Our Approach to Psychotherapy

As a comprehensive mental health practice, at Bryant West Psychology, we can combine psychotherapies to address the complexities of the issues you or your child bring to treatment. We can also integrate psychiatric (medication) and assessment services as needed in collaboration with you - all in house, our house, with a team of clinicians who can readily communicate with each other and work together to improve your care or that of your child.

We believe that psychotherapy is best done through a warm, trusting and empathic relationship with a professional who is well trained to address your or your child’s needs. Psychotherapy can offer insight, new skills and perspectives, validation and support, as well as challenges to entrenched patterns of behavior and internalized messages that may have once been adaptive but may now have become self-defeating and limiting - most importantly psychotherapy primarily relies on a healing relationship to a clinician who hears you, supports you, and encourages you to take risks and grow into  your best self - one that is more authentic, more fully alive to yourself and others. For your child, psychotherapy can provide an experience that foster and enhance psychological growth and development in important ways - an important aspect of psychotherapy for adults as well.

Convenient Midtown Location and Telehealth Appointments Available

Our central location in Midtown (40th and Broadway) near multiple NYC transportation hubs (Pennsylvania and Grand Central Stations, NY Port Authority, and Times Square Subways), makes us an easy option whether you are on the Upper East Side, Upper Westside, Downtown, Brooklyn, Jersey City and beyond. Our supportive, nurturing environment is convenient to home or office throughout NYC and its adjacent communities.

Our telehealth services give you access to the same exceptional services with greater flexibility throughout all of New York State, and some of your clinicians are licensed to provide telehealth services in New Jersey, as well as other states (indicated above for each clinician). We are proud to serve clients from all New York City boroughs in-person as well as offer telehealth for patients across New York State and in New Jersey.

Fees and Insurance

We understand that out-of-pocket costs can play a significant role in whether you pursue psychotherapy, as well as other mental health treatments, which is why we are transparent about our service fees, and will work with you to make our services as affordable as we can. We are in-network with Aetna as well as a host of student insurance plans, including that of NYU, Columbia University, Fordham, New School, FIT and Pratt. We also offer sliding scale fees for individuals paying out of pocket or who have out-of-network insurances.  We bill most insurances directly to avoid you the hassle.

Schedule a Consultation Today

To learn more about our services or schedule an initial consultation, we invite you to contact one of our NYC psychologists today.
