MindWell NYC provides teletherapy services in response to the growing need for accessible and flexible mental health care. Our virtual clinicians specialize in providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with the goal of teaching our clients practical tools for leading a more fulfilled life.

Teletherapy On Your Time

It’s not uncommon for adults to struggle with managing stress, anxiety, or navigating major life changes. These challenges can sometimes be linked to deeper mental health concerns like depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Fortunately, with the convenience of virtual therapy, you can access the support you need from the comfort of your home, making it easier to address these hurdles and regain balance in your life.

Sudden shifts in mood or behavior

You might notice that lately, you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or easily frustrated by minor things. Perhaps you find yourself frequently irritated, snapping at others, or struggling to control your emotions. These shifts in behavior could be a sign that something deeper is at play and may require support to manage.

Loss of interest or motivation

On the flip side, you might feel emotionally distant or disconnected from the things you once enjoyed. Maybe you’re avoiding social interactions, skipping hobbies, or finding it hard to stay motivated at work. If this sense of withdrawal or apathy is impacting your daily life, virtual therapy can provide a safe space to explore what’s going on and help you find your way back to a more engaged and fulfilled state of mind.

TeleTherapy can help

Regardless of your struggles, you may be considering that it’s time to talk to a therapist.

In today's digital world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of mental health advice available online.

Virtual therapy offers a personalized approach, providing you with direct access to experienced clinicians who understand your specific challenges and can craft tailored strategies to help you thrive. Teletherapy allows you to explore new perspectives, gain clarity, and develop effective coping tools—all from the comfort and convenience of your own space.

You May Have Some Questions About Online Therapy​…

Mental health care delivered remotely, or over a secure online platform, is referred to as telehealth or telepsychology (APA, 2020). Our clinicians provide high quality and effective treatment that creates a comfortable, safe, and warm environment similar to in-office therapy. We have been providing virtual therapy services for a number of years and are prepared and thoughtful when it comes to meeting online.
With telehealth, you are able to phone or video conference with one of our skilled licensed therapists at the click of a button in a location that is convenient for you. Telehealth brings therapy right to your door. You will receive a link for a place to meet your therapist online so that you can participate in therapy from a location that works best for you. While you can do therapy from anywhere, we recommend finding a quiet place with privacy and a strong internet connection for optimal results. 

Our specialists are here to help adults managing a variety of challenges, such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, and more. If you are interested in going to therapy but are hindered by a tight work schedule, lack of childcare, or long commute, telehealth could work well for you. Although our New York City office is our home, we are working to meet the needs of our clients by providing virtual therapy throughout New York State.

Research has shown that telehealth is an effective kind of treatment and that therapy delivered by video and phone works for depression, anxiety and adjustment disorder (APA, 2020; Varker, 2019). Given the benefits and effectiveness of telehealth, it is likely that more and more clinicians will start to offer this service; however, it is important to work with therapists who have practice and experience working online. 

During the COVID pandemic, many insurance companies began covering telehealth more broadly. Some insurance companies are now planning to end their telehealth coverage and no longer reimburse for these services. Please check with your insurance provider to see if you receive out-of-network benefits for telehealth.
