Frequently Asked Questions

How To Find A Therapist in NYC

Congratulations! By deciding to start NYC therapy, you’ve already taken a significant step toward better mental health. Now that you’re ready to navigate your mental well-being, it’s time to start your search for a top therapist in NYC.

Of course, finding the right match is easier than it sounds—and it’s normal for psychotherapy to take some trial and error before you find a good fit for your mental health needs. Whether you’re dealing with negative feelings, anxiety disorders, or other mental health problems, here’s how to find a compassionate new therapist in New York City.

How can I find therapists near me?

If you’re leaning toward in-person therapy, finding a local in-person therapist might seem overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of dealing with time-consuming searches and referrals that don’t work for you, start with a simple Google search like “therapists near me” to get a better idea of what mental health professionals are in your area.

From there, you can use online databases to refine your search. With online therapy databases, you can quickly narrow your search parameters by personal references, specific challenges, and treatment modality (virtual vs. in-person therapy) to find the right person for your mental health needs. If you’d like to use insurance coverage to cover the cost of therapy sessions, head to your insurance company’s website to search for in-network providers in your area.

How do I find the right therapist?

It might be tempting to schedule an NYC therapy appointment with the first therapist available, but it’s necessary to take your time and find the right fit. Before searching for a prospective therapist, take a step back and consider your mental health goals. Are you trying to navigate a stressful move? Try searching for a therapist who has experience with life transitions. Do you want to learn better communication skills to deal with family conflicts or problems in your relationship? Family therapy or couples therapy might be the best choice for you.

No matter what you’re going through, we’ll help you find the best therapist for your needs. Our intelligent scheduling system focuses on your therapeutic goals, personal preferences, and availability so you can skip the time-consuming search for a new therapist.

Which type of therapist is right for me?

Before you make your first NYC therapy appointment, you’ll need to figure out which type of therapist is right for you. For example, if you’re struggling with relationship issues, you might attend couples counseling with your partner to work on your communication skills. On the other hand, if you’re navigating family issues, you might search for a prospective therapist with experience in family therapy.

If unsure where to start, spend some time researching your mental health symptoms and different therapeutic approaches. For instance, if you’re navigating a life transition, psychodynamic psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be the best choice. In turn, you’ll want to narrow your search to a therapist with certifications or specialized training in psychodynamic therapy or CBT.

At The Therapy Group of NYC, our advanced scheduling system searches for openings based on your mental health issue, personal preferences, and schedule.

How do I find the right online therapist?

Even if you’re looking to start psychotherapy ASAP, finding the right therapist for your mental health needs is still essential. According to the American Psychological Association, a good fit isn’t just important—it’s necessary to find a good therapist if you want to reap the mental health benefits of therapy.

Fortunately, online therapy can help you find a local therapist so you can start working on your mental health. If you decide to try online therapy, spend some time finding the teletherapy platform that works best for you since many online therapy providers offer different services.

Supportive Online Therapy in New York City

Whether you’re living with a mental health condition or looking to improve your mental wellness, NYC therapy can be a powerful tool. Because your therapeutic relationship can play an important role in your treatment’s success, finding a therapist that meets your personal preferences and requirements is essential.

To find a mental health professional, consider searching for an online therapist through The Therapy Group of NYC. From relationship problems to low self-esteem, we’ll help you find a compassionate licensed therapist to jumpstart your mental health journey. With the right therapist, it’s possible to take control of your mental wellness and live a fulfilling life.

Cost of Therapy and Using Insurance

Maybe you’re thinking about scheduling your first psychotherapy appointment, but you’re not sure what kind of out-of-pocket costs to expect. Cost is one of the biggest barriers to mental health care, and knowing what to expect beforehand can make your therapeutic process much smoother.

Although the cost of NYC therapy is a real concern for many New Yorkers, it’s often possible to access comprehensive mental health care that fits your budget. Here’s everything you need to know about New York therapy to find the right therapist for your financial needs.

What's the average cost of therapy in NYC?

The average cost of therapy in NYC is around $300 per session. With that said, it’s important to remember that the cost of therapy appointments will vary based on several factors, including how many sessions you book, your location, and your therapist’s experience.

For example, the cost of seeing a therapist can vary significantly based on location. If you visit a therapist in Soho or Manhattan, the average rate can range from $250 to $400 or more for a 45-minute session. Meanwhile, if your insurance company offers mental health benefits and you book an appointment with an in-network therapist, you’ll be able to save on out-of-pocket expenses.

How much does therapy cost with health insurance?

