Why students choose us
- Insurance-covered options
In-person in Albany, virtual anywhere in NY or NJ, or a mix of both. We’re in-network and out-of-network with many popular insurance providers, as well as offer sliding-scale and lower-fee options starting at $75/hour.
- No long waitlist
Campus counseling centers often book out 2–3 weeks or more. We typically get students in within days depending on therapists availability. However, we believe that therapy works because of the relationship between you and your therapist. That’s why we offer complimentary “chemistry check” calls with all of our therapists, including those who may not have immediate availability to help you find therapist you’re comfortable with and plan your therapy.
- Therapists who specialize in this stage of life
Our clinicians work specifically with the pressures of college and grad school — academic stress, identity, transitions, relationships, family expectations.
Therapist Matching Quiz has multiple-choice questions and takes only 6 minutes to complete.
We've Worked with Counseling Centres of Major Universities Since 2019

Get Started
Do I need a referral from my school's counseling center to see someone here?
No. While many students do come to us through a referral from their campus counseling center, you’re welcome to reach out directly – no referral needed.
Will my school or my parents find out I'm in therapy?
No. What you share with your therapist is confidential, protected by the same legal and ethical standards as any licensed therapist, and we won’t contact your school or your family without your explicit permission.
What kinds of problems do students usually come in with?
Anxiety and depression are the most common – often tied to academic pressure, life transitions, relationships, or identity. But we also see students dealing with trauma, grief, family conflict, eating and body image concerns, and more. If it’s affecting your life, it’s worth talking about.
How often will I need to come in?
Most students see the most benefit from weekly sessions, especially early on. Your therapist will work with you to figure out what actually fits your schedule and needs.
Does insurance cover this?
Usually, yes. We’re in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, CDPHP, Medicare, Oscar and UMR, and out-of-network with EmblemHealth, BlueCross BlueShield, 1199SEIU, Beacon Health Options, and ComPsych. We’ll verify your benefits before you’re charged for anything. If you’re not covered, we have lower-cost options too.
