People tend to start therapy for various reasons. It may be at a time of crisis, a recent loss or breakup, or a major life transition. It may be when you feel ready to face difficult emotions and repeating patterns in relationships that have long gotten in the way of feeling more authentically connected to yourself or others. You may also feel unsure about ‘why’ you’re ready for therapy but feel drawn to it in order to make changes in your life. Whichever the case may be, we are here to help.

Practica Psychology New York provides long term individual therapy to adults and adolescents, offering in-person appointments at the Union Square office as well as virtual sessions online to anyone within New York State.
We also provide group therapy at various times in the year. If you’re interested in participating in a group, please include this in your message when reaching out through the Contact page.

Therapy sessions are scheduled for once or twice weekly, depending on interest and need. Each session is 45 minutes and will be at the same time every week.

If you feel comfortable speaking with your therapist it likely means that you are a good fit. As therapy progresses and the therapeutic relationship continues to develop you will begin to feel seen and understood, not judged.

We are able to provide the necessary documentation and assist with submissions for out-of-network reimbursement. Out of network benefits often help to reduce your out of pocket costs by 40-80% though the amount of out-of-network reimbursement and coverage varies across each individual insurance plan. If you need assistance in determining your out-of-network benefits, we are able to help.

You can reach out to us via the Contact page on this website, by sending a direct email to drrachelforman@gmail.com, or by phone at 917.524.8585. Upon receiving your message, Dr. Rachel Forman will get in touch to schedule a free phone consultation to discuss details and go over any questions you may have before scheduling your first session.
