Yes! We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for all our therapy services. Online therapy provides:

  • Complete convenience from the comfort of your home
  • Same quality of care as in-person sessions
  • Flexible scheduling options
  • Access to therapy anywhere in New York State
  • No travel time or parking concerns

All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection. Our telehealth platform is easy to use and protects your privacy.

We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy life:

Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Sunday 9:00 PM - 9:00 PM

We understand that traditional 9-5 hours don't work for everyone. That's why we offer evening and weekend appointments at all our locations.

Your first session, often called an "intake," is designed to help us understand you and your needs:

  • Introduction: Get to know your therapist and establish comfort
  • Assessment: Discuss your concerns, history, and current situation
  • Goal Setting: Identify what you hope to achieve through therapy
  • Treatment Plan: Collaboratively develop an approach tailored to you
  • Questions: Ask anything about the therapy process

First sessions typically last 50-60 minutes. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and your therapist is there to support you without judgment.

The duration of therapy varies greatly depending on your individual needs and goals:

  • Short-term therapy: 8-12 sessions for specific issues or situations
  • Medium-term therapy: 3-6 months for moderate concerns
  • Long-term therapy: 6+ months for deep-rooted issues or ongoing support

Many clients see improvement within the first few sessions. We'll regularly review your progress together and adjust your treatment plan as needed. You're in control of how long you continue therapy.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. If you don't have insurance:

  • Self-Pay Options: We offer competitive self-pay rates
  • Sliding Scale: Limited sliding scale spots available based on financial need
  • Payment Plans: Flexible payment arrangements can be discussed
  • Superbills: We can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement

Please contact our office to discuss your situation. We're committed to working with you to find a solution that makes therapy accessible.
