Mental health services

Four ways to get the support you need.

Every clinician on our mental health team is licensed in New York State and in-network with NY Medicaid Managed Care plans.

Why our approach is different

Mental health care that fits a New Yorker's life.

Most New Yorkers we see have tried therapy before — and gave up because of cost, schedule, language, or finding someone they actually clicked with. We start from those realities, not from a textbook.

What you can expect

  • Match with a clinician within 48 hours, not 6 weeks
  • Evening and weekend appointments (many clinicians work after-hours)
  • Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Arabic providers
  • Trauma-informed approach across all our clinicians
  • LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally responsive care
  • Coordination with your PCP if you want it

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you really take NY Medicaid for mental health?
Yes — and this is a big deal. Most therapists in NYC don't accept Medicaid because reimbursement is low. We've built our model to accept Healthfirst, Fidelis, MetroPlus, EmblemHealth, MVP, Anthem HealthPlus, Molina, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan Medicaid HMO products with $0 copay for most members.
Will I see the same therapist every session?
Yes — therapeutic relationship requires continuity. Once matched, you stay with that clinician unless you choose to switch (no questions asked) or they leave the practice. We don't rotate you through whoever's available.
What if I need both therapy and medication?
This is common and we coordinate it well. Your therapist and prescriber communicate (with your consent) so you're not the one passing messages between them. Sessions can be scheduled close together for efficiency.
Can I get a diagnosis for school, work, or disability?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Our clinicians provide documentation for school accommodations (504/IEP), workplace accommodations (ADA), and disability applications. Documentation reflects the actual clinical picture — we don't write fake notes.
Is this confidential? Will my parents/employer see?
Strict confidentiality applies to all mental health care. Adults 18+ have full privacy from family. Minors have specific NY State protections for sensitive topics. Employers never see anything. The only exceptions are imminent safety concerns (we'd discuss any such situation with you first).

You shouldn't have to wait 6 weeks to feel better.
