About
Dr. Vandekar is described as a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her doctorate from Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology. She completed a predoctoral internship at the University of Houston-Clear Lake Counseling Center and a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Jeffrey Binder. She describes herself as “a generalist” with seven years of experience across “university counseling centers, hospitals, and community mental health clinics.”
Her clinical approach combines “psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment-based treatment approaches,” incorporating “mindfulness, trauma-focused, and CBT interventions as appropriate.” She emphasizes “the therapy relationship as one of the most important factors in our work together.” Her background also includes research at Penn State University and the University of Pennsylvania studying psychotherapy processes, the mind-body connection, and neurobiological changes related to psychosis, depression, and bipolar disorder.
The practice offers a “FREE 20-minute phone consultation or in-person meeting” for prospective clients, who may reach out by phone, email, or contact form. The practice asks that prospective clients not include detailed personal health information in initial messages, noting that this will be covered “during the phone consultation and intake appointment.”
Fees & Policies
According to the practice’s Fees & Policies page, “My standard fee for individual therapy is $185 for each regular 50 minute therapy session.” The practice typically meets with clients weekly for 50-minute sessions. It offers a sliding scale, described as “just a fancy way of saying negotiable,” and maintains “a limited number of appointment slots for clients who may not be able to pay the full fee based on their circumstances and needs.” The practice notes, “I do not accept insurance at this time, but can provide you with documentation that you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement.” Its cancellation policy requires “a minimum of 24-hours notice” for canceling or rescheduling an appointment.
