Welcome

Dr. Lienna Wilson, clinical psychologist

Welcome to my practice! I am a clinical psychologist and specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and related disorders (such as social anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder and trichotillomania). I also treat many other conditions, such as depression, trauma, grief, substance abuse, adjustment difficulties or problems in interpersonal relationships. 

While I work with adults of all ages, I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-28) and have worked in several college counseling centers, including Princeton University, where I completed my post-doctoral residency. 

Taking a holistic approach, I make sure that we focus not only on the symptoms, but on your overall wellbeing. I create a safe and warm environment, where we work as a team to help you reach your goals and feel better.  

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to help answer any questions that you may have, and to assess whether I can address your concerns. Send me a message and we will set a phone call.


Please note: During the pandemic, I continue to provide therapy through secure and easy-to-use video sessions. 

Services

Diagnostic Evaluations

During the initial 1-2 sessions, I will provide a detailed diagnostic evaluation to help you understand your symptoms, and will discuss a treatment plan. We will review your current functioning, mental health history, as well as social and family factors that can be contributing to your distress. In addition to a clinical interview, I may ask you to fill out diagnostic questionnaires or with your permission, gather additional information from your family members or other healthcare professionals. 

Individual Therapy

Through weekly individual therapy, we can address: 

  • Anxiety in social situations (e.g., public speaking, test taking, performance, socializing in groups)
  • Depressed mood (e.g., sadness, isolation, loneliness, lack of motivation and focus)
  • Generalized worries about various aspects of life
  • Symptoms of panic
  • Obsessive thoughts or repetitive rituals (e.g., worries about germs, excessive handwashing)
  • Specific phobias (e.g., fear of flying, fear of blood and injections)
  • Hair pulling and skin picking
  • Substance use, addictive behaviors, and many other conditions.

Video therapy

In addition to in-person individual therapy, we can also meet via video sessions (through a secure, HIPAA compliant system that is easily accessible on your smartphone or computer). This may be helpful when you cannot attend a session due to illness, inclement weather, or travel.

Insurance and Fees

Princeton University Student Health Plan

I am a credentialed provider for students (and their dependents) who have Princeton University Student Health Plan. There is no referral needed, and the number of sessions is unlimited and flexible in frequency.

Out of Network Provider

I am an out-of-network provider with all other insurance plans. I will provide you with a detailed receipt for every session that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Prior to your appointment, please contact your insurance to find out the following:

  • If you have outpatient behavioral health coverage 
  • If you have a  deductible and if it has been met
  • How much you will be reimbursed if you pay out of network


Fees

Payment is due at the time of service and can be made through cash, credit card or check. Princeton University Student Health Plan members (students and their dependents) have a $20 copay for each session. For out-of-network services, my rates are:

  • Diagnostic Interview Session (1st 60-minute visit) - $210.00
  • Psychotherapy Session (follow up 50-minute sessions) - $ 190.00

Note that you can also pay for psychotherapy using your Flexible Spending Account.


No Surprise Act

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. 

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
