Hempstead Therapy Center

If you typed ‘Hempstead Therapy Center’ into a search bar, you probably want straightforward therapy. You might be dealing with anxiety that keeps looping, a low mood that will not lift, anger that is starting to show up in relationships, or a sense that you are stuck in the same patterns.

Citron Hennessey Therapy works with adults and couples across New York. You can meet with a therapist online from Hempstead, or choose in-person sessions at our Manhattan office. Either way, the goal is simple: understand what is happening and make practical changes in daily life.

Hempstead Therapy Center Options at Citron Hennessey Therapy

We provide individual therapy and couples therapy with licensed New York therapists. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and we focus on tools and strategies you can carry into real situations, not just insights that stay in the therapy room.

People reach out for many reasons, but these are some of the most common concerns we support:

Anxiety, panic, stress, and social anxiety
Depression, grief, and life transitions
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and rumination
Anger and reactive conflict
Perfectionism and burnout
Relationship and couples concerns
LGBTQ+ affirming care and identity exploration

You can learn more on our service pages for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Depression, Social Anxiety, and OCD Therapy in New York.

If you are worried about choosing the wrong therapist, you are not alone. We start with a brief intake and match you with a therapist and an approach that fit your goals. If it is not the right fit, we can rematch you.

How to Choose the Right Therapy Fit in Hempstead

Choosing a therapist is easier when you know what you want to change.

If you are comparing Hempstead therapy center options, look for a provider who can explain their approach and make it easy to stay consistent.

If you want skills you can practice between sessions, look for a provider who uses evidence-based modalities and can explain what sessions will actually look like. At Citron Hennessey Therapy, we draw on approaches such as CBT, rational emotive-behavioral therapy (REBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and Choice Theory and Reality Therapy.

Also, pay attention to logistics. Therapy is unlikely to help if you can’t attend consistently. In our own practice, we recommend weekly sessions at the start because repetition matters when you are learning new ways of thinking and coping.

Online Therapy for Hempstead Residents

For many people in Hempstead, online therapy is the easiest way to stay consistent. You can meet from home or any private space.

We use a premium Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant version of the Zoom platform for online therapy. With a working microphone and webcam, or a phone or tablet, you can meet face to face with your therapist without the travel time.

Online therapy can be a strong fit if your schedule is unpredictable, you are juggling family responsibilities, you want more privacy, or leaving home feels like too much right now. Citron Hennessey Therapy provides virtual therapy across New York State, so Hempstead residents can work with our team without having to change their location.

In-Person Therapy in Manhattan for Hempstead Residents

Some people do better in the room. In-person therapy can feel more grounded and focused, especially if home is loud, busy, or not private enough.

Citron Hennessey Therapy offers in-person sessions at 37 W 20th St, 4th Floor, number 407, New York, NY 10011. The office is designed to feel calm, welcoming, and private, and the therapy suites are soundproofed for confidentiality.

Many clients meet in person when they can and use secure video when life gets busy.

What to Expect When You Start

Starting therapy should feel clear, not mysterious. Here is what the process usually looks like.

First, you reach out through Find Your Therapist or Contact. Our business hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 am to 9:00 pm.

Next, you complete a brief intake so we can understand what you want help with, your scheduling needs, and what kind of therapist you are looking for. Then we match you to a clinician.

Your first appointment lasts one hour. Ongoing sessions are about 50 minutes.

We set aside a weekly time for you, so please give 48 hours’ notice to cancel. We offer reschedules based on clinician availability.

Cost and Insurance Basics

Insurance is messy, and two people with the same carrier can have totally different coverage. We are an out-of-network provider for most PPO plans and some POS plans, which means you may have reimbursement depending on your benefits. Before you start, our support team can help check what your plan typically covers and what you should expect to pay out of pocket, so there are no surprises.

If cost is a barrier, we also offer an advanced clinical training program that can be a more affordable option when the standard rate or your insurance benefits are not a fit.

When Citron Hennessey Therapy May Not Be the Right Fit

Part of doing this responsibly is being clear about what we can and cannot treat. Some concerns need a higher level of care or a specialized program, and we are not set up to provide that kind of support.

We are not able to treat attempted suicide within the past 12 months, extreme self-harm, eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, autism spectrum needs, borderline personality disorder, alcoholism or drug addiction, bipolar I, bipolar II if unmedicated, schizophrenia or psychosis, or psychiatric hospitalization within the past 12 months.

If you are not sure what applies to you, still reach out. A quick conversation can help you get clarity and figure out the safest, most appropriate next step.

FAQs About Hempstead Therapy

Do you offer online therapy for Hempstead residents?

Yes. If you live in Hempstead, you can do online therapy with us as long as you live in New York State. Sessions happen over secure video, so you can meet from home or any private space that works for you. Online therapy is a good fit if your schedule is packed, you do not want to deal with commuting, or getting out the door feels tough right now.
Can I switch between online therapy and in-person sessions?

Yes. A lot of people switch back and forth depending on what their week looks like. Some weeks, coming into the office feels easier and more focused. Other weeks, online is the only way to keep the appointment because of work, travel, illness, childcare, or just a packed schedule.

The point is not picking one format forever. The point is staying consistent, and we will help you choose the setup that makes that easier.
Do you prescribe medication?

No. We provide psychotherapy, not medication management. If it seems like medication could be helpful, we will talk it through with you and coordinate with an approved psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Therapy and medication can work well together for some people, but it is always a personal decision, and it should be guided by a licensed prescriber who can evaluate your situation fully.
How do I reach your team?

The easiest options are to call (917) 775 0793, text (917) 216 7787, or email hello@privatetherapy.com. If you prefer to start online, you can also use the Contact page or Find Your Therapist form, and our team will follow up to help you take the next step.
