Therapist's note
The City Psychotherapy New York is an insurance-friendly, out-of-network, private pay practice.
Step #1: Clients pay the full session fee at the time of session. Session fees start at $120 per session, depending on the specific provider, and are payable by all major credit cards.
Step #2: If you are interested in using your insurance, PPO insurance plans often cover anywhere from 30-80% of the session cost for out-of-network therapy after your deductible has been met. We offer a Free Benefits Checker to help you clarify your out-of-network benefits.
Step #3: As a courtesy to our clients, we are happy to submit your out-of-network insurance claims on your behalf at no additional cost to you. Any reimbursement will be sent directly to you from your insurance company.
