Understanding Your Patterns

Attachment & Connection

In therapy with us, we focus on how your attachment patterns show up in your relationships and shape your emotional life. You learn to address old patterns that create anxiety, frustration, or silence.

Together, we work on communicating clearly, setting boundaries with confidence, and responding from a place of calm. This process also helps you rekindle friendships, strengthen connections, and experience the support and belonging that come from a healthy community.

What We Help You Navigate

What happens in therapy is a microcosm of what happens outside of therapy. Together we will explore your relationships, including the one with yourself, to help you establish boundaries, practice behavioral skills, and develop confidence in your ability to form and maintain healthy relationships.

Why Private Pay?

Why We Don’t Take Insurance

  • Insurance requires a mental health diagnosis before they’ll cover a session, and that diagnosis becomes part of your permanent medical record. We don’t think you should need a label to get support.

  • No diagnosis code, no session notes, nothing about what you’re working through gets sent to a third party.

  • Insurance decides how often you can meet and sometimes which therapist you’re allowed to see. Private pay means it’s you and your therapist deciding what you need, for as long as you need it.

  • Therapists who bill insurance often carry thirty or more clients to make the math work. Ours don’t. That’s part of how we’re able to respond quickly and be available when something comes up between sessions.

We provide a superbill for every session so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan offers it.

One exception: we’re in-network with Wellfleet Student Insurance, available only to NYU students. If that’s your plan, your sessions may be covered directly rather than through a superbill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both. We work with individuals who want to improve how they show up in their relationships, as well as with partners, family members, or friends who want to work through something together. You don’t need to come with someone else to benefit.

That’s actually one of the most common places people start. You don’t need to arrive with a clear agenda. Part of the work is figuring out what’s really going on beneath the surface.

If something is affecting your peace of mind, your sense of self, or the quality of your connections, it’s worth exploring. You don’t need to be in crisis to deserve support.

[Add answer here.]

Yes, but not overnight. Therapy is a process. With consistency, most clients notice meaningful shifts in how they think, feel, and show up in their lives.
