Frequently Asked Questions About Psychotherapy in NY

Sessions are 45 minutes long for individual therapy, 60-90 minutes for couples counseling, and 60-90 minutes for group therapy.

Sessions vary based on our clinicians and type of service. Individual sessions range from $125-$200, couples sessions range from $150-$250, and group therapy depends upon the group structure.

If you have out-of-network insurance coverage, you can be reimbursed based on your out-of-network benefits.

We are happy to help with out-of-network claims for your insurance. We will give you a specific type of form to send to your insurance company so that you can get reimbursed for out-of-network claims. Please call your insurance to determine if your benefits include out-of-network coverage.

We’ll use the first 1-3 sessions to take a thorough history, talk about therapy logistics (like privacy and confidentiality), and set goals for our work together.

Sessions are one to two times per week, depending on the level of support that you need. We do not offer sessions every other week. Therapy is a commitment that requires sustainable work to create long-term change. In our clinical experience, this is done best in a weekly format.

Healing takes time. Length of treatment depends on several factors, including your goals for therapy, your life history, how much support you have outside of therapy, and how persistent or intensive your symptoms are. We cannot pinpoint how long we will work together. However, we can say that, in general, our clients have worked with us for several years. That allows us to help you through any immediate crisis, find stability in about 9-10 months, and dive deeper into emotional work. This does not mean that you will be in therapy with us for the rest of your life! We want to help you meet your goals, achieve stabilization and feel that you have the tools to go out into the world and try on what you’ve learned in therapy.

We currently have some evening appointments available.

We currently offer virtual sessions for all New York State, and in-person sessions in Accord, NY (between Kingston, NY and New Paltz, NY). We use HIPAA-compliant and encrypted software for video calls to ensure your privacy and security during our sessions.

We offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy. We also run workshops and events and are happy to speak at your company or organization.

Payment of the full session fee is required for sessions canceled without 24 hours’ notice. Scheduling changes can be made on occasion, permitting availability, and you can use the online client portal to request a rescheduled appointment. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment should be made via telephone and email.

Let’s talk about it! If you find that we are not or no longer a good fit, if your financial or life situation changes or if you relocate, or for any other reason you do not want to continue therapy with us, you are under no obligation to stay. You have freedom of choice no matter how short, or long we’ve been working together. We want the opportunity to discuss this with you before ending therapy together to understand what is not working for you and ensure quality care for everyone we work with. We will do our best to refer you to a colleague in any of these cases.

We currently have appointments available. You can be seen by one of our therapists within a week of scheduling your first intake appointment.
