Our Vision

“Learning to access your strengths in therapy is a valuable tool for living a happier, more complete life. When you connect with yourself in healthy ways, you open up the possibility for so much more potential and success. Instead of reacting to life circumstances out of habit or negative self-talk, you have the opportunity to act from a place of strength and power. You can choose to believe in yourself and your ability to create the life you want.”

ALL SERVICES ARE VIRTUAL

CANCELLATION POLICY

Missed or Canceled Appointments

If you need to cancel your appointment, please remember to do so 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. As a courtesy, a reminder is sent via email or text message the day before your appointment. You will be responsible to pay a $111 late cancellation/no show fee if you do not contact our office 24 hours in advance. Multiple cancellations may result in suspension of services. This is necessary because your therapist has made a time commitment that is held exclusively for you.

To cancel/reschedule your session you may reach our office via phone at 917-905-8165 or email: bwhitfieldtherapy@gmail.com or you may contact your therapist directly.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INSURANCE:

As a courtesy, we verify the client’s insurance benefit prior to the appointment. However, it is the client’s responsibility to know and understand their insurance coverage (i.e. deductibles, percentage of insurance cost vs member cost). It is also the client’s financial responsibility to cover the costs of their sessions, even if insurance does not pay.

We offer 45-minute individual sessions and 60-minute family therapy sessions. We recommend clients attend sessions a minimum of once a week. Depending on the nature of a client’s needs, meeting twice a week is a possibility. Once you  are progressing in therapy we graduate to bi-weekly sessions.
