How do I get started?

We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to get a sense of what you're looking for and whether we're a good fit. You can schedule with a specific therapist, or we can help you figure out who on our team might be the right match.

What can therapy help with?

Clients come to us for all kinds of reasons. We support people navigating anxiety, identity exploration, relationship stress, trauma, life transitions, parenting, and neurodivergence, among many other experiences.

How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?

Sessions are typically 45 minutes. We recommend weekly therapy at the start. For children and adolescents, we begin with two 60-minute intake sessions. For couples and family work, we often meet with each member individually at the beginning of treatment.

How do I know which therapist is the right fit for me?

If someone on our team already feels like the right match, you're welcome to schedule a consultation directly with them. If you're not sure, we can talk through what you're looking for and help you land with the therapist who's the best fit.

Where is your office located?

Our office is located just off Union Square in Manhattan, near the 4/5/6, N/Q/R/W, L, and F/M subway lines. It's an elevator-accessible space.

Do you take insurance?

We're an out-of-network provider and don't bill insurance directly. We can provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Do you offer a sliding scale?

We reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for clients who need financial flexibility, based on reported income and need, typically available during daytime hours.

Do you work with LGBTQIA+ clients?

Yes, fully and thoughtfully. We are a queer-owned, queer-affirming, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed practice. Our clinicians are LGBTQIA+ identified and/or deeply competent allies.

Do you offer clinical supervision?

Yes. We offer individual supervision for clinicians seeking psychodynamic, relational, and identity-affirming guidance, led by Beth Gladstone, LCSW, a certified SIFI instructor.

Are you currently hiring?

We're always open to connecting with thoughtful, collaborative therapists who resonate with our values, especially those who bring lived experience and share identities with the communities we serve.

Understanding the cost of therapy shouldn't be another source of stress.

We want you to know what to expect before your first session. Below you'll find our how out-of-network benefits work, and how to find out what your insurance may reimburse. If anything is unclear, ask during your free consultation and we'll walk through it with you.

Using Out-of-Network Benefits

We are an out-of-network practice and don't bill insurance directly. Many PPO and POS plans reimburse a portion of the cost of therapy with an out-of-network provider.

Here's how it works:

You pay for your session at the time of service.
We provide a monthly superbill, a receipt with the codes your insurer needs.
You submit the superbill to your insurance company.
Your insurer reimburses you directly, based on your plan's out-of-network benefits.

How to Check Your Benefits

Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health care?
What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met this year
What percentage of the cost is reimbursed after the deductible?
Is there a limit on the number of sessions per year?
Do I need pre-authorization?
How do I submit a superbill or claim?

When you call, ask about the codes for the services you expect to use: 90791 for a child/adolescent initial evaluation, 90834 or 90837 for child or adult individual sessions, and 90847 or 90846 for couples and family sessions. Your insurer may reimburse each code differently.
