Balanced Mind of New York is Streamlining Access to Quality Mental Health Care Through Innovative Therapy Methods
Manhattan, NY – Research shows that every year, about 20 percent of the US population suffers from mental health illnesses, and about 5 percent report serious psychological distress. However, the use of mental health services is low and inequitably distributed. In New York City (NYC), to be precise, the non-Hispanic white population is more likely to seek mental health services than non-Hispanic black or Hispanic individuals. This data, coupled with the size and diversity of the NYC population, culture, language, and ethnicity, makes the challenges of access to mental health care more acute.
Balanced Mind of New York is changing this narrative by providing innovative and cost-effective mental health services with a multicultural approach. They are a group of licensed psychotherapists that offer specialized psychotherapy services to adults and couples in New York state. They provide a supportive and confidential environment for adults experiencing difficulties with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship conflict, work-related stress, life transitions, grief, and loss.
Balanced Mind of New York deploys two transformative methods to restoring mental health – Schema Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). Schema Therapy combines cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic principles to help individuals identify and shift detrimental life patterns or ‘schemas.’ When left unchecked, these schemas can lead to destructive thought patterns and behaviors. Schema Therapy aims to replace these harmful schemas with healthier ones, thereby fostering improved mental and emotional well-being.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is specifically designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories to bring these to an adaptive resolution. Successful treatment with EMDR therapy relieves emotional distress, reformulates negative beliefs, and reduces physiological arousal.
Aside from innovative therapy solutions, the psychotherapy practice of Balanced Mind of New York provides a comprehensive, multicultural, and accessible approach to mental health care. They offer online therapy to provide mental health care services remotely, making it more accessible to people across New York.
“Booking a consultation with Balanced Mind of New York is free and usually takes less than 15 minutes,” says founder Grace Higa, LCSW. This streamlined scheduling eliminates the need for clients to wait for months on traditional waitlists.
The practice also understands the importance of affordability and accepts several insurance plans. They are an in-network provider for several insurance carriers, including Aetna, Oscar, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare. Plus, they offer reimbursement aid for out-of-network insurers. This makes access to mental healthcare cost-effective for New Yorkers, further addressing accessibility issues and making the journey to mental and emotional well-being seamless.
