Frequently Asked Questions.

How much does therapy cost?

Our rates will be provided to you during outreach. There are different rates at different practices and we encourage you to explore what fits your budget best. We will confirm rates and options up front before ever booking an intake so you can be informed and feel comfortable. Our rates range from $125-$250 per session.

We offer sliding scale options for clients who qualify and encourage you to inquire about this option before your first session. We know that investing in therapy both emotionally and financially is a big decision. We also encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider to gather information about coverage. We know the insurance world can get confusing, so we are also here to help if you’re unsure about what your provider covers.

Do you take insurance?

Sessions NY is a predominantly an out-of-pocket practice, which allows us to offer personalized and flexible care. That said, we do have some availability to accept insurance depending on the carrier and specific plan. Our carriers are listed on the Insurance Page of this website.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your insurance information, and we’ll gladly check if we’re able to accommodate your plan or guide you through your options.

What does the session cost cover?

We’re always happy to walk you through what our rates include, especially if it helps you feel more informed and at ease. In short, our fees reflect not just time spent in session, but also the work happening behind the scenes: administrative tasks, ongoing clinical supervision, continuing education, and practice operations. As a boutique practice, we intentionally keep our team and caseloads small. This allows us to devote thoughtful, individualized attention to each client, both during and between sessions.

Are there limitations to therapy at Sessions?

Yep! Every practice and therapist has limitations and we try to stay honest and vocal about ours. At Sessions, we’re committed to offering a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a meaningful way.

While therapy can be deeply healing, our services are not crisis services, a quick fix, or a substitute for medical care. We don’t provide 24/7 support or prescribe medication. Our work is also not a legal or forensic service, and we do not write court-related evaluations or documentation unless appropriately requested.

If a concern ever arises that falls outside our scope of practice, we’ll do our best to guide you toward additional support because your care matters, even when we’re not the best fit for that particular need.

Is this confidential?

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship it’s what allows you to speak freely, explore openly, and trust the process. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to creating a safe space where your personal information and experiences are treated with respect and care. So yes, it is confidential but lets give you more deets….

In individual therapy, what you share stays between you and your therapist, with very few exceptions required by law such as situations involving imminent harm to yourself or others, suspected abuse or neglect, or a court order. We’ll always explain these limits clearly and transparently.

If you engage in couples therapy or active therapy sessions (e.g., walking or outdoor-based work), confidentiality can take on a slightly different shape. For couple’s therapy, information shared in couples therapy sessions is confidential; however, when working with more than one person, confidentiality applies to the couple as a unit. This means that what is shared in joint sessions is not kept secret from either partner. For active or outdoor sessions, while your personal information remains confidential, the setting may naturally be less private than a traditional office. We’ll work together to choose locations and strategies that preserve your comfort and confidentiality as much as possible.

No matter the format, we’ll always communicate openly about boundaries, limits, and confidentiality. Our goal is to build trust through transparency so you can feel safe to do the meaningful work of healing and growth

How does therapy end? Do I “graduate”?

Therapy doesn’t always come with a dramatic farewell or a slow fade-out to emotional piano music or glitter cannon (unless requested then consider it done). In fact, there are a few different ways it can wrap up, some planned, some unexpected, and some with a bit of “it’s not you, it’s me” energy. Here’s the rundown of the top 5:

1. The Clean Exit
   You did the thing! Goals met. Insights gained. Patterns un-patterned. You’re feeling stable(ish) and ready to roll. We love a main character arc. This is the best-case scenario and honestly, a flex.

2. The “Life is Chaotic, BRB” Pause
   Your calendar exploded, your wallet sighed, or your nervous system just said “not today.” It happens. We’re not going anywhere, therapy can be paused like a podcast. Come back when it makes sense. We appreciate these “BRB” conversations as within them, there is healing.

3. The Disappearing Act
   You ghost. We get it. Modern life is wild and you’re not the first to vanish into the therapy Bermuda Triangle. If you ever reappear, we won’t make it weird. Pinky promise.

4. The Therapist Led Exit (Gasp!)
   Look, sometimes we have to call it. Maybe there’s a boundary issue. Maybe your needs are beyond what we can offer. Maybe we know your ready and that its just time. Maybe we have lost the plot. Whatever it is, we’ll end it cleanly and help you land somewhere that fits. You are at the center of our decisions, even the hard ones.

5. Therapy Isn’t a Fling. It’s a Long-Term Relationship with Yourself

   Therapy can be a part of your life’s process and help you in a variety of ways. Therapy isn’t some Netflix series you binge and forget, it’s more like your favorite cozy café: there when you need it, waiting when you don’t. Because lets face it, therapy isn’t just a phase: it’s your timeless ticket to staying grounded, growing, and vibing at your best, on your terms, in every season.