The cost of therapy sessions will vary depending on your specific insurance plan and mental health benefits. The Affordable Care Act requires all health insurance plans to cover mental health services. In other words, people with insurance typically have coverage for therapy sessions. For most people, getting psychotherapy through your in-network benefits involves a co-pay, varying from a few dollars to $50 or more.

In NYC, about 60% of therapists are out-of-network providers. Out-of-network therapists do not work for insurance companies allowing them to instead focus on your treatment versus what the insurance companies instruct them to do. You’ll pay an out-of-network provider and then seek reimbursement from your insurance company. At the Therapy Group of NYC, we’ll assist you with that process by submitting paperwork to your insurance company on your behalf. This makes the process less confusing and usually quicker.

Before scheduling an NYC therapy appointment, research your insurance plan to learn more about your benefits. With some insurance plans, you’ll need to choose an in-network therapist to qualify for insurance coverage. You might also need to meet other criteria, such as having a mental health diagnosis, meeting your plan’s deductible, or getting a referral for psychotherapy treatment from your primary care doctor.

Does insurance cover online therapy?

Online therapy is available through several teletherapy services and individual providers. While most online therapy providers accept insurance, some don’t. At the Therapy Group of NYC, we’re an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice. If you’re eligible for reimbursement, we’ll turn your payment into an expedited electronic request for out-of-network reimbursement.

Today, most states require insurance companies to cover teletherapy, the same as traditional therapy appointments. However, checking with your online therapy provider regarding insurance is important before scheduling your first appointment.

How can you pay for mental health care?

Health insurance offers most clients the best way to pay for therapy. That may be through in-network benefits or out-of-network benefits. If you’re unsure whether your insurance provider provides mental health benefits, call your insurer to learn more about the mental health services covered by your plan.

If you don’t have health insurance, you may qualify for an insurance plan through your state’s Medicaid program. Note that the Therapy Group of NYC does not accept Medicare or Medicaid. In addition, some employee assistance programs (EAPs) can help fund short-term mental health care for employees. If you’re currently a college student, many universities offer sliding-scale therapy sessions. Try contacting your school’s health center to learn more about sliding-scale mental health services for students.

Comprehensive Mental Health Support in New York City

Starting NYC therapy might feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re interested in trying online therapy or searching for a new therapist, we’re here to help you find a good fit.

To take the first step toward better mental health, reach out to a mental health professional through The Therapy Group of NYC. Our compassionate therapists in NYC will help you navigate your mental health problems and build a brighter future.

Finding a new therapist isn’t easy. And if you’re already feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, or other mental health concerns, you don’t want to wait until a therapist has an open appointment near you. Whether you’re working long hours, dealing with a chaotic schedule, or need mental health support ASAP, here’s everything you need to know to find a therapist who has openings for NYC therapy.

Getting Started with Therapy

Finding a new therapist isn’t easy. And if you’re already feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, or other mental health concerns, you don’t want to wait around until a therapist has an open appointment near you. Whether you’re working long hours, dealing with a chaotic schedule, or need mental health support ASAP, here’s everything you need to know to find a therapist who has openings for NYC therapy.

How can I schedule a therapy appointment now?

Sometimes, mental health professionals have long waiting lists, especially if there’s an increased demand for mental health services. Reaching out for professional help takes courage, and the last thing you want to do is wait to see someone.

If you need emotional support as soon as possible, consider trying online therapy. At The Therapy Group of NYC, we offer an intelligent scheduling system that searches for openings based on your unique mental health needs, preferences, and schedule. This way, instead of waiting for your next therapy appointment, you can meet with a compassionate therapist to kickstart your psychotherapy journey.

What should I do while I'm waiting for my first session?

Once you’ve scheduled your first appointment, it’s time to start preparing for therapy sessions. When you have free time, set aside 10 to 15 minutes to pinpoint your mental health goals. Choose a quiet, comfortable space to jot down your current mental health problems, what you’d like to work on, and what you’d like to achieve during psychotherapy.

In the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out for short-term mental health care. If you’re in crisis or need immediate support, you can reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or using the chat box at 988lifeline.org. Alternatively, you can text “MHA” to 741-741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.

What should I expect during my first session?

Once you’ve scheduled your first session, it’s time to start preparing. Think of your initial session as an opportunity to learn more about your therapist, their therapeutic process and style, and their approach to treatment. During your first few appointments, you might ask your new therapist about their experience with your specific challenges, what types of therapy they recommend, and what to expect from your treatment plan.

It might take a few sessions until you feel comfortable, and that’s completely normal. You’ll know you’ve found a good fit when you can navigate difficult issues and express your vulnerability in a safe, judgment-free space. If you’re uncomfortable with your new mental health counselor after a few appointments, remember that it’s OK to trust your gut and continue your search.
