Getting to know Dr. Peter C. Benedict

What was formed in relationship can be changed in relationship. Do you find that difficult patterns of thought and emotions keep returning and creating challenges in your personal or work life? As a psychotherapist with a Master's in Counseling from New York University and doctoral training from Pacifica Graduate Institute, I offer relationally focused individual, couples, and group sessions-drawing from somatic and mindfulness practices, communication skills, couples counseling, emotionally focused and parts-based approaches, cognitive therapy, and other therapeutic modalities-to raise awareness of such patterns and help awaken the inherent strength and vitality in you to make positive changes in your life. Together we can discover new pathways for growth. My practice can work with your health plan's out-of-network benefits to get you the best rates, usually close to in-network rates. Make an appointment to let us check your benefits to determine how we can best work together at an affordable rate.

In-network insurances

Dr. Peter C. Benedict 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
  • 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

My practice can work with your health plan's out-of-network benefits to get you the best rates, usually close to in-network rates. Let us check your benefits at Aetna, Cigna, MagnaCare, UnitedHealthcare, and other PPO/POS plans to determine how we can best work together at an affordable rate.
