Karen Axelrod, Ph.D.

I work as an out-of-network provider with successful reimbursement of 70-100% of my fees for most patients. I'll be glad to assist you in understanding this process. Providing a SAFE environment is crucial to a patient's ability to grow and deal successfully with challenges and everyday stresses.

Says it's in-network on Zocdoc but turns out to be out of network. Either the provider is deceptive or Zocdoc is incompetent.
You shouldn’t list people as being in network for health insurance when they’re not.

Dr Axelrod doesn't take insurance so ZocDoc should update. She's very nice

I like her a lot, I feel like it's safe to talk about anything

Although my appointment with Dr. Axelrod was a telehealth appointment—I felt a sense of safety with her, and I think she can help me with my anxiety. I’m looking forward to continuing.

I have been seeing Karen for over an year now, and I must say that my experience with Karen is very positive. She is caring, compassionate, and thoughtful. I have benefited from this experience in many aspects of my life, and I’d recommend Karen to anyone.
The provider is experienced, qualified and engaging. However, she is out of network and this is something that should be made clear on zocdoc or prior to appointment. I would recommend calling your insurance to confirm before seeing the provider.
I’ve seen Dr. Axelrod three times now. I feel quite comfortable with her and am confident that she will be able to help me. She is very thoughtful and her questions really make me think. In the time I’ve been working with her I’ve learned new ideas about myself and learned how to better cope with my anxiety.
I started seeing Dr. Axelrod around 3 months ago for depression and anxiety. My anxiety had gotten so debilitating that I was barely leaving the house. I was hesitant to go to therapy because of my negative experiences with other therapists. I had concerns about the cost of therapy. However, I contacted my insurance company and was pleased to learn that they would cover the majority of the fees. In the months I've been seeing Dr. Axelrod my anxiety has diminished and I am better able to live my life. From our first appointment I felt comfortable and had found a safe place. We have been able to identify some of my triggers and "warning signs" for anxiety attacks. I look forward to continuing my work with Dr. Axelrod.
I had an awful experience with Karen. First, she was late to see me, then turns out she “neglected” to inform me that she was out-of-network even though making the appointment included my submitting my insurance information. Given that I was in a state of distress, I had no choice but to speak to her anyway. Then she made me pay via Venmo. She then went on to spend more than half the time I was painfully paying out of pocket to pitch to me about the benefits of out-of-network doctors! Not to mention that all this was happening in an untidy office with food remains everywhere.
Dr Axelrod instantly put me at ease, and helped me to open up, and to share my concerns with her. She was an excellent listener, and was able to share some keen insight with me, and to help me to see an even larger view of my issues, so that I can continue to address my concerns at a deeper level. It is obvious to me, the depth of her expertise and experience, but even greater, is her accessibility, and her calm and her care and concern for the issues that were discussed. I would highly recommend Dr Axelrod to everyone seeking a strong, dedicated, and supportive advocate and professional to assist them with the deepest issues that effect their lives. Hans S.

I liked Dr. Axelrod fine. However, Zocdoc says she accepts Cigna insurance and when I got there she told me she actually doesn't! I had to pay for it out of pocket and get (partially) reimbursed. She did give me the option of canceling the appointment, but I chose to stay since I had already planned on being there. I can't continue with her since she doesn't take my insurance.
Verified patient
If I could give Dr. Axelrod 6 stars I would. I’ve been seeing Dr. Axelrod for close to two years, and can’t speak highly enough of her. I’ve worked with a few mental health specialists and found that she is the most patient, comforting, and contributive to my personal growth. Her office is quiet and provides a great escape from the nonstop noise and motion of Manhattan. She has never been late for an appointment, is always energetic and excited to talk, and is genuinely interested in my well-being.
Verified patient
This was my first time seeing a psychologist and I was a little weary, but Dr. Axelrod was able to put me at ease. Throughout our meeting, Dr. Axelrod guided me in a thoughtful and caring way. As a result of my positive response to our first session, I look forward to seeing her again.
Verified patient
Karen has always been a phenomenal therapist. She's very much in demand, so if you're debating seeing her, I'd sign up right away. She's been a huge influence and has helped me through so many issues. She's the best!
Dr. Axelrod is always there to help and is the best psychologist I've seen. She listens, provides great insight and has helped my development tremendously. I highly recommend her!
Given how anxious I was, Dr. Axelrod was able to quickly put me at ease. She knew when to intervene and when to listen, creating a safe environment. And one where I felt immediately understood. Overall, Dr. Axelrod provided me with intelligent insights, yet allowed me sufficient room to express myself in ways that I had previously felt uncomfortable.
I immediately felt comfortable with her, and felt that she was extremely concerned about me and my situation. I sensed that she was really listening to me and had an uncanny way of cutting right to the core of what I was saying. I was very impressed by her insights which were right on target. I was able to really open up to her. I felt hopeless and desperate when I went to see her but her calm, attentive manner was comforting and encouraging.
Verified patient
Dr. Axelrod is great. I've seen her a number of times and will continue to do so. She's been very helpful. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a caring, patient psychologist.
At a time in my life when I was completely lost, she guided me so that I could live my life again. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to feel safe.
Verified patient
Dr. Axelrod was kind, patient and very understanding. I thought this would be a one time visit because I had a very complex history, but I made several follow up appointments with her that day. If you're looking for someone who cares, she's it!
My experience with the above professional has been of the highest quality. I feel priviledged to be able to recommend Dr. Axelrod
