Why access is the problem in New York

A large share of psychiatric providers in New York City and across the state have moved to private pay, often charging several hundred dollars per session. People with perfectly good insurance still end up unable to find someone who takes it.

This practice is in network through Headway with several major carriers, which for many people brings the cost of a visit down to a standard copay. That is the specific gap it is intended to fill.

Serving New York

Available across the state

New York City

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island - no commute, no crosstown trip, no waiting room.

Anywhere in the state

Because appointments are virtual, care reaches parts of the state where in-person psychiatry is genuinely hard to find.

In network

Insurance is verified and billed through Headway. Add your plan there to see what a visit will cost you.

Getting seen

What matters is where you are during the visit

Licensure follows your physical location at the time of the appointment. If you live in New York, you can be seen from New York.

If you split time between New York and New Jersey - which plenty of people in this region do - Steven is licensed in both, so mention your situation when you book and scheduling can be set up correctly.

New Jersey information

Two ways forward

You do not have to be certain to take a step

If you are ready

Start your booking

Headway is where appointments, insurance and billing are handled. You will see current availability, add your insurance for a cost estimate, and choose a time that works.

Book an appointment

A short contact step comes first, then Steven’s live Headway schedule.

If you have questions first

Ask before you commit

Plenty of people want to understand how virtual care works, whether their plan is accepted, or what a first appointment is like before booking anything. Send a short note and we will answer.

Ask a question

No appointment required. Please leave out medical details.
