Kim T. Nguyen, Psy.D.

I see psychotherapy as part of the process of learning to care for ourselves and those we love, while navigating the dynamic tension between accepting and making adjustments in our lives. Through collaboration, our work will center on curiosity, and locating what is present so that we can cultivate what is necessary for the challenges you may be experiencing. I see adolescents and adults in my practice for individual psychotherapy. I also work with children and families to navigate challenging lived experiences such losing a loved one. Currently I provide weekly, 50-minute, in-person psychotherapy, and if clinically appropriate weekly, 50-minute telehealth psychotherapy in the states of New York and Connecticut. My practice accepts health insurance and out-of-network health benefits. I also have a limited number of sliding scales for those who may be eligible. As a bi-cultural and bilingual clinician I value diversity and work to honor the nuances in our human experiences and identities. While the past may provide us with insight into our history, I will address your current concerns collaboratively and pragmatically with a focus on the present. Regarding Health Insurance and Fees: See below for the health insurance plans that my practice accepts. If using your out-of-network health benefits, I can provide you with a monthly billing statement (often known as a “superbill”) to submit for reimbursement to your insurance company. I am also always glad to provide billing statements for services so you can get reimbursement from your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) if your employer offers one. A DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE USE OF INSURANCE: I fully support you choosing to use your insurance plan to help you pay for therapy. However, I wish to bring your attention to several matters to consider, so you may make a well-informed decision. Most insurance plans require a mental health diagnosis in order to pay for treatment, which then becomes part of your medical record and the insurance company's files; this can have an impact on future applications for health or life insurance. Additionally, in order to get your treatment authorized, your insurance company maintains some types of access to your treatment records, and ultimately decides whether treatment is medically necessary. I preserve as much confidentiality as possible, releasing only information deemed necessary for authorizing services, but it is my responsibility to make you aware of potential impact of these disclosures, given my professional mandate to protect privacy. Please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any further questions about insurance and privacy.
