What we’re for
You don’t need a diagnosis to start.
Most people who reach out to us are tired. Tired of arguing about the same thing. Tired of bad sleep. Tired of a kid who used to be a different kid. Tired of feeling like they should be over this by now.
You don’t need to know what to say. You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to be in crisis. You just need to be ready to start.
Where we work
Long Island office. Or anywhere in New York, over video.
Sessions are 50 minutes. $100 per session out of pocket, or $0 to $40 with most insurance. We see clients in person on Long Island or by secure video anywhere in New York State.
In-person, Long Island
Quiet office on a residential block. Easy parking. Good for first sessions, for couples and family work, and for anyone who does better in a room than on a screen.
Telehealth across New York
Secure video sessions, anywhere in New York State. Good for busy parents, the hard-to-leave-the-house weeks, and clients out on the East End or commuting back from the city.

Our philosophy
“Therapy isn’t about being broken. It’s about wanting your life to feel different, and being willing to look at why it doesn’t yet.”
Common questions
First-time-therapy questions, answered.
How much does therapy cost at Happy Pro?
$100 per 50-minute individual session out of pocket. With insurance, typical out-of-pocket cost is $0 to $40 per session depending on your plan. We verify your benefits in writing before your first appointment, so there are no surprise bills.
Do you take my insurance?
We are in network with Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, and Northwell Direct. If your plan is not listed, you may still have out-of-network benefits we can help you use. Send us your info and we will check for free.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Same-week openings most weeks. Call by Tuesday and you usually see someone by Friday. We will be honest if a particular clinician is booked further out.
Do you offer telehealth or in-person sessions?
Both. We see clients in person at our Long Island office or by secure video anywhere in New York State. Many clients mix the two depending on their week.
What kinds of issues do you work with?
Anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, couples and family work, teen and young adult issues, grief, and school coordination including IEP and 504 meetings. Our Clinical Director is EMDR-trained for trauma. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you.
Do I need a referral or diagnosis to start?
No. You do not need a referral, diagnosis, or insurance approval to start. Most insurance plans cover outpatient therapy without a referral. Reach out and we will walk you through the rest.
How long is a session?
Individual sessions are 50 minutes. Couples sessions are 75 minutes. Family and EMDR sessions run 60 to 75 minutes depending on the work.
What if I'm not sure therapy is right for me?
That is a normal place to start. Send a note or call, and we will talk through what you are dealing with before scheduling anything. There is no pressure to commit to a course of therapy on the first call.
Can I switch therapists if it's not the right fit?
Yes, and we mean it. Fit matters more than credentials. Tell us, and we will move you to another clinician on the team or help you find someone outside the practice if needed.
How do I get started?
Call or text 631-371-2718, send a note through the contact form, or check your insurance through the verify-insurance page. We respond every business day.

Plain answers to the questions we hear most.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Most people put off the first call for months. Clients we hear from later say the same thing: they wish they’d called sooner.
