Group practice
Practice Information
Pivot is a major part of the governing therapeutic approach utilized, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT guides people to accept the current reality including internal experiences without avoiding or suppressing them. The various components of ACT all come together to facilitate psychological flexibility. The essence we wanted to capture here is the power of pivoting in one's life. Here at Pivot, we know the power to make a life pivot is within reach.
FAQS
What services does your practice offer?
Pivot is a group practice in Midtown Manhattan. We service adults 18 years or older for virtual or in person sessions. We offer individual therapy, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and Employee Assisted Program (EAP).
We deliver KAP in our practice in partnership with Journey Clinical, which has a specialized medical team that determines eligibility for KAP, prescribes ketamine lozenges, and supports us in monitoring outcomes. Our work with Journey Clinical started with the idea that traditional therapy had to pivot. Now, we are able to provide KAP through a wraparound approach with medical providers and therapists. This makes the experience of receiving KAP a seamless process with all parties involved due to supportive assistance from our collaboration.
We provide EAP through our partnership with Lyra. Lyra bridges the gap between employees and mental wellness. Our partnership with Lyra provides an ease with providing treatment to employees without barriers.
Why should I choose your practice?
Are you an adult?
Are you ready to activate?
Do you desire to take charge of your life?
Do you know it most definitely gets better from here and now?
Then, Pivot with us.
We are not for everyone. We take a direct approach geared towards activating consciousness through decision making. More than activating in the behavioral sense, we are looking to activate consciousness in the now. Once you have the awareness of the power within your choice that’s when it translates to changes in actions. Life presents us with opportunities that seem the same and in reality it is a new opportunity. We will be the compassionate reminder that you can choose something else.
What are your practice's specialties?
Pivot specializes in the many faces and phases of anxiety. While our main theraputic approach is ACT, we have a psychodynamic foundation informing our practice. The defenses of our younger selves are in service of yesterday and create interference with today. Perfectionism and fear are containers created by anxiety that propel the underlying motivation for the same behaviors and relationship patterns.
Anxiety can be avoidance of situations and internal experiences such as thoughts and emotions. Anxiety can take the form of decision paralysis from major life transitions to what’s for dinner. Power and control are anxieties best allies through the experience of helplessness. This happens when power and control are displaced on external circumstances and others. Anxiety can look like burnout and performance pressures at work or in relationships. Whether it’s an attachment issue or a deadline for a project, the experience is anxiety.
Anxiety is our specialty.
How does payment work at your practice?
At Pivot, we are Out-Of Network (OON). We can review what your insurance will cover for OON and figure out the best way to submit Superbills to your insurance for reimbursement. Our rate is $225 per 45 minute individual session. We provide transparency with billing up front and set up an agreed upon system for your insurance reimbursement. We accept credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo.
