Referred for individual therapy?
Dr. Alan Winder · Clinical Psychologist
Virtual appointments for adults throughout New York and New Jersey. Accepting new clients.
A little about the work
I work with thoughtful, capable adults managing demanding careers, relationships and other responsibilities. Outwardly, life may be going well; privately, pressure, anxiety, overthinking, self-criticism or recurring patterns may be taking a toll.
My approach is direct, engaged and practical. We look at the patterns behind what is happening and work toward changes that fit your circumstances and values.
Private pay, insurance and scheduling
Most of my psychotherapy practice is private pay. You may be managing daily life well and still want help with worry, self-criticism or recurring relationship patterns, or simply want greater insight and a better quality of life. You do not need to wait for a crisis to inquire. Fees and available appointments are discussed before scheduling.
I also welcome insurance referrals and provide in-network individual psychotherapy through Aetna, Optum/UnitedHealthcare and Empire plans for patients with an established mental health diagnosis who are seeking treatment for symptoms of that condition. Participation and benefits are confirmed for your particular plan, state and care arrangement before scheduling. A diagnosis alone does not establish coverage.
Please use the contact link below to ask about an insurance-based referral before booking. The general website consultation scheduler is a separate private-pay route. Individual psychotherapy and mediation are separate services; couples mediation and divorce mediation are not billed as individual mental-health treatment.
The next step
Send a brief note saying you were referred and whether you are asking about insurance or private payment. You do not need to include your diagnosis, medical records, insurance ID or other sensitive details in the public form. Clinical fit, eligibility and available appointments are reviewed directly.
