Therapists in Brooklyn

Finding the right therapist in Brooklyn

Brooklyn sits inside New York's mental-health landscape: a mix of independent therapists, group practices, and community resources. Most of the therapists in this directory who serve Brooklynoffer both in-person appointments and telehealth, so you can choose what fits your week.

Insurance handling varies. Many therapists are in-network with major carriers like Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield in New York. Others bill out-of-network and provide a superbill you submit yourself, which can be reimbursed depending on your plan. If you're unsure, submit the matching form and the intake coordinator will help you verify benefits before you commit to a first session.

What to expect at a first session: an intake therapist will spend roughly the first session learning about your history, what brings you in, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. By the end you should have a sense of what working together would look like and how often you'll meet. If the fit isn't right, that's common — let us know and we can rematch you.
