EMDR is a rapid process.

EMDR and it’s offspring therapies – Brainspotting and Comprehensive Resource Model – all use bilateral stimulation and a rapid, structured approach to reprocess and resolve painful memories. 

EMDR helps us to identify, access and rewire painful past experiences to free us from oppressive beliefs, compulsive behaviors, performance and relationship anxieties that keep us feeling stuck. 

EMDR is a rapid process.  It swiftly changes the way we store memories, often inverting what had previously felt to be a defeat now reorganized into victories of survival and growth.

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (BLS) – 

  1. To engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which is helps us shift from fight-flight-freeze states to toward calm, secure, restful body & emotional states.
  2. Enhance connectivity between our brain hemispheres.  
  3. Increase certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, associated with a sense of happiness and wellbeing.

EMDR is a structured, focused process.  It is an evidence-based treatment, the gold standard for trauma resolution for the past 25 years.  

FAQs

Individual clinician’s fee schedule varies depending on the type of treatment (individual adult, couples, child/teen, or family) and on session length (45 or 60 minutes). Out-of-network costs range from $189 to $325 per session, with most out-of-network insurances covering 50%-80%, depending on the plan.

Each therapist has a limited number of sliding scale slots, most often scheduled in the 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. time window, which are assigned at the therapist’s discretion. The intake session is slightly higher (+$50) due to the extended length and review of intake documents.

Fees are typically paid online by credit card overnight following the session.

After your first session we provide a clear, easy to read superbill including all the codes needed to submit directly to your insurance.

Like many private practices in NYC, The Collaborative is an out-of-network provider. Meaning we do not accept insurance directly. However, we actively support clients who have out-of-network insurance coverage to secure reimbursement by generating a superbill which you can submit for reimbursement.

We encourage you to contact your insurance company directly to assess the cost before beginning treatment. It is very helpful to ask your insurance company the following questions:

  • Do I have out of network coverage for mental health?
  • What is my out of network deductible?
  • What are the reimbursement rates for individual therapy CPT code 90834 or couples/family therapy 90847 in zipcode 10012.
