Therapy With Insurance –
Northwell Direct

Feeling overwhelmed by the task of finding a therapist that accepts insurance? Thriving Center of Psych partners with carefully selected insurance, like Northwell Direct, to provide affordable and high-quality mental health care. 

With Northwell Direct, accessing affordable and effective therapy is easier than ever. Let’s simplify the process and help you find the right therapist for you. 

Starting Therapy in NYC With Northwell Direct

Northwell Direct offers a wide range of mental health services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. To determine the exact extent of your coverage, including any copayments or deductibles, it’s best to speak with Northwell Direct, review your insurance card, or check with your employer to find out your specific plan and cover for online therapy sessions. 

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) ensures equal coverage for physical and mental health benefits. This means employers and Medicare Advantage plans must provide similar coverage limitations, such as copayments and deductibles, for mental health services as they do for physical health services.

When comparing the best online therapy platforms that take insurance, consider factors like therapist qualifications, treatment specialties, insurance coverage, and costs like copayments and deductibles. 

Insurance Through Providers

Typically, businesses partner with Northwell Direct to offer health insurance benefits to their employees. Northwell Direct has a large network of providers, including mental health professionals. When you see a provider within the Northwell Direct network, you usually pay lower copays or deductibles. 

We’re currently in-network for Northwell Direct insurance plans across several states, including California, Massachusetts, and New York. To find out if we’re in-network for you, contact your employer or insurance company directly. 

If we’re out-of-network for you, we can still help. When a provider is out-of-network, you may still be eligible for reimbursement of 50-80% of your costs, but there are usually higher initial out-of-pocket costs. Learn more about our superbills and out-of-network insurance process. 

Therapy Services We Offer Through Northwell Direct

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other challenges, our experienced therapists can provide guidance and support.

Anxiety Therapy

Just over 30% of adults in the United States will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. Anxiety can be overwhelming and, at times, crippling. If, like many others, you’re struggling with anxiety, therapy can be a safe space to work through thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and regain control over your life. 

Our caring and compassionate therapists can help you understand the root of your anxiety and gradually find ways to reduce and manage symptoms of anxiety. 

Depression Therapy

Depression can take you to a dark place, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our licensed therapists are experts in their respective fields and can help you understand the underlying causes of depression and develop healthy coping mechanisms. 

Treatment for depression usually involves talking therapies, self-help, and medication. The mental health experts at Thriving Center of Psych can provide guidance and support throughout your treatment plan, including medication management. 

Stress Therapy

From burnout to work stress, left unchecked, stress can take a huge toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health. Speaking with a mental health professional can help you unpack how you feel and find healthier ways to cope with stress. 

Through techniques like mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and time management strategies, you can learn to reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. 

Relationship Issues

Whether you’re experiencing communication breakdowns, loss of intimacy, or just looking for a relationship check-in, therapy offers a space to explore feelings and strengthen bonds. Couples therapy and individual therapy can help you communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, and break free from unhealthy relationship patterns and dynamics.
