Services & Fees at Manhattan Therapy Collective

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’ve been in therapy before, we’d love to share about what we offer.

Please note that our team of psychologists only works with adults 18 years old + at this time located in New York state.

 
  • Complimentary

    We always offer a free, brief 15-minute phone or video consultation with your therapist before getting started. We encourage you to come with any questions you have and some ideas of what you’d like to talk about in therapy. This helps your therapist get a better sense of what you’re looking for and ensures that we’re able to help from our respective areas of expertise. This can also be an opportunity for your therapist to share how they work and for you to get a glimpse of their personality and conversational style. We think taking the time to feel out our fit through an introductory call is the beginning of a strong foundation.

  • $225-375/session

    The first session with your therapist is a 60-minute appointment that we often call the intake session. Your therapist will ask a range of questions that help them get to know you, from your background and past experiences to the present day. We also work holistically, which means your therapist will also ask questions about things like your health and other factors that may be connected to your overall mood and wellbeing. We’re often curious about past therapy experiences if you have any, and what you’re hoping for now.

    You may want to dive right in and get to work on your goals in the very first session, but trust us that all the questions we take the time to ask are relevant - even if you can’t immediately see how. It’s crucial to us that we get to know you and your concerns from a 360 view and in context - it significantly improves our ability to listen well and effectively help you. Depending on each person’s pace, you may get through all the questions we typically ask in one session, or you may choose to take your time with your therapist across a few sessions. For us, there is no such thing as unhelpful information!

  • $225-375/session.

    Individual therapy is a 45 minute session usually scheduled on a weekly basis. We find that starting therapy with weekly sessions establishes the foundation for a strong relationship with your therapist, strengthens back and forth collaboration or new skill building, and creates important momentum so you can experience relief and make progress towards your goals.

  • $425/session.

    A sleep consultation is an extended 75-minute evaluation that assesses your present-day sleep concerns. For the consultation to be of full benefit to you, you will be asked (and receive guidance) to track your sleep for at least one week. You will also be asked to complete a sleep background form. This data will be reviewed before meeting to ensure that you receive a comprehensive, thoughtful, and personalized consultation.

    Your sleep consultation includes a complete review and discussion of your recent sleep data, medical history, psychiatric history, recent stressors, sleep practices and any medications or supplements you use for sleep. If you have had an overnight sleep study at a medical center, you can send any results or reports ahead as part of your sleep data. Additionally, if you are comfortable with sharing your sleep environment, meeting via telehealth provides an opportunity to take a look at your sleeping environment in detail during the consultation. After meeting, you will receive an outline of suggested sleep treatment that has been uniquely developed for your needs and aimed at increasing quality sleep without the use of medication.

  • $350-425/session.

    CBT-I is the gold standard, evidence-based treatment approach to addressing sleep problems without medication. The American College of Physicians recommends CBT-I as the first-line approach to insomnia. CBT-I is usually short term, ranging from 4-8 sessions because it is highly action-oriented and skills-focused. Each session is meant to create and build new patterns with immediate impact.

    Based off of your individual sleep consultation, you will receive a personalized plan that extends beyond sleep hygiene basics with an expert sleep psychologist. Sessions will include in-depth education about sleep processes and may also include skill development around healthy sleep patterns, targeted reduction of sleep-interfering behaviors, the integration of stress management or relaxation skills, cognitive strategies, the appropriate use of light, and understanding healthier sleep adjustments adults can plan for in unique circumstances (e.g., pregnancy, shift work, jet lag due to frequent work travel, etc). You can expect week to week guidance and support in the implementation of your individualized plan to target your specific sleep difficulties.

  • $350-425/session.

    You may be experiencing more complicated or unexpected symptoms that are negatively impacting your sleep (e.g., night terrors, sleep walking). Or you may be in a unique stage of life where you need to figure out how to adapt your sleep in healthy ways due to factors not completely within your control (e.g., postpartum, work travel across time zones). Maybe you’ve tried CBT-I before, but want something a little more flexible or that incorporates other techniques that may be a better fit for you.

    We offer personalized sleep treatment that goes beyond CBT-I and/or supports people with more complex sleep concerns. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique sleep presentation, and include the most up to date recommendations known in sleep research. In personalized sleep treatment, sessions will accommodate and respond to your weekly progress with active guidance and problem solving.
