Getting Started

Scheduling an Initial Appointment

To schedule an initial appointment please contact us at intake@empiremindsnyc.com.  We will respond to your email and set up a brief call with you to understand your needs and connect you with the therapist who will be the right fit for you or your child.

First Meeting

In our first meeting, our job is to get to know each other. There will be a lot of questions for you. We want to hear your story but we want to make sure we cover all the basics, so we will gather background information and begin to formulate a plan. We want you to ask questions too. Our goal will be to work together to identify goals for treatment.

The right fit is important, so this will be a time where you are also interviewing us to make sure you feel comfortable and safe. We also know that a relationship develops over time. This is where it should begin.

Individual sessions are 45 minutes in length.

Fees

We ask that you provide payment to at the end of each session or once you receive the invoice at the end of each month.  Although we do not accept insurance, a bill will be provided at the end of each month that can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbustify is a helpful resource to provide you with a better understanding of the reimbursement process.  Additionally, you can contact your insurance company to inquire about how the reimbursement as well as the percentage they reimburse for out-of-network care.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel an appointment please notify us at least 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged your session fee. We understand that issues come up and will waive this fee one time per year if you cancel less than 48 hours in advance.
