Take The First Step

Insurance Support

Therapy that moves you forward. Let us take it from here.

Life can be incredibly difficult, complex, and, at times, confusing. It can also be rewarding, fulfilling, and enlightening. Our role as therapists is to help you better understand yourself and, in so doing, equip you with the skills and insight needed to live your life in a way that is rich and meaningful, whatever that looks like to you.

Yes we offer in-person appointments at our office at 22 Oakwood Road, Huntington, NY 11743. We also offer virtual appointments over Zoom.

We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna and Northwell Direct.

We are an out-of-network provider for all other plans. Most insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits and we’ve found that most of our clients who have a PPO are able to get 50-80% of each session reimbursed after meeting the deductible.

Searching for a therapist in Huntington, Long Island who accepts insurance can be challenging. Many people struggle to find the right fit with an in-network therapist, whether due to relationship dynamics, availability, or other factors. As a result, some choose to go out-of-network to find a therapist who meets their unique needs. We know that the bond between client and therapist is a key predictor of success, as supported by research. For clients who see us as out-of-network providers, we’re happy to provide invoices for reimbursement through their insurance.

If your insurance plan doesn’t cover out-of-network therapists, or if you have a high deductible, lack an HSA or FSA, we offer sliding scale therapy for a limited number of clients. This allows us to provide high-quality care that aligns with both your therapeutic needs and financial circumstances. When our sliding scale slots are open, we work with clients to match them with a therapist who fits their unique situation and budget.

From questions about costs to what to expect from our therapy, we’re here to answer. Email us at info@createoutcomes.com or speak to a member of our amazing Long Island team at 866-232-7328.

Since COVID-19 and advancements in technology, many people have felt the weight of isolation and the frustration of feeling misunderstood. Navigating life’s transitions—or simply managing day-to-day life—can feel overwhelming when it seems like there’s no one to turn to. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support, and I hold that trust with deep respect. To me, therapy is a mutual process where we work together to foster understanding and connection. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can feel supported and truly heard.

In our work together, I take a psychodynamic approach to help us uncover how past relationships and experiences shape our current thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Once we gain this insight, I incorporate CBT and DBT techniques to support you in developing healthy ways to cope, modify, and accept these patterns.I maintain a trauma-informed perspective, prioritizing safety and validation to ensure you feel secure throughout our work.

Above all, I focus on what YOU want to achieve. There’s no one-size-fits-all roadmap for life, so I am here to meet you exactly where you are, ready to support your unique journey.
As a South-Asian therapist on Long Island, I’m here to provide you with a safe, inclusive space where you can explore your mental health, pursue personal growth, and work through life’s challenges. I understand that managing multiple cultural identities and meeting societal expectations can be complex and overwhelming. Drawing from my own background, I approach our work with cultural humility, honoring the cultural narratives that shape who you are and recognizing how they impact your mental health journey.In our sessions, we’ll work together to build a strong, trusting relationship that encourages openness and honest exploration of both personal and relational dynamics.

My approach is rooted in empathy and compassion, and I’m dedicated to helping you find meaningful change and growth. I also stay committed to learning and integrating new techniques to ensure that I’m responsive to your unique needs.Together, we’ll work toward fostering resilience, increasing self-awareness, and building a greater sense of well-being. My goal is to empower you to gain insight into your experiences and develop coping strategies that feel authentic to you.
