Therapy for Mood Disorders in New York City

You may benefit from therapy if changes in your mood or emotions are persistent, difficult to manage, or begin to interfere with your daily life. This might include feeling consistently sad, hopeless, irritable, overwhelmed, or disconnected, as well as changes in motivation, sleep, energy, or enjoyment of activities you once found meaningful. You don’t have to have a formal diagnosis to seek support. Therapy can provide a space to better understand what you’re experiencing, explore patterns that may be affecting your mood, and develop tools to help you feel more balanced and engaged in your life.

Therapy can help you better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to changes in your mood. It provides a supportive space to process difficult emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and build skills for managing stress and navigating challenging periods. Therapy can also help you reconnect with activities and relationships that are meaningful to you, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop a greater sense of stability and balance in your everyday life.

There are several evidence-based approaches that can be helpful when working with mood disorders, and therapy is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that may contribute to low mood or emotional distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions while focusing on your values and what matters most to you. Other therapeutic strategies may be incorporated as needed to help you build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and sustainable changes in your life.

I offer virtual therapy sessions throughout New Jersey and New York, providing a convenient and private way to access therapy from the comfort of your own space.

My fee is $250 for a 45-minute individual therapy session. I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, depending on your insurance plan, you may have out-of-network mental health benefits that allow you to receive reimbursement for a portion of your session fee. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your specific out-of-network benefits, deductible, reimbursement rate, and any required documentation.

Working with an out-of-network therapist can also offer greater flexibility and choice in finding a therapist who is the right fit for your needs, rather than being limited to a specific insurance network. It may also provide more flexibility in the therapeutic process and the type of care you receive. If helpful, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
