My staff offers a sliding scale from $1 to $125 and is available 7 days a week by appointment. Therapy’s not rich people lying on a couch anymore! Modern therapy is very effective and can be affordable, even in NYC!

I’d like to put in a word about TherapySafetyNet.org, which provides referrals for reduced fee psychotherapy for New Yorkers who do not have health insurance. We are a not for profit coalition of licensed psychologists and social workers in private practice. Each of us has made a commitment to offer psychotherapy at significantly reduced fees to meet the needs of clients who otherwise would fall through the cracks. Across our network, our group covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Ithaca, and Rockland, Westchester, and Ulster Counties. We provide a free, individually tailored referral process to match prospective clients’ needs with the specialities of our therapists. Please visit TherapySafetyNet.org to learn more.

I would like to add the Center for Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy. Their site kind of sucks but it really is a good place
