Getting to know Anika Castang

During my 9 years of experience, I have been providing psychotherapy to both adolescents and adults across a range of clinical settings. My professional background includes working in the community as a family therapist on an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team, where I treated individuals with serious mental illnesses, as well as serving as a crisis counselor at multiple crisis centers. I also have experience working as a Substance Abuse Prevention and Intervention Specialist in New York City public schools and as a therapist in a substance abuse treatment clinic. My clinical work primarily focuses on helping clients manage and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, recognize and regulate anger and develop healthier emotional and behavioral coping strategies. I support clients in identifying triggers, increasing self awareness and building skills to help manage intense emotions in adaptive ways. I also work extensively with individuals experiencing major life transitions, helping them navigate the stressors associated with change, including uncertainty, instability and shifts in identity or roles. Through a collaborative and strengths based approach, I assist clients in building resilience, increasing emotional well being and fostering personal growth during challenging times. My goal is to empower clients to create meaningful and sustainable change in their lives.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
