Getting to know Walt Hirtzel

With over 46 years of psychotherapeutic practice at several prestigious agencies, clinics, and hospitals, as well as maintaining a private practice, I bring extensive experience to my work. I am an honorably discharged veteran of the Vietnam War and have completed several years of personal psychoanalytical treatment, which has proven to be a valuable asset in my role as a therapist. My professional career is unblemished and includes an additional license to supervise other professionals. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University. My clinical training over the years includes sessions with reputable mental health personalities such as Dr. Albert Ellis and Dr. Stanton Samenow. I have always prided myself on maintaining clinical supervision of my casework with long-time colleagues. Treatment is offered for children (ages 12 and above) through adults, with an all-inclusive approach to sexual orientation, as well as marital and family therapy. As time permits, I have volunteered to offer select lectures on subjects such as "Inside the Criminal Mind" and Transference and Countertransference. I am confident that I have experience working with every kind of human suffering and level of emotional conflict.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
