“Main concern was if the provider was bilingual. Jorge not only confirmed but he also articulated in Spanish. Was kind and attentive. Look forward to future sessions.”

“Jorge is extremely understanding and compassionate! He was easy to open up to. He never judges and he knows how to challenge me in a warm and empathetic way. I truly feel seen in my work with him. That says a lot because I’ve been through a handful of therapist in my past. I highly recommend Jorge anytime someone asks me about therapy. ”

Getting to know Jorge Calixto
As an integrative and psychodynamically oriented clinician, I create a safe and trusting therapeutic space where change, growth, and recovery occur. It's a non-judgmental environment where you can be your authentic self and freely express and explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Whether you know exactly what you want to work on or you know you need change but don't know where to start, I can help. There are numerous avenues to work through life's hurdles, and my job is to help you figure out which path is best for you. It is never too late to make a change, and my goal is to help you live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life, free of unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and emotional distress.
I believe it is important to meet people where they are and in each person's ability to make the change they want to see. My approach to therapy is integrative, tailoring our sessions to your unique needs and where you are in your journey while exploring your emotions, your relationship with them, and how this impacts your relationships. We will work collaboratively to develop the skills needed to navigate your current issues while also delving into your past to discover the root causes of your challenges.
I am equipped to work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, panic, trauma, addiction and maladaptive coping mechanisms, interpersonal trauma, emerging adults struggling with life transitions, and individuals from communities where mental health is stigmatized or unacknowledged. I earned my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College, City University of New York, and completed my clinical internship at the Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai West. I have also worked in community mental health for years, serving a wide range of clients and offering sessions in both English and Spanish.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I center your needs in treatment and will adjust accordingly to you with my method and approach. There is no one size-fits-all approach here and I am curious to learn how our process will unfold together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I practice talk therapy and let the session unfold however you need it to by meeting you where you are at.
Jorge Calixto, LMHC is not in-network with any insurances
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
Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 50 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

I am In Network with most United and Optum plans with the exception of any medicaid plans through those networks.

The changes I have seen in myself since I started therapy with him are extremely noticeable, I am immensely happy. He is very understanding, patient and empathetic. And a super plus is that he speaks English and Spanish.

I couldn’t ask for a better therapist! Each of my meetings is a chance for me to reflect on my feelings and my week. He is great at listening while also guiding me to talk about certain subjects. Even on quieter weeks I am still able to reflect and manage my anxiety better due to our conversations.
I could not more highly recommend a therapist to speak with.
Not to mention he is very flexible and understanding given my often last minute schedule.

Jorge is an excellent therapist and a great listener. I have been working with him for 18 months now, and our progress with my mental health has been outstanding! I feel like my social anxiety (which got really bad during the pandemic because of the lockdowns) has completely gone away, and my self-sabotaging (negative thoughts) is also way better. He has given me many valuable insights during our sessions. I went from being completely alone, with no-one but a roommate that I didn’t really like, to now being in a happy relationship with someone who I have shared goals and visions for the future with, as well as being surrounded by people who support me and care about me. Jorge is awesome and I highly recommend working with him.
