How Much Does Therapy Cost in NYC?
The cost of sessions will vary depending on the type of therapist you see. At Healthy Minds NYC, we offer various payment options, such as our insurance payment plan program, to make weekly therapy accessible to all clients.
Keep in mind that fees for psychiatrists will be the most expensive due to their high level of training and specialized skills. After all, they are medical doctors. But remember, of all mental health care providers, only psychiatrists are able to prescribe and manage medications.
At Healthy Minds NYC, our psychiatrists provide both psychotherapy and medication management. They work in collaboration with our other mental healthcare providers as a team, so regardless of who you’re seeing for psychotherapy, you can have all your mental healthcare needs met in one place with care and compassion.

Psychodynamic Therapy – Focuses on unconscious thoughts and past experiences shaping current behaviors.
Humanistic Therapy (e.g., Person-Centered Therapy) – Encourages self-exploration and personal growth.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – Often used for PTSD and trauma-related disorders.
What Kind of Therapist Do I Need for Mental Health?
Psychologist (PhD/PsyD) – Provides therapy, psychological assessments, and research-backed treatments.
Licensed Therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, etc.) – Offers various types of talk therapy.
Psychiatrist (MD/DO) – A medical doctor who can prescribe medications for mental health disorders.
Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) – Can diagnose and prescribe medications for mental health conditions.
Is It Better To See A Therapist Or A Psychiatrist?
See a therapist if you need talk therapy, coping strategies, or support processing emotions.
See a psychiatrist if you need medication management for conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
Who Is Best To See For Mental Health Issues?
Since everyone’s mental health journey is unique, the best first step is scheduling a consultation. We’ll match you with one of our therapists based on your needs and goals, ensuring you get the support that’s right for you.
At Healthy Minds NYC, our experienced OCD psychiatrists offer medication management and collaborate with our therapists to provide you with a well-rounded approach to treatment.
What To Expect At Your First Session?
Your first session is an assessment where your therapist will learn about your goals, needs, and any concerns you have. This is also your chance to ask questions about their experience and approach. Pay attention to how comfortable you feel—ask yourself if this is someone you can open up to.
You’ll work with your therapist to set a regular meeting schedule. It may take a few sessions to build rapport, so be patient as you both determine if it’s the right fit.
