FAQs about in-person therapy in NYC
-
Finding the right in-person therapist in NYC can seem daunting since there are so many therapists to choose from. We recommend starting with a simple Google search, which can often show you in-person therapists nearby.
Online directories are another great resource. Most allow you to filter therapists by location, specialties, and more. You can also ask friends, family, or even your primary care physicians for local practices that they recommend.
Our practice is conveniently located in Nomad (close to Midtown, Chelsea, and Flatiron) in Manhattan, making it easy to attend sessions. But if you can't make an appointment, move, or decide you don't want in-person sessions, know that we also provide online therapy.

Choosing a therapist is a highly personal experience, and it's important to take several factors into consideration. Here are some things to keep in mind:
Expertise. Make sure any potential therapist has expertise in your area of concern (like anxiety or trauma).
Services. Therapists offer different services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and more. Make sure to double-check which services are available.
Approach. Each therapist takes a unique approach to mental health care, so do a bit of research to ensure theirs aligns with your needs and preferences.
Credentials. Verify each therapist's experience and credentials to ensure that they have training and experience in relevant areas.
Logistics. Is their office located in an area that's convenient for you? Does their scheduling availability align with yours?
Trust your gut. Schedule an initial consultation and pay attention to how you feel when talking to them.
We have a diverse team of therapists to help you find the best fit for your needs. Not sure if we're right for you? Request a free, no-pressure consultation with a specific therapist or let us help you get matched with one of our professionals.

The cost of therapy depends on several different factors. We go into detail about these in our blog post: How Much Does EMDR Therapy Cost in NYC?
At Madison Square Therapy, our fees vary by therapist. You can find each therapist's fee by visiting their individual profiles. All of our therapists are out-of-network providers, meaning they don't work directly with health insurance plans. However, you can use your out-of-network mental health benefits to help pay for services.
Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.
