In person or by video
Every clinician sees clients both ways. In person means our office in Crown Heights, about You're here! from Crown Heights on the 3 Train. By video means a secure link, a private room wherever you are, and the same clinician, the same session and the same insurance.
Many people do both: in person to start, video in the weeks when getting across Brooklyn is the thing standing between them and the session. You choose each time you book, not once.
