People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are going through a hard season. Others want to understand themselves better or build healthier habits. We regularly work with adults who are facing:
- Depression and low mood
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
- Trauma, including recovery from domestic violence
- Grief and loss
- Adjustment to life changes and transitions
- Relationship and family stress
- Self-esteem and personal growth
- The pressures of college life
What to expect
Your first session is an initial intake assessment. It is a chance for us to learn about your history, what brings you in, and what you would like to change. From there, follow-up sessions focus on the goals we set together.
Our approach is warm and judgment-free. The aim is to help you process what you are carrying and to build coping skills you can keep using long after therapy ends.
Who it is for
Individual therapy at Choosing Hope is for adults 18 and over who are physically located in New York State during each session. Sessions are available in English and in Spanish.
Common questions
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Many people find online therapy works well for them, and it removes the commute and waiting room. The most important factor is usually the fit between you and your therapist. If you are unsure whether online sessions suit you, we are happy to talk it through before you begin.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an intake assessment. We talk about what brings you to therapy, your background, and your goals, so that follow-up sessions can focus on what matters most to you.
Do you take insurance?
Choosing Hope operates on a self-pay basis, so sessions are paid directly rather than billed to insurance. We offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. See our pricing page for details.
