A phone call or an email is a good way to start- either for a preliminary inquiry or to make an appointment. The quickest
way to reach her office is by phone at (516) 883-0147 or by email: mhoulihan@manhassetpsychologist.net.

You may have questions about her practice, insurance, fees, appointment availability, etc. These can be discussed with
Dr. Houlihan prior to scheduling an in-office meeting. Appointments are scheduled weekdays and early evenings.

During your initial meeting, you will be asked about your immediate concerns and related recent history. Dr. Houlihan will
focus on helping you feel better with regard to your current issues and start to identify the psychological factors
interferring with the successful resolution of these problems.

The lenght of therapy depends on your goals. Some problems can be resolved in a few sessions. Some clients engage in
long-term treatment, while others return periodically to address specific life challenges. Psychologists do not prescribe
medication; a recommendation to see a physician for medication will be made when indicated.

Insurance plans accepted: United Healthcare, NYS Empire Plan, Medicare, and some Cigna and Aetna plans. All
insurance plans with out-of-network benefits are accepted. Determining insurance coverage can sometimes be
complicated so be sure to ask if you have any questions.
