About Us
North Shore Center for Psychotherapy & Communication Challenges provides services in multiple areas to individuals, couples, and families.
INSURANCE: Dr. Gildston is an out-of-network insurance provider for all insurance plans. If you are allowed to go out-of-network, you will be reimbursed for whatever an out-of-network provider receives per your plan. Because Dr. Gildston specializes in successful short-term therapy, many individuals, couples, and families elect to pay out-of-pocket if they cannot go out-of-network.
Payment: Payment is by cash or payment app (Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo) prior to session.
Session Fees: 30 Min $95.00
You have nothing to lose by coming to us but your problem. We truly look forward to servicing you. And remember - there's a free consultation for each and every service we offer.
