New York Therapist

How do I book a session? 

Get started by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation call HERE to get a sense of what working together might feel like. From there, we can discuss next steps in working together. The initial call will be with the clinical director, Alivia Hall. 

What are your rates?

Individual psychotherapy sessions are between $180 - $300, depending on the experience of the clinician you work with. We accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards. Please contact us directly to discuss options. 

How long are sessions?

Sessions are typically 45 minutes in length unless otherwise specified (longer sessions can be accommodated.) 

How frequently would we meet?

Research shows that therapy yields the most consistent results when started on a weekly basis. Therapists might also recommend stepping frequency up or down on a case-by-case basis.

How long does therapy last?

Everyone's therapy journey is unique, so the timeline can vary and is highly individualized. Some clients are interested in working short-term on a specific issue, whereas others are looking to do longer-term work. This will be an ongoing conversation between the therapist and the client.

It's essential to understand that therapy isn't a quick fix; it's a process of self-discovery and growth that results in lasting, meaningful change. We'll collaborate to set achievable goals and reflect on your progress as we go. Although change requires time, dedication, and effort, the skills and insights you gain from therapy can profoundly impact your life in the long run. 

Do you accept insurance?

Like many providers in New York City, LiteMinded is not in-network with insurance. In our experience, most clients with out of network benefits receive a reimbursement of between 60% - 80% of the cost of their sessions, after their deductible is met. Prior to speaking with us, please inquire with your insurance provider to see what your specific out-of-network coverage for mental/behavioral health services is. 

Some helpful questions to ask when calling:

1) Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health coverage? 
2) What is my out of network deductible? How much of my deductible has been met? 
3) What percentage of outpatient psychotherapy sessions are covered per session?
4) What is the process for submitting claims?

Do you provide superbills?

LiteMinded provides all clients with monthly superbills via email that include all of the necessary information for your claims to be processed through insurance.

What can I expect from my first appointment?

In your first session, we will be asking you a range of questions to get a better understanding of your history and development. We will then collaboratively set treatment goals and clarify what you hope to get out of therapy.

Are sessions in-person or virtual?

LiteMinded’s clinical director, Alivia, can offer in-person services on Wednesdays in LiteMinded’s office in Flatiron, located between 30th and 5th Avenue. However, there is currently a waitlist for in-person services. 

All other sessions are virtual and conducted using a HIPAA-compliant video platform. 

What is the cancellation policy?

We request 24 hours notice for cancellations that are not an emergency. Non-emergent cancellations within 24 hours are subject to the full session rate.
