Information about potential counseling with an interning therapist:

Following an intake evaluation ($80), if we think your presenting issues would be suitably addressed by an interning therapist you have the option to work with them at a reduced rate of $50.

If we do not think it would be a suitable match then you have the option to continue at $80 per session with a non-interning clinician.

All interning therapists are in advanced level Masters counseling programs and are under supervision at Garden City Therapy, PLLC

I would like a referral for a psychiatric evaluation and potential medication management. [After your intake we can refer you to a local group psychiatry practice. Their focus is on medication to help treat symptoms while our focus is talk-therapy. The combined approach is often of great help.]
We try and match you with a therapist who you think might be a good fit for you. If you want you can let us know what you prefer when it comes to feeling engaged [i.e. someone who is a bit more lively, someone with a calming demeanor, someone more goal oriented (CBT focus), someone more exploratory (analytic focus), a mixture of these, etc.]
Please confirm acknowledgement that appointments are ONLINE*

Yes, I understand current session availability is via PHONE / VIDEO / VIRTUAL appointments due to full capacity
