Effective immediately, Mindfulness Matters Psychotherapy is no longer accepting new clients with Beacon, Carelon, or NYSHIP insurance plans.

This change does NOT affect any current clients. If you are already receiving services with us using one of these plans, you may continue as usual.

We remain in-network with several other insurance providers and continue to welcome new clients with those plans, as well as private pay.

If you have questions about insurance or scheduling, please contact our office.
