How to find DBT Therapy in NYC that accepts insurance
It can be hard to find DBT therapy in NYC…
You would think in a city as large as New York, it would be easy to find a therapist or program specializing in DBT therapy that accepts insurance. However, this is not the case. In fact, it can be extremely difficult. As a social worker in NYC, I used to help people get connected to needed services and know first hand how hard it can be. DBT therapy was always in high demand, yet there were very few options. Many practices including community clinics had extremely long waitlists, or those who did have availability didn’t accept insurance. The demand for DBT therapy was higher than the providers available. This caused many problems and still does.
Having access to DBT therapy in NYC is crucial…
