Family therapy is for the times when the problem is not really about one person. The same conflict keeps repeating. The same child ends up in the middle. The work is on the patterns rather than just the people.
Westhampton (and Westhampton Beach village) is one of the more family-oriented East End communities: smaller scale than Southampton or East Hampton, with Westhampton Beach schools doing a lot of the social organizing for parents. Most of the people we see here are year-round residents managing the same things families everywhere are managing: school, work, relationships, sleep, and the way the seasons compress everything into a few hard months.
How family therapy works here
We draw on structural and strategic family therapy, Bowen family systems, emotionally focused family therapy, and parent management training depending on what the family is dealing with. Sessions are 60 minutes. Who comes depends on the work; the first session is usually parents only to set goals.
What it costs
Practically: most Westhampton residents are on commercial PPO plans through Long Island employers. We are in network with the major names and verify your benefits in writing before the first session. With most in-network plans (Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, Northwell Direct), the typical out-of-pocket cost is between $0 and $40 per session, depending on your specific plan. Coverage may vary; we check your specific benefits in writing before your first session at no cost. Send your insurance information here.
If we are not in network with your plan, you may still have out-of-network benefits that reimburse a portion. See the payment options page for the Mentaya tool to check that quickly. Self-pay rates are listed there too.
Same-week openings, most weeks
We hold intake capacity so most weeks we can get you in within days, not months. Sessions are in person at our Long Island office or by secure video anywhere in New York State.
