At Healthy Minds NYC, we believe mental health care should be both effective and accessible. That’s why our Associate Practice is now in-network with Aetna, making it easier for you to start therapy with a highly-trained clinician who understands the pace, pressure, and complexity of life in New York City.
Therapy with Aetna Insurance at Healthy Minds NYC
Therapy that works. Results that last.
What It Means to Work With an In-Network Aetna Therapist
When you choose one of our Associate Therapists, you can use your Aetna insurance benefits to cover the cost of sessions. That means:
Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs
You’ll pay only your standard copay or deductible.
Streamlined Billing
We handle claims directly with Aetna so you don’t have to.
High-Quality Care
Our approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical strategies to help you live better, work better, and play better.
Our associate clinicians are early-career therapists supervised by senior psychologists and psychiatrists from our private practice team.
Who Our Associate Therapists Work With
Our Aetna-covered clinicians specialize in supporting:
Professionals managing stress, burnout, or anxiety
Individuals navigating life transitions, identity, or relationship challenges
Couples seeking stronger communication and connection
Young adults building confidence and emotional resilience
Every client receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their goals and we never take a one-size fits-all approach.
Sessions are available in-person in NYC or online throughout New York State.
How to Get Started
Ready to experience therapy as a launchpad to the next season of your life?

Schedule a Free Consultation. First, take our online Fit Check to make sure we’re the practice you’re seeking. Then, meet with our care coordinator by phone to speak confidentially about your goals and preferences for care so we can match you with the best therapist.
Verify Your Benefits. Our insurance specialists will confirm your Aetna coverage so you’re aware of your copay and understand any applicable deductible before your first session.
Begin care. Start therapy with one of our phenomenal Associate Therapists and experience care designed to move your life forward.
Our goal is to make starting therapy as seamless as possible so you can focus on what really matters. It’s time for you to feel better and create lasting change.
