“From day one Veronica showed my wife and I that our relationship is first priority. She is very good at showing us how to open our eyes when they have been so shut. Her honesty although not always what you want to here but necessary is second to none. We have been to other therapist in the past but we have found that Veronica is well balanced, not one sided and fair in her analyses. ”

Getting to know Veronica Cerda
Veronica is dedicated to empowering individuals and couples to live authentic, connected lives grounded in resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. She understands the unique pace and pressures of life in New York City and believes that mental health is a vital part of overall wellness. Through secure, convenient telehealth sessions, Veronica provides accessible support for clients navigating stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth.
Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she combines evidence-based CBT with Person-Centered Therapy to help clients build insight, confidence, and practical strategies for lasting change.

She is pursuing certification as a Gottman Couples Therapist and has completed Level 1 Training. She enjoys supporting couples in improving communication, deepening connection, and fostering fulfilling relationships—now available through flexible telehealth sessions for New York clients.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Veronica strives to provide a fun-spirited and welcoming environment. She focuses on providing a healing space where trust and vulnerability can grow. Veronica also provides a culturally and LGBTQIAA+ aware perspective in order to honor client's perspective.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use the first session to get to know my clients. We go through presenting issues and concerns, childhood traumas, recent changes, and coping skills being used. The following sessions are more unstructured where we focus on current concerns. As time progresses, I look for behavior patterns that give insight into barriers causing anxiety and depression.

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
Initial session: $150 for 55 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 55 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
I currently use Alma, a platform that verifies your insurance. This may take up to 2-3 days once the insurance is verified and we will be able to have the appointment.

Veronica is a great listener. She takes the time to understand what you are saying and really does treat you as a unique individual, not just like another client with some disorder. You can tell she cares and is knowledgeable about helping you. I definitely recommend her
