Fees & Insurance

Clear, upfront information on session fees, packages, and out-of-network reimbursement at New York Therapy. Every clinician offers a free 15-minute consultation.

EDITOR NOTE (remove before publishing): Figures marked “[confirm]” are proposed updates we discussed — verify before publishing. Existing Acuity figures are shown as-is. 60-minute is now featured as the default for both individual and couples work.

Start with a free consultation

Every clinician offers a complimentary, no-obligation 15-minute consultation — a relaxed way to discuss your goals and see whether we’re the right fit before booking a full session.

What you’re paying for

Our fees reflect more than the hour in session.

Every engagement includes

  • Specialized clinical work between sessions — reviewing your case, integrating Schema Therapy, EFT, and the Gottman Method, and preparing for what comes next.
  • Validated outcome tracking — structured measures so progress is visible, not assumed.
  • Tailored resources — written guidance, frameworks, and articles relevant to your specific patterns.
  • Discretion by design — all confirmations and reminders are worded generically and exclude clinical detail.

Session fees

New York Therapy is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. The 60-minute session is our recommended standard; a focused 45-minute option is available for tighter schedules. Evening hours carry a premium.

Gottman Method Couples Intensive

A concentrated alternative to weekly sessions, for couples who want significant work in a focused, immersive format.

Travis began training with The Gottman Institute in 1998 and became a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist in 2006 — among the first in the New York metropolitan region. With more than 25 years working with the method, this is no weekend-workshop credential.

Now in development. Intensive formats and pricing are being finalized. To register interest or ask about availability, please inquire on a consultation call.

We are an out-of-network practice

We do not contract with insurance companies. This protects your privacy, keeps sessions free of insurer-driven limits, and lets us dedicate full attention to your care. Many clients have out-of-network benefits that reimburse a significant portion of each session — often 50–80% after the deductible — and simply don’t realize the benefit is there.

How out-of-network reimbursement works

After each session we provide a detailed superbill — an itemized receipt with everything your insurer needs. You submit it and they reimburse you directly. HSA and FSA funds can typically be applied as well.

Ask your insurer: “What is my out-of-network outpatient mental health benefit? What is my deductible, and how much do you reimburse for CPT codes 90834 and 90847?”
