Getting Started with Therapy

  • As a high-achieving woman in NYC, you might feel like you should have it all together. But therapy isn't just for "problems" – it's for anyone who wants to enhance their life experience. If you're facing recurring challenges, feeling disconnected from your authentic self, or simply want to optimize your mental well-being, therapy can be incredibly beneficial. It's about addressing the root causes of your experiences, not just managing surface-level symptoms.

  • At On Par Therapy, we create a safe, judgment-free space tailored for ambitious women like you. Our sessions are collaborative, combining evidence-based techniques with a warm, relatable approach. We'll work together to identify your goals, explore challenges unique to high-achieving women in NYC, and develop strategies to help you thrive. Whether you're dealing with burnout, perfectionism, or seeking to reconnect with your authentic self, we're here to guide you on your journey to becoming your favorite self.

  • Although we specialize in empowering women, we work with anyone! Our therapists are equipped to support individuals with diverse needs and backgrounds. We bring a culturally informed lens to our practice, ensuring that each client receives care that respects their unique experiences and identities. Whether you're a woman navigating a competitive career, someone struggling with anxiety or depression, or an individual seeking personal growth, we're here to support you. Our goal is to provide inclusive, compassionate care that helps all our clients thrive.

  • As a boutique mental health practice, On Par Therapy offers a highly personalized and premium level of care. This means:

    • Individualized attention: We maintain smaller caseloads, allowing our therapists to devote more time and energy to each client's unique needs.

    • Specialized expertise: Our therapists are carefully selected for their expertise in areas particularly relevant to our clients, such as burnout, perfectionism, and high-pressure career challenges.

    • Flexible and tailored approach: We're not bound by one-size-fits-all treatment models. Instead, we customize our approach to best serve each client's specific goals and preferences.

    • High-quality, evidence-based care: We stay at the forefront of mental health research and techniques, ensuring you receive the most effective and up-to-date care.

    • Comprehensive support: Beyond individual sessions, we offer resources, workshops, and a supportive community to enhance your therapeutic experience.

  • We're excited to support you on your journey! To get started, schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation through our website. During this call, we'll discuss your goals and determine which of our specialized therapists is the best fit for you. We'll also verify your insurance benefits to ensure you understand your coverage. After the consultation, we'll schedule your first session and send you our digital intake forms. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@onpartherapynyc.com.

The Therapy Process

  • At On Par Therapy, we believe in providing tailored support for each client's unique journey. While we typically recommend weekly sessions to start, the duration of therapy varies based on your individual needs and goals. We understand your time is valuable. We'll work efficiently to help you make meaningful progress, adjusting the frequency of sessions as you evolve and grow.

  • We offer 50-minute weekly and bi-weekly sessions, designed to fit into your busy NYC lifestyle. For clients needing additional support between regular sessions, we also provide 25-minute maintenance/support sessions. Our flexible scheduling ensures you can prioritize your mental health without compromising your other commitments.

  • Absolutely! We understand the demanding nature of NYC life, so we offer convenient virtual therapy sessions using our HIPAA-compliant video platform. These sessions are conducted similarly to in-person meetings but eliminate travel time, making it easier for you to fit therapy into your packed schedule. Whether you're at home, in the office, or traveling, we're here to support you.

Confidentiality and Trust

  • At On Par Therapy, we prioritize your privacy as much as we prioritize your mental health. Your sessions are protected by strict ethical and legal guidelines. As licensed therapists, we're bound by confidentiality, meaning we cannot disclose your information without your explicit consent, except in rare situations where there's a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law. You can trust that our sessions provide a safe space for you to express yourself freely, allowing you to explore your challenges and aspirations without reservation.

Financial Considerations

  • Like most private practices in NYC, On Par Therapy is an out-of-network provider. However, we go the extra mile to make the process as smooth as possible for our busy clients. We verify your coverage before beginning sessions to ensure you understand your benefits. Many of our clients receive between 60% to 80% reimbursement for their sessions after meeting their deductible. We're always here to assist you with any insurance-related questions.

  • We view therapy as an investment in yourself and your future success. While we don't work directly with insurance, many of our clients with out-of-network benefits receive significant reimbursement. We're happy to look into your specific coverage and discuss options to make therapy accessible for you. Remember, investing in your mental health can lead to improved performance, relationships, and overall life satisfaction – benefits that extend far beyond the therapy room.

  • Choosing an out-of-network therapist like those at On Par Therapy can offer several advantages:

    • More personalized care: Out-of-network therapists often have smaller caseloads, allowing for more dedicated, one-on-one time to understand and address your unique needs and goals. This personalized attention is crucial in building a strong therapeutic relationship.

    • Greater flexibility: We're not bound by rigid insurance restrictions on session length or frequency. This means your care can be tailored and adjusted as needed, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

    • Specialized support: In-network options are often limited to whoever is on your plan's list. At On Par Therapy, our out-of-network status allows us to offer more specialized expertise, particularly suited to high-achieving individuals facing unique challenges.

    • Potential cost savings: While out-of-network, we offer transparent pricing and can provide documentation for insurance reimbursement. Many of our clients find that after reimbursement, their out-of-pocket costs are comparable to in-network options, especially if they have a high deductible plan.

    • Privacy: Out-of-network care often offers greater privacy, as less information needs to be shared with insurance companies.

Additional Questions

  • At On Par Therapy, we specialize in supporting high-achieving women in navigating the unique challenges of balancing a demanding career with personal fulfillment. We'll work together to develop strategies for setting healthy boundaries, managing stress, and reconnecting with your authentic self outside of work.

  • Absolutely. Imposter syndrome is a common challenge for high-achieving women, especially in competitive NYC industries. Our therapists are experienced in addressing these feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness. We'll work with you to recognize your authentic achievements, build genuine confidence, and develop strategies to overcome self-limiting beliefs, allowing you to fully embrace your success.

  • Our approach is tailored to the unique pressures faced by women in leadership. We understand the complexities of navigating male-dominated industries, managing teams, and breaking glass ceilings. Our therapists provide a safe space to explore these challenges, develop assertiveness skills, build resilience, and cultivate a leadership style that aligns with your authentic self. We're here to support you in not just succeeding, but redefining success on your own terms.
