  • Anyone can apply—if you’re comfortable working with a practicum therapist in training! However, we generally encourage those who are able to use their insurance benefits or are in a comfortable financial situation to consider leaving this resource available for others in need. This is a non-profit project with limited availability and a short waiting list.

  • Phronetic Psychotherapy NY is a teaching facility, and our practicum therapists are graduate students from Columbia University and NYU, completing their advanced clinical practicum as part of their clinical studies. They are all supervised by fully licensed therapist supervisors with 10+ years of experience. Each practicum therapist undergoes a highly selective process to join us for their practicum position.

  • For individuals, we charge $40 per session for therapy. For couples and families, we charge $50 per session.

  • No, Phronetic Psychotherapy NY is not a subscription or membership service. Clients are billed on a per-appointment basis.

    If you're considering canceling, we encourage you to discuss this directly with your therapist or reach out to our support team.

  • Yes! Low-fee therapies are fully confidential. We adhere to all ethical rules and standards for privacy practices in therapy.
