A LOW-PRESSURE FIRST STEP
If you are looking for care for your child, your teenager, or yourself, begin by sharing what you know. A free phone consultation gives you space to ask questions, describe what is happening, and discuss which therapist or setting may be a thoughtful fit.
01 — CHOOSE A TIME
Schedule a free phone consultation
Speak with a specific therapist, the clinical supervisor, or the clinical director for help with placement. If you already know which therapist you would like to see, you may request an initial appointment directly.

02 — CALL US
Call during business hours
Call for a spontaneous consultation when someone is available. If the practice cannot speak with you at that moment, the team will follow up with clear expectations about when you will hear back.

View all location details
A few practical details can help the conversation: who is seeking care and their age; the main concerns or goals; whether you prefer a New York office, a New Jersey office, or virtual care; scheduling needs; therapist preferences; and insurance or payment questions.
You do not need to provide a complete history through a website form. The consultation is a starting point, not a clinical assessment, and you can ask how sensitive information will be handled before sharing it.
What happens next
01
Consultation or direct request
Talk with a therapist, the clinical supervisor, or the clinical director about your needs and current options—or request an appointment with a therapist you have selected.
02
Intake documentation
Before the first appointment, Therapeutic Arts sends forms for you to complete.
03
Initial session and assessment
The therapist completes a clinical assessment and works with the client, and with caregivers where appropriate, to establish a treatment plan and goals.
Insurance and payment questions
Therapeutic Arts participates with Healthfirst, Aetna, and Cigna, although coverage and clinician participation can vary by plan. For out-of-network care, a superbill may support reimbursement depending on your benefits and deductible. Share your insurance information during the consultation so the practice can explain the current options.
Please do not use this form for an urgent safety concern or emergency.
Contact FAQs
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The consultation is a free phone conversation used to hear what brings you in, answer initial questions, and discuss placement or next steps.
Can I book directly with a therapist?
Yes. If you have selected a therapist from the website, you may request an initial appointment with that clinician. Scheduling depends on availability and fit.
What if I am not sure whether I need art therapy or talk therapy?
You do not need to decide before reaching out. Therapeutic Arts clinicians are trained in art therapy and traditional talk therapy, and sessions are shaped around the client’s needs rather than a requirement to make art.
Can you verify my insurance before I begin?
Contact the practice with your insurance information so the team can explain current network participation and billing options. Coverage, deductibles, and out-of-network reimbursement are determined by the individual plan.
What if I need immediate help?
This website and consultation request process are not emergency services. Use the practice-approved crisis and emergency instructions when they are supplied, and do not use the website form for an urgent safety concern.
