Questions from New York patients

Do you accept my health insurance in New York?
We're in-network with most major NY insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, Anthem/Empire BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum. When you book, our system makes it easy to verify your benefits ahead of time, so you know your coverage before your first session.
Where in New York do you provide care?
Anywhere you're physically located in New York during your appointment. We serve New York City and the five boroughs, Long Island, upstate cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, and suburban and rural areas — all online.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Waiting weeks for an intake isn't an option when you're struggling. We offer same-day and next-day availability for new New York patients, and you can complete your intake paperwork entirely online.
Can your providers prescribe medication in New York?
Yes. Our providers are fully licensed to prescribe in New York and can send your prescription electronically to your local pharmacy. We specialize in safe, effective non-stimulant medications and do not prescribe controlled substances.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in New York?
In New York State you don't always need a referral to see a psychiatrist. Some insurance plans, however, may require a referral from your primary care physician before they'll cover the visit, so it's worth checking your plan.
How much does a psychiatrist cost in New York?
Out-of-pocket sessions in New York City commonly range from about $200 to $500, though it varies by treatment and provider. With in-network insurance you're typically responsible only for your standard specialist copay, and we offer clear cash-pay rates plus superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.
