Emily Kessler, LCSW

Emily Kessler, LCSW

Psychotherapist
1178 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, NY
I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from New York University and experience working with adults of all ages in individual therapy. I often support clients dealing with life changes, breaking old habits, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach combines psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques, creating an integrative therapy experience. Together, we'll explore your past and identify the patterns or behaviors that may no longer be serving you. We'll work to shift these long-standing patterns, and I'll support you in recognizing the strengths you already have-strengths that you might not always see. I understand the unique challenges that come with transitions, relationships, goal-setting, and both career and personal development. I'll help guide you toward achieving your goals and creating lasting change. Through open, responsive dialogue, we'll create a space for you to make the changes that matter most to you-on your terms. I'm excited to join you on your journey of self-exploration, growth, and change!

In-network insurances

Emily Kessler, LCSW has +45 in-network plans.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

I aim to make therapy affordable and convenient. I currently accept the following Aetna plans (Allied Benefit Systems - Aetna, Christian Brothers Services - Aetna, Health Scope - Aetna, Meritain, Nippon, Allegiance and Trustmark ) as an in-network provider. In-network, your insurance company sets the fees, co-pays, and deductibles, making therapy more affordable. If you have an insurance plan I do not accept as an in-network provider, please reach out to discuss your options. Depending on your plan, your insurance may pay up to 80% of session fees (and sometimes more). I will do my best to work with you to make payment arrangements that work for you.
