When choosing a therapist, it is important to evaluate the therapist's credentials to determine the level of expertise in the treatment being provided. As a consumer, you have the right to shop around and ask your potential therapist questions in order to determine whether they are a good match for you. Each of our clinicians at Cognitive and Behavioral Consultants of Westchester specialize in cognitive behavior therapy and/or dialectical behavior therapy. Specific information about the credentials of each of our dedicated therapists can be found on our website under “Who We Are.”

Once you have evaluated a therapist’s credentials, it is also important to schedule a consultation session to determine if you feel comfortable working with him or her. Ensuring a comfortable working relationship with your therapist will go a long way in making the treatment go well.

The services provided by therapists at CBCW are reimbursable through your insurance coverage. Our therapists bill clients directly. Each bill includes the necessary information required by insurance companies. These bills can then be submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement. The therapists at CBCW do not belong to any managed care plans, and therefore will be considered “out-of-network” providers.

If you would like to find out how much your insurance carrier will reimburse you, we recommend calling the company and asking them how much they will reimburse for the specific service you are seeking (i.e. individual psychotherapy, group therapy, psychological assessment). In determining how much you will be reimbursed, be sure to ask them the percentage of the doctor’s fees they will reimburse, if there is a deductible, and what their maximum allowable is.
