-network benefits lists questions to ask your insurer.
- Where you'll be for sessions: somewhere private in Pennsylvania with a reliable internet connection.
My Pennsylvania license
I hold Pennsylvania psychologist license PS019572, issued through the Pennsylvania State Board of Psychology. You can look it up yourself through the Pennsylvania Licensing System (PALS) license verification.
