Mindset Psychology

What Mindset Psychology is

Mindset Psychology is an online mental health practice providing therapy, psychiatric medication management, psychological assessments, and nutrition counseling through licensed psychologists, licensed therapists, licensed mental health counselors, and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The practice operates across nine states: New York, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Delaware, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida. All care is delivered via telehealth, meaning appointments happen on video or phone from your home or anywhere you have internet access. The practice emphasizes a holistic approach to mental health, considering not just psychological symptoms but also lifestyle factors including fitness, diet, and spirituality. The team includes psychologists with doctoral degrees (PsyD and PhD), clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors, a registered dietitian, and a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner.

The clinical team and credentials

Mindset Psychology's site lists the full staff with credentials. The founder and a senior clinician is Dr. Jonathan Rabbani, PsyD (Doctor of Psychology), who specializes in anxiety and anxiety-related disorders including OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia, ADHD, depression, and self-esteem issues. His approach emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. Dr. Lindsay Werkheiser, PsyD, treats depression, anxiety, life transitions, caregiver stress, and relationship issues using CBT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness. Dr. Erin Jerome, PsyD, works with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, self-esteem, caregiving stress, chronic pain, and life transitions via CBT, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and mindfulness. Dr. Bianca Vélez, PsyD, treats depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, grief, and chronic pain with culturally responsive approaches and offers services in both English and Spanish.

Dr. Rodrigo Muñoz, PsyD, specializes in anxiety, depression, stress, and personal growth challenges with evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, also bilingual in English and Spanish. Dr. Ann Marie Nikola, PsyD, provides trauma-informed, evidence-based care for children, teens, and adults through a collaborative and personalized approach. Dr. Linda Street, PhD, brings over 25 years of experience helping adults and teens manage anxiety, panic, depression, OCD, ADHD, and trichotillomania, creating a warm, supportive environment for lasting change. Beyond the psychologists, the practice includes Nichole Mina and Jake Dann-Soury, both LCSWs (Licensed Clinical Social Workers), specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions. Pedro Collado, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), focuses on anxiety, depression, perfectionism, anger management, boundary-setting, and identity and LGBTQ+ issues. Kayla Pulizzi, LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker), specializes in OCD, phobias, food and body image, and anxiety using evidence-based approaches. The team also includes Limor Tabib, RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist), who addresses nutrition holistically for weight management, hormone balance including PCOS and fertility, diabetes, eating challenges, and gastrointestinal conditions. Joseph Rowney, PMHNP-BC (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board-Certified), provides medication management for depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, addiction, and insomnia.

Services offered

The practice provides individual therapy, couples therapy, medication management, adolescent therapy, online therapy (which is the whole practice's modality), psychiatric medication prescription, psychological assessment, and dietitian services. Individual therapy addresses work and school stress, medication management, sleep problems, life transitions, trauma, phobias, peak performance, panic attacks, OCD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Couples therapy focuses on rebuilding communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening connection together. Adolescent therapy serves teenagers and young adults. Psychiatric medication services are provided by the board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who can evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medications to support treatment. The site notes that medication can be managed through the practice or through an outside provider if you prefer.

Psychological assessment involves comprehensive evaluations using clinical interviews, standardized testing, and behavioral assessments to create a full picture of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This is useful for people seeking clarity on ADHD, mental health concerns, or trauma-related functioning. The dietitian creates personalized nutrition plans for weight management, hormonal health, and gastrointestinal conditions. The site emphasizes that nutrition plays a pivotal role in mental and physical health, affecting energy, mood, and mental clarity.

Conditions and therapeutic approaches

Mindset Psychology names the following conditions it treats: anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ issues, life transitions, PTSD, relationship issues, religion and culture concerns, self-esteem problems, sexual dysfunction, sleep disorders, and work-life balance. The practice uses multiple evidence-based therapeutic modalities including CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. This range of approaches means the practice can tailor treatment to your specific condition and therapeutic preference rather than forcing everyone through one modality.

Insurance and cost structure

Mindset Psychology is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Oxford, Oscar, Cigna, Lyra, Carelon, and Providence. Being in-network means these insurance plans have negotiated rates with the practice, and your copay or coinsurance applies as your insurance terms specify. For those with out-of-network insurance, Mindset Psychology will provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) at the end of each month so you can submit it to your insurance for potential reimbursement. The amount reimbursed depends on your plan's out-of-network benefits, deductible status, and coverage percentage.

Out-of-pocket session fees, for those paying without insurance, range from $150 to $300 per session depending on the clinician's level of education, experience, and expertise. The practice does not list individual provider rates on the site but advises calling the office at 516-208-2638 to ask about specific clinician pricing. The practice also offers a free 15-minute consultation to help match you with the right therapist and answer questions. If a good fit is not found during the consultation, the practice will offer referrals.

Telehealth platform and first appointment

Mindset Psychology understands that busy lives make in-person therapy difficult, so telehealth appointments bring therapy to your home or wherever you feel comfortable. This increases access for people who would otherwise struggle to fit therapy into demanding schedules. The site does not specify which video platform is used (Zoom, Thera-Link, etc.) but confirms that all care is delivered remotely.

Your first session is described as a conversation, not an evaluation. The site suggests this initial meeting is exploratory and collaborative rather than clinical assessment feeling. This framing may reduce anxiety for people nervous about a first therapy appointment.

Geographic limits and eligibility

The practice is licensed to serve patients in nine states: New York, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, Delaware, Colorado, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida. If you live outside these states, you cannot use Mindset Psychology's services, as telehealth is regulated by state licensure. The practice emphasizes it takes a holistic and evidence-based approach, examining lifestyle factors alongside psychological symptoms to address the full picture of wellbeing.

What the practice does not disclose

The site does not state the practice's typical wait time for appointments or average time between booking and first session. It does not publish individual clinician bios beyond credentials and specialties, so you cannot read lengthier profiles before scheduling. The site does not detail whether therapists can do brief therapy or focus mainly on longer-term treatment. It does not specify whether the practice accepts Medicaid, only mentions private insurance and out-of-pocket payment. It does not publish appointment lengths or session frequency recommendations. There is no pricing list by insurance plan or detailed explanation of how deductibles and copays work in their specific billing.

Who it fits

Mindset Psychology fits well for people living in one of its nine states who prefer telehealth over in-person therapy, who have in-network insurance with the plans it serves, or who can pay $150 to $300 per session out-of-pocket. It is a good match for people seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, couples issues, or life transitions with a licensed psychologist or therapist. For those needing psychiatric medication, the board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner provides medication management without requiring a separate psychiatrist appointment elsewhere. For people interested in connecting nutrition to mental health, the registered dietitian offers that integration within one practice.

It is not suited for people outside the nine covered states, those on Medicaid, or those needing in-person appointments. It is not a crisis service; while therapy is available, it is not emergency psychiatric hospitalization. It is not appropriate for people in immediate danger to themselves or others, who need emergency services instead. For those with complex psychiatric needs requiring hospitalization, an inpatient stay, or intensive outpatient programs, Mindset Psychology would be a maintenance and follow-up service rather than an acute intervention.

The bottom line

Mindset Psychology offers a full-service telehealth mental health practice with depth in both psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management. The range of licensed clinicians with different specialties means most people will find a provider match, and the diverse therapeutic approaches ensure treatment can be tailored to your specific needs. For working professionals, rural residents, and busy parents in one of its nine states who need therapy or medication management, it provides access from home without traveling to a clinic or waiting weeks for an appointment slot.
