Individual therapy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique, subconscious reprogramming, and virtual reality therapy. Couples therapy and marriage counseling are also offered. A specialized program called Trauma Fast-Track is available for clients seeking accelerated trauma treatment across a defined number of sessions; this program does not accept insurance.
Clinical specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, phobias, low self-esteem, perinatal mood disorders, relationship concerns, and life transitions. All sessions are conducted via secure telehealth platforms from clients’ preferred locations. No in-person appointments are available. The mailing address is 459 Columbus Ave, Suite 1023, New York, NY 10024.
Insurance accepted in-network includes Aetna and United Healthcare. Out-of-network coverage is available for clients using other plans, and the Trauma Fast-Track program operates outside insurance entirely. Complimentary 10-minute consultations are offered to help prospective clients assess fit with a clinician before scheduling a full appointment. Therapy typically begins at once-weekly frequency and may be adjusted as treatment progresses over time.
The practice structures its staffing around a mix of fully licensed clinicians holding LMHC or CMHC credentials and provisionally licensed clinicians designated MHC-LP, who work under supervision toward full licensure. This tiered staffing model supports a larger caseload while maintaining credential standards across the team. The practice can be reached at 212-994-4921 or hello@werisenyc.com.
