Have Questions? We're Here to Help.
We know starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you probably have questions. Below you'll find answers to beginning your journey with us. If you have more questions or if you'd rather talk it through directly, we'd love to hear from you. Every question matters, and we're committed to making your path feel clear and right for you.
Getting Started
-
You can begin by booking a free 25-minute consultation with the therapist of your choice. On the call you can discuss your therapy needs, explore whether it's a good fit, and ask any questions.
If we ever feel like you may be a better fit with a different therapist on our team, we will let you know in the consultation.
-
Start by filling out the consultation form. You will be able to pick a time to meet with your therapist via video or phone call. We ask that you are in a private and safe space for this consultation.
During the call, you will discuss your therapy needs, explore whether it's a good fit, and ask any questions. If you are feeling aligned with your therapist, they will get you set up for your first session.
-
All Our Kind therapists are highly trained, carefully vetted, and selected for their skill, effectiveness, and use of experiential modalities central to the Our Kind Method.
You may review the therapist profiles, including their bio, approach, and areas of focus, so you can make an informed choice. You can also book a free consultation directly with any therapist and they will guide you to the right person.

Our Method + Specializations
-
Our Kind Therapy is focused on getting you to feel your best as fast as possible. Our work is rooted in attachment-based, experiential, and relational work. We focus on emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and real-time patterns rather than surface-level symptom management.
-
We offer individual, couples, and career therapy. We specialize in general Mental Health Disorders, Relationships & Intimacy, Cultural & Family Dynamics, and Entrepreneurship & Career.
Our therapists hold multiple certifications spanning various approaches such as attachment-based therapy, AEDP, ISTDP, EMDR, somatic therapy, IFS, narrative therapy, and relationship-focused therapy.
-
Experiential therapy slows down your story to be witnessed and rewritten. It helps your body release emotional patterns by working directly with your subconscious mind and nervous system. By moving beyond transactional care, experiential therapy helps you restore genuine connection, release fears held in the body, and awaken a sense of inspired aliveness in you.
Services + Logistics
-
Your first session is focused on connection and clarity. You’ll begin building trust with your therapist, offload what you’ve been holding in, and leave with a felt sense of support and an emerging direction for your work together.
-
Yes. We work with individuals, and couples, including partners navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, cultural dynamics, or emotional disconnection.
-
We currently offer virtual sessions only.
-
Sessions are between 50-75 minutes, depending on which type of session you have chosen with your therapist. Most clients typically meet for 50-55 minute sessions. We encourage weekly sessions for the first 4 months (minimum), though frequency can vary depending on your goals, capacity, and phase of therapy.
-
We are located in new York State. We work with clients across New York City and offer virtual therapy throughout New York State.
-
Due to licensing regulations, therapy sessions are only available to those physically located in New York State. However, if you're outside of New York, we may still be able to work with you in a coaching capacity!
-
We require advance 48-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Please notify your therapist via email 48-hours prior to your booked session. Your therapist will always try to accommodate a reschedule for the same week, if they have the availability. For cancellations and reschedules with less than 48-hours notice, you will be charged the full rate of your session and a rescheduled session would count as a ‘new additionally’ session for the week.
-
Length of therapy varies widely. We offer 16-20 week intensives, as well as on-going support for deeper work. Let your therapist know how you’re feeling about the timeline for therapy, and you two can strategize together on your treatment plan.
-
You’ll know you’re making progress when your reactions start to change outside of sessions, not because you’re trying, but because something inside you is different. Early progress feels like more clarity, less internal friction, and a growing sense that you can trust your own responses, even before everything is “resolved.”
-
At Our Kind Therapy we help clients create meaningful change in their lives. If you’re ready to invest your time and energy in moving things forward, we’re ready for you. Reminder: you don’t need to be in crisis or have a clear goal to begin. We co-create progress in sessions.
