Therapy and programs we offer
Every service below is delivered by licensed clinicians in our own practice, not a referral network. Not sure which fits? Our intake coordinator will help you work it out.
Individual therapy for adults
Weekly depth-oriented therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, disordered eating, grief, and the patterns that keep repeating.
Couples & relationship therapy
EFT-informed work on the cycle underneath the argument — communication, distance, intimacy, trust and repair. All relationship structures welcome.
Teens & young adults
For adolescents and young adults navigating identity, school and work pressure, family conflict, and the transition into adulthood.
Gender Care Program
Affirming care for transgender and gender-diverse clients: ongoing therapy, gender dysphoria evaluations, and letters of medical necessity, informed by WPATH 8. Guides, not gatekeepers.
Perinatal & postnatal support
Care through pregnancy, birth and after — mood changes, birth trauma and loss, and the shift a new baby creates between partners.
Couples therapy intensives
Half-day, full-day or multi-day formats for couples who need concentrated progress rather than weekly sessions.
Children’s therapy group, ages 6–8
A small in-person group in Greenpoint where children practice naming feelings, joining in, and repairing after a fight — through play, not sitting and talking.
Whole-Person Care Coordination
A 60-day program with a real human coordinator, not an app, working alongside your therapist — assembling your health team, making the referral calls, tracking your care plan. You do not have to be a BIPS therapy client to use it.
Training, supervision and consultation
We hire early-career therapists and then actually train them. Some of what follows is for people who work here; some is open to clinicians anywhere.
Clinical internships
Placements for MSW and MHC students from NYU, Columbia, Hunter and other city programs. SIFI-certified supervisors and real caseloads.
Staff therapist, pre-licensure
Weekly individual and group supervision toward LCSW or LMHC, a continuing education budget, and a caseload built around what you are developing.
Supervision & consultation
Supervision toward licensure, and consultation on complex presentations for licensed clinicians inside and outside the practice.
Special Topics group
A recurring clinician group led by Zach Sapolsky, PhD — focused study and discussion of a different clinical topic each cycle. Frequently open to the public by RSVP, not only to BIPS staff.
Practice consultation
For clinicians going independent: structure, fee-setting, insurance panels, boundaries, and the business side nobody taught you in graduate school.
Referral network
When we are not the right fit we say so, and we keep a network of providers we trust. Clinicians outside the practice are welcome to refer in, or ask us for a name.
