Frequently Asked questions
Whether you have previous experiences with psychotherapy or this is your first time reaching out, you may have questions about our practice and what our work together could look like. Here are the answers to many common questions.
Your care and peace of mind are our highest priority, so if you have a question that isn’t answered here, please feel free to contact us. Please call or email our offices for a personal response.
We are an out of network provider with all other insurance companies. This means we are not contracted with any insurance provider. All fees are paid in total at the time sessions occur. We provide all clients with monthly super bills to submit to their insurance provider to receive any reimbursement they are entitled to.
Use our Peace of Mind Calculator to estimate how much you can expect to pay for out-of-network therapy. If you don’t have a specific therapist in mind, enter the name of any therapist from our practice.
We’ve partnered with Mentaya, a company that advocates on behalf of therapy seekers, to provide transparency into your out-of-network benefits so that you have greater insight into what reimbursement is possible with your plan.
We provide monthly superbills to all clients and suggest clients utilize Reimbursify or Mentaya if needing assistance to submit out of network claims easily for a small fee.
SteadyNYC is an Out of Network (OON) provider. This means, our clients pay the full fee at the time of service and are reimbursed by their insurance company if they have OON benefits. To find out if you have OON benefits you can:
- Contact Us at office@steadynyc.com and we're happy to contact your insurance provider.
- You can also look up what OON Benefits using our Peace of Mind Calculator
- And you can call your insurance company directly. Questions to ask your insurance company about OON benefits may include:
- Ask if you have the benefits for outpatient mental health or behavioral health services (CPT codes 90834 and/or 90837 for individuals, 90847 for couples/families, and 90853 for group)?
- Ask if you have telehealth coverage and what modifier to use (i.e. GT or 95)?
- Ask what is the deductible?
- Ask about what the reimbursement rate/percentage is?
- Ask what the insurance's approved rate or allowable amount (aka price) is for each session?
- Ask if coverage differs per diagnosis (i.e. anxiety vs. depression vs. PTSD)?
- Ask if there is a limit on how often you can see your provider for therapy?
- Ask if there is an authorization needed?

Yes. $25-75 per 50 minute individual session with Interns.
And, if our office is unable to schedule an appointment for you, we are happy provide referrals to colleagues and clinics that may be able to assist.
We begin with a brief phone consultation where we ask you to share a little about yourself and touch on some of what you’d like to address in therapy. From there, we’ll partner you with a therapist and schedule your first in-person meeting.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. However, in the beginning, we generally recommend meeting weekly. This gives us a chance to get to know one another on a regular basis. As our work together develops, we encourage personal assessments so we can create a schedule that suits your specific needs. Our goal is for you to get what you need out of therapy. As your needs change, so may your appointment frequency. Everyone is unique, so your care plan will be unique, too.
Again, it varies depending on each person’s needs. Some clients have been with us for six years while others have worked with us for a year or two. And still others have worked with us for short-term therapy to address a specific issue. We never want you to feel rushed in your treatment, so we will work together with you to determine the type and length of treatment that best meets your individual needs.
