- 01Out-of-network therapy and superbillsPaying out of pocket for therapy is a real decision, and it is easier to make with the numbers in front of you. This page covers what out-of-network means, what a superbill does, and what to ask your insurer before you start.
- 02What to expect in your first sessionNobody arrives at a first session relaxed. Knowing the shape of it in advance takes one unknown off the pile, so here is the order things happen in and what each part is for.
- 03How telehealth therapy works in New YorkTelehealth is where the weekly work happens. The rule that shapes it is easy to state and easy to get wrong: what matters is which state you are physically sitting in when the session starts.
- 04Therapy or coaching: which one is this?Two services, two sets of rules. One is licensed clinical work with everything that comes with it, and the other is not therapy at all. The difference is not a technicality.
- 05Somatic therapy and talk therapy, comparedBoth involve talking, which is the part that confuses people. The difference is where attention goes while you talk, and what counts as a sign that something has moved.
