“I cannot recommend Dr. Ecton enough. Having worked closely with them as colleagues for the past five years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the depth of their clinical expertise and their genuine passion for their work. Dr. Ecton is an exceptionally astute clinician, with a rare ability to be fully present and attuned to the intricate dynamics of the psychotherapeutic process. Their understanding of how therapy evolves over time is profound, and they approach each session with a level of mindfulness that allows them to connect deeply with their patients. Dr. Ecton excels in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and understood. They have an innate ability to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, carefully crafting a therapeutic approach that empowers patients to explore their feelings and challenges at their own pace. I am very grateful to have Dr. Ecton as my colleague!”

Getting to know Dr. Grace Ecton
I work with adults navigating grief and loss, mood and anxiety challenges, trauma (including physical, sexual, combat, and racial trauma), substance use, and identity-related concerns like gender, sexuality, and self-esteem. I also provide pre-operative assessments for transgender and gender-diverse patients. As a clinical psychology doctoral fellow at Bryant West Psychology, I offer in-person sessions in Midtown, NYC, and online therapy throughout New York State.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our sessions, you’ll find a compassionate and attentive space. Therapy may include reflection, skill-building, and constructive challenge—all at a pace that feels right for you. We’ll explore not only your current struggles but also patterns in relationships, recurring emotions, and underlying dynamics that may shape your experience. I use a collaborative, personalized approach that integrates relational psychodynamic and existential therapies with evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This combination allows us to address both immediate concerns and deeper patterns, helping you better understand yourself and your connections to others.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We’ll work on easing distress, building coping skills, and exploring deeper patterns that shape your experience. Whether focusing on emotions, relationships, or self-understanding, my goal is to help you live a more connected, meaningful, and grounded life.
My work has been shaped by clinical training at Rutgers University, Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, and the Brooklyn VA Medical Center, where I supported people navigating acute distress, recovery, and major life transitions. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating an affirming and inclusive space for people across the full spectrum of age, race, gender, ability, and culture.

In-network insurances
Dr. Grace Ecton has 200+ 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
Ongoing session: $160-350 for 53 minutes
- 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
Bryant West Psychology works with most insurance plans (whether in-network or out-of-network) to make the financials easy, hassle-free, and paper-work-free for you. We can bill your insurance for you, and you can pay us any deductibles and co-pays by credit card or through Zelle, as well as the old-fashioned ways, such as check or cash.
In-Network: Our clinicians are providers in the following networks: Aetna and its affiliated insurances (Allied Benefit Systems - Aetna, Christian Brothers Services - Aetna, Health Scope - Aetna, Meritain, Nippon, Trustmark ) and student health insurance at NYU, Columbia, New School, and Fordham. Your insurance company sets our fees, co-pays, and deductibles, making our services more affordable when you're in-network. We will discuss this with you.
Out-of-Network: We bill all insurance companies, such as United Health Care, Oxford, Cigna, Blue Cross/Shield, and Beacon (to name a few). Depending on your plan, your insurance may pay up to 80% of our fee (and sometimes more). We will do our best to work with you to make payment arrangements that won't break the bank—that is, your bank.

Grace has been a wonderful support for me. I am somewhat newer to therapy and couldn’t have asked for better support as I navigate multiple life changes. I appreciate their steadying presence and flexible approach to therapy.
