How do I get started?

Reach out to us by email info@nytherapypractice.com. We’ll schedule a short intro call to discuss benefits, logistics and what you are looking to achieve in therapy.

How do I know if therapy, or you as a therapist, is the right fit for me?

Learning if we are a good fit can take time and intuition. Building a relationship where you feel comfortable and safe is essential. Just like all relationships some aren’t a good fit and some are.

What are different therapy styles? What is offered at NYTP?

Some widely practiced therapy styles we offer are Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy “CBT” and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy “DBT”, Attachment Based-Theory Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy “EMDR”. 

How long are sessions?

Individual sessions are 45-50 minutes. Couples & Family sessions are 55 minutes. Group sessions are between 60 and 70 minutes.

How frequent are sessions?

Sessions are generally once or twice a week. We believe regular sessions are essential to a constructive therapeutic process.

Do you accept insurance? How do benefits work?

We are considered an out of network provider. If your insurance company offers out-of-network benefits, they will reimburse you for some or all of the cost of our sessions. The best way to find out about coverage is to call your insurance company directly and ask the following:

• Do I have out-of-network benefits

• What is the deductible and has it been met?

• What percentage of sessions are covered and what percentage co-insurance is there, if any?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

We are happy to assist you in coordinating out-of-network benefits with your insurance company and submit our sessions for you directly for reimbursement.

What is your payment policy?

Payment is due at the end of each session. We accept cash, Venmo, checks and most major credit cards. We offer limited sliding scale fees based on availability and need.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

In a first session, the aim is usually to get to know each other, to start to understand what has been causing you difficulties, and to reach a joint understanding of how to move forwards – this may be longer term therapy, a different type of service, or even no therapy at all.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel an appointment, we require 48 hours notice. Since it is not always possible to fill the time reserved for you, we reserve the right to charge your usual fee if you do not give 48 hours notice and we are unable to find a time reschedule a makeup session within that week.
