Choosing HopeMental Health

Online therapy in Suffolk County

Fatima is based in Bay Shore and meets with clients across Suffolk County online. Suffolk is large, and getting to an office can take a big part of your day, so every session is by secure video from home, in English or in Spanish.

From Bay Shore and Huntington to the East End

Whether you live in Bay Shore, Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor, Stony Brook, Smithtown, or on the North or South Fork, you can join a session from home or any private space. There is no drive on the Long Island Expressway, no parking, and no waiting room.

If you split your time between the city and the East End

Many people divide their week or their season between Manhattan and a home in the Hamptons or on the North Fork. Both are in New York State, so sessions can continue wherever you are that week. You only need to be in New York State at the time of each session.

Private, self-pay care

Choosing Hope is self-pay, so sessions are paid directly and are not billed to insurance. Our rates are listed openly on the pricing page, and we keep a limited number of sliding scale spots.

In English or Spanish

Suffolk has large Spanish-speaking communities, including in Brentwood, Central Islip, and Riverhead. Fatima is fully bilingual, so sessions can be in English, in Spanish, or in a mix of both.

For Suffolk college students

If you study at Stony Brook University, Farmingdale State College, St. Joseph's University in Patchogue, or Suffolk County Community College, online sessions fit between classes. We keep a limited number of sliding scale spots for full-time college students.

Do you take insurance?

What if I travel outside New York?

Sessions need to take place while you are in New York State. If you will be away, let us know and we can plan around it.
