Spinal cord stimulator, chronic pain, and cosmetic surgery evaluations are for adults. Therapy is for adults and couples.
Do I need a referral to schedule an evaluation?
For most evaluations, no referral is needed and you can request an appointment directly. Some pre-surgical clearances are requested by your surgical program, and in those cases we coordinate the report directly with your provider [link: /pre-surgical-evaluations/]. If you are using insurance, we recommend verifying your coverage before scheduling
Do you offer telehealth or in-person appointments in New York or New Jersey?
Both. Most therapy and many evaluations are available by secure telehealth throughout New York and New Jersey. We also see clients in person at our Manhattan offices and in Montclair, New Jersey. Some evaluations, such as autism, are conducted in person.
How do I book an appointment?
You can request an appointment directly through our website, and we will follow up to confirm the details and answer any questions before your first visit. If you are coming in for a pre-surgical clearance, let us know your program’s timeline so we can prioritize your report.
What are your hours?
Our hours are:
- Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Sunday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Telehealth appointments are available across New York and New Jersey during these hours.
What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, or missed appointments, are subject to a $195 charge.
What insurance do you accept?
For evaluations, we are in-network with Cigna, and we also offer self-pay, with an out-of-network superbill available on request. For therapy, we are in-network through Headway with United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Oscar Health, and Oxford. We are not currently accepting Medicaid. If you are using insurance for therapy, you will receive a separate email from Headway to set up your account. Please complete all forms and information before your first session, so claims are not delayed. We recommend verifying your coverage before your first appointment.
How much do evaluations and therapy cost?
Evaluation fees range from $595 to $895 depending on the type of evaluation, and each service page lists its specific fee.
Individual therapy is $295 for the initial session and $255 for follow-ups, with a sliding scale available for clients without insurance or referred clients whose insurance we do not accept.
Couples therapy is $375 for the initial session and $315 for each 60-minute follow-up.
How long does an evaluation take, and when will I get my report?
Most evaluations are completed in a single appointment, and for most services, your written report is ready within 2 to 3 business days. Bariatric clearances offer a 24-hour rush option when a surgery date is tight. Autism evaluations may involve additional time given the standardized tools used, and we will walk you through the timeline at your appointment.
What is the difference between an evaluation and therapy?
An evaluation is a focused assessment with a defined endpoint. You come in, a clinician gathers a complete picture of your history and current functioning, and you leave with a written report and clear answers, often in a single appointment. Therapy is ongoing support that unfolds over time. At You Can Do It, PLLC you can come for an evaluation alone, with no expectation of anything more, or find both, with clinicians who already understand your full picture.
Which evaluation do I need?
If you are preparing for weight-loss surgery, a spinal cord stimulator, or another procedure that requires psychological clearance, you likely need a pre-surgical evaluation [link: /pre-surgical-evaluations/]. If you are seeking answers about attention, focus, or a possible autism or ADHD diagnosis, our autism [link: /autism-evaluations/] and ADHD [link: /adhd-evaluations/] evaluations are the place to start. If you are not sure, request an appointment and we will help point you to the right one.
