Kips Bay · Residents, students, and hospital staff

Kips Bay therapist a short walk from the hospitals, not a subway ride

“I match into a program that runs me into the ground and I cannot tell if this is normal.” “I moved here for school and the city is louder than I expected, inside and out.”

Kips Bay is hospitals and the people training inside them: NYU Langone, Bellevue, the VA, and the dorms and shares packed around them. Our Midtown office at 141 East 35th sits at the northern edge of the neighborhood. For most of Kips Bay, we are a walk rather than a commute. Online sessions cover the weeks a rotation makes that impossible.

Keeps the weekly hour reachable around a demanding hospital schedule. The practice is in-network with Cigna and Aetna, and out-of-network superbills are available for other plans.

What we hear from Kips Bay patients

Training is hard. It should not cost you yourself.

Residents who cannot tell exhaustion from depression because both have been constant for two years. Students far from home for the first time. “Everyone here is brilliant and drowning, so I assumed drowning was the standard.” It does not have to be.

Kips Bay FAQs

Before you book

I am a resident and barely sleep: will I even be able to keep appointments?

Yes, and we build for it. A standing weekly time plus online flexibility means the hour survives a brutal rotation. Several clinicians here work with residents and interns and know what eighty-hour weeks do to mood, memory, and relationships.

Is my program or school able to find out that I am in therapy?

No. Treatment is confidential and billed through your own insurance as a standard medical claim, separate from your program. If you would rather keep insurance out of it, ask about out-of-network superbills on the matching call.

How close is the office, really?

For most of Kips Bay, 141 East 35th is a walk, not a subway trip: think 5 to 12 minutes depending on your block. That short distance is the whole reason this page exists, because a short walk is a schedule you can actually keep.

I am not sure if this is burnout or depression: can therapy tell the difference?

That sorting is part of the early work. Burnout and depression overlap and also need different responses. Naming which is which, often both, tends to be a relief on its own.

Can I use an FSA or HSA card, and is it discreet?

Yes to both, since psychotherapy is a qualified expense. The charge reads as a routine medical line and a personal card keeps it private.

The hospitals are close. So is help.

The 15-minute matching call places you at our Midtown office or in secure online sessions across New York State. We go over the exact questions to ask your Aetna or Cigna plan on the same call: no obligation, no card.

When a long chapter ends in Kips Bay. The apartment gets quieter than expected.

Medical training has a quality that most of the people inside it do not fully notice until it is over: it is extraordinarily structured. You know what year you are in, what you are supposed to be learning, who evaluates you, what the next milestone looks like. The system holds you. It is often brutal, but it is legible.

Residency ends. Fellowship ends. Attending life begins, or the post-training period that precedes a clear path begins. And the structure that organized everything : including your sense of who you were and what you were for : is no longer doing that work. Many people find this disorienting in a way they did not anticipate and feel they cannot say plainly, because the completion of training is supposed to feel like arrival.

For Kips Bay patients who are not in medicine, the transition dynamic plays out differently but is not entirely unrelated. The post-grad years : 25 to 35, roughly : in a dense, transit-connected neighborhood tend to involve a particular kind of internal inventory. The plan you carried through your 20s either worked or did not. The city is more expensive than you expected. The relationships you expected to have stabilized have not, or have in ways that feel different than you imagined. The neighborhood is anonymous in a way that can work for you or against you depending on what you need.

We hold weekly 50-minute sessions, same clinician each week. The office is at 141 East 35th Street, accessible from Kips Bay in roughly five minutes on foot. We bill Aetna, Cigna, and NYU Wellfleet directly.

I just finished residency and feel strangely lost rather than relieved : is that a normal place to start therapy?

It is a common starting point, and the disorientation makes sense structurally. Training programs organize identity and time for years. When the external scaffold comes down, what was being held up by it often surfaces. Starting therapy at that transition rather than after the feeling becomes unmanageable is a reasonable choice.

Before you book: the questions Kips Bay residents and hospital staff ask first

Tap any question to read the answer.

Can VA Medical Center patients use Therapy24x7, and does VA coverage apply?

We do not currently bill VA insurance. If you are a veteran with VA coverage and looking to use that benefit, we would not be the right fit. If you carry a separate Aetna or Cigna plan — through an employer or marketplace — that coverage applies here and we share what to ask your insurance about it on the matching call.

What is the difference between using NYU Wellfleet versus a commercial Cigna plan at this practice?

Both are accepted here and billed at in-network rates. NYU Wellfleet is the student and trainee plan through NYU — if you hold that through your training program, your cost-sharing will follow Wellfleet's schedule, which is typically structured differently from a commercial Cigna PPO. We clarify the actual numbers for your plan before you schedule.

I am in a new residency orientation month with an unpredictable schedule — should I wait to start?

The first two to four weeks of an orientation period are genuinely hard to schedule around. Most residents find it is better to do the matching call during orientation and schedule the first session for week three or four, once the rotation pattern is clearer. Waiting until things settle fully can mean waiting a long time.

Do you see people from NYU Langone who are not in training — staff or attending physicians?

Yes. Attendings, fellows, and clinical staff from the broader NYU Langone and Bellevue corridor make up a portion of our Kips Bay caseload. The concerns differ from those of residents — the training pressure is different at that career stage — but the individual work is the same structure: weekly, same clinician, 50 minutes.

Is the matching call recorded or does it become part of any clinical record?

The matching call is not a clinical session and is not recorded. It is a scheduling and logistical conversation with a care coordinator. No clinical documentation is generated from it. Your chart begins when your first session with your clinician does.
