In-network with Aetna — same-week intake on Long Island

If you have Aetna and you’ve been searching for an in-network therapist on Long Island, you’ve probably hit two problems: most local practices are full, and the ones that aren’t either don’t take Aetna or have closed their panels.

We’re in-network with Aetna and we hold intake slots specifically for new patients each week. Most patients are seen within 2-7 days of their first call. Call (631) 371-2718.

What you can expect with Aetna coverage

  • Typical copay: $20-$40 per session (depending on your specific Aetna plan and deductible status)
  • Sessions covered: Most Aetna plans cover unlimited medically necessary sessions per year
  • Authorization: Most Aetna commercial plans don’t require pre-authorization for outpatient therapy. We’ll let you know if yours is an exception.
  • Telehealth coverage: Yes — covered at parity with in-person. Same copay.
  • Out-of-network reimbursement: If you have an Aetna PPO and we’re somehow not in your specific network, you can still see us out-of-network with partial reimbursement.

We verify your specific Aetna benefits before your first session — so you walk in knowing your copay, your deductible status, and any session limits.

What we treat (Aetna covers all of these)

  • Anxiety (generalized, social, panic, phobias)
  • Depression and mood
  • Trauma & PTSD
  • Couples and family therapy*
  • ADHD support
  • Grief and loss
  • Therapy for kids and teens
  • School anxiety
  • Burnout and stress

*Couples therapy coverage with Aetna varies — we verify before your first session.
