About

How does payment work at your practice?

Expansive Therapy is an out of network provider, so we can accept PPO or POS* plans from any carrier. We take care of submitting all insurance claims. Before you begin sessions, we will check your insurance plan's out of network benefits and give you a quote to approve. From there, we file claims for every session for you!

*Not sure if your plan is a PPO or POS, or if you have any out of network benefits? Reach out- we'd be happy to assist!

What are your practice's specialties?

Expansive Therapy is proud to be one of the few practices in NY and CA geared towards working with the LGBTQ+ community. We know the unique issues that are faced by many in the Queer community, and our experience has only served to make us more effective providers. We can assist with gender/sexual exploration, depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, stress, and perfectionism.

What services does your practice offer?

We provide online therapy anywhere in New York and California, as well as in person sessions in NYC and Los Angeles.

-Individual therapy to individuals aged 16 and up

Why should I choose your practice?

Expansive therapists are engaged in continual education as well as peer supervision in order to maintain a growth oriented practice. From 2021 to 2022 the practice teamed up with Dr Bessell van der Kolk (The Body Keeps The Score) and received direct supervision from him on better ways to address trauma. Expansive Therapy uses a social justice lens to offer affirming services to all.
