About Our Therapists and NYSHIP
Often, finding a therapist who accepts your insurance can feel like one more barrier between you and the support you need. If you have NYSHIP (New York State Health Insurance Program), we can help.
NYSHIP provides comprehensive mental health benefits, which means your insurance can help cover the cost of therapy and possible to get the care you need. Unlike some insurance plans that severely limit mental health coverage or require high out-of-pocket costs, NYSHIP offers strong reimbursement for therapy services.
At Heart in Mind Psychotherapy, we work with NYSHIP to help you access the mental health care you’re looking for. We understand the reimbursement process, will take care of all documentation, and submit your claims to make sure that your therapy is covered.
This means you can focus on your mental health rather than worrying about whether therapy will be financially out of reach.

What We Treat
Heart in Mind Psychotherapy provides therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. Our therapists have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples and families, and we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
We provide support for:
- Depression – Whether you’re experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, or feelings of hopelessness, therapy can help you understand what’s contributing to your depression and develop strategies to feel better.
- Anxiety Disorders – Including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and phobias. We help you reduce worry, manage physical symptoms, and regain a sense of control.
- Trauma and PTSD – If you’ve experienced trauma, we use evidence-based approaches to help you process what happened and reduce symptoms like flashbacks, hypervigilance, and avoidance.
- ADHD – For teens, and adults struggling with attention, focus, organization, or impulsivity, therapy can provide skills and strategies to improve functioning at school, work, and home.
- OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) – We work with clients experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, using therapeutic approaches designed specifically for OCD.
- Eating Disorders – Including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and disordered eating patterns. We provide compassionate, non-judgmental support to help you develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.
- Grief and Loss – If you’re struggling with the death of a loved one, a major life transition, or another significant loss, therapy can help you process your emotions and find a path forward.
- Life Transitions and Stress – Major changes like moving, career shifts, divorce, or becoming a parent can be overwhelming. Therapy provides support and perspective during difficult transitions.
- Self-Esteem and Identity Issues – If you’re struggling with how you see yourself, your sense of worth, or questions about who you are, therapy can help you develop greater self-compassion and clarity.
We also work with clients who don’t have a specific diagnosis but are simply looking for support, guidance, or someone to talk to during a challenging time. NYSHIP has fewer limitations for our therapists than other insurance, allowing us to provide you with help designed to take you where you deserve to be.
Couples Counseling with NYSHIP
In addition to individual therapy, Heart in Mind Psychotherapy offers couples counseling for partners who want to strengthen their relationship, work through conflict, or address challenges that are affecting their connection.
Couples counseling can help with:
- Communication Problems – Learning how to express your needs, listen effectively, and have productive conversations rather than arguments that go in circles.
- Trust and Infidelity – Rebuilding trust after betrayal or addressing patterns of dishonesty in the relationship.
- Conflict Resolution – Reducing the frequency and intensity of arguments and finding healthier ways to navigate disagreements.
- Intimacy Issues – Addressing emotional or physical disconnection and rebuilding closeness.
- Life Transitions – Navigating major changes like having a baby, career shifts, or blending families.
- Pre-Marital Counseling – Preparing for marriage by discussing expectations, values, and potential challenges before they become problems.
Many people don’t realize that NYSHIP can help cover couples counseling, making it more affordable to get the support your relationship needs. We’re happy to work with you to ensure you can access this important service.
