Online Therapy in New York With Select Carelon Plans

Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is important. Being able to use your insurance can make beginning—and continuing—therapy feel more manageable.

I provide online individual therapy for adults throughout New York and accept select commercial Carelon Behavioral Health plans through Headway. Sessions are held securely by telehealth and are a full 60 minutes.

My practice may be a good fit if you are navigating anxiety, overthinking, burnout, perfectionism, avoidance, relationship stress, grief, creative blocks, or a major life transition—and are looking for a thoughtful, collaborative space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

Using Carelon Benefits for Therapy

Carelon administers behavioral health benefits for many different employers, unions, and health plans. Because coverage varies, your specific plan must be verified before your first session. Depending on your benefits, you may have a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. We will review your insurance information and provide an estimate of your expected cost.

Select eligible plans may include benefits connected with organizations such as SAG-AFTRA, UPS, Sheet Metal Workers Local 28, and certain UFCW plans.

Current participation does not include every plan administered by Carelon.

Is My Practice a Good Fit for You?

You may be used to appearing capable, thoughtful, or high-functioning while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, depleted, or hard on yourself.

 

Therapy with me may be a good fit if you are navigating:

  • Anxiety and persistent overthinking

  • Burnout, overwhelm, or difficulty slowing down

  • Perfectionism, procrastination, or avoidance

  • Relationship stress, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries

  • Grief, loss, or a major life transition

  • Creative blocks or questions about identity and purpose

  • A sense that you understand your patterns intellectually but still struggle to change them

 

My approach is collaborative, relational, and insight-oriented. Depending on your interests and needs, sessions may include traditional talk therapy, creative exploration, or art therapy. You do not need any artistic experience to work with me.

What Is Online Therapy With Me Like?

Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to what feels most useful to you.

We may explore recurring patterns, relationships, emotions, past experiences, current stressors, or the ways you have learned to cope and protect yourself. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand what is happening beneath the surface so you can make choices with greater clarity and self-trust.

Some clients prefer traditional talk therapy, while others are interested in incorporating creative reflection or art therapy. There is no pressure to make art, and no artistic experience is required.

Sessions are held by secure video and are 60 minutes long. Online therapy is available to adults located anywhere in New York at the time of the session.
