Services, Fees & Payment Options

Free Consultation

We offer a complimentary 20–30 minute phone consultation to help determine whether our services are a good fit for your needs. During this call, we can answer questions about Art Therapy and psychotherapy services, discuss your goals and concerns, review our telehealth process, and assist with scheduling if you decide to move forward.

In-person & Telehealth Services

Art Therapy and psychotherapy sessions are available both in person and via telehealth, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their needs.

In-person sessions are offered at our interactive office space at Java Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The space is designed to support both traditional psychotherapy and creative, experiential Art Therapy sessions, with access to art materials and space for hands-on therapeutic work.

Telehealth sessions are provided through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, allowing clients to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own space while offering greater flexibility and convenience.

Prior to your first appointment, you will receive information about your session location or instructions for accessing our secure online client portal and telehealth platform. Clients participating via telehealth will need a reliable internet connection and a device with video and audio capabilities.

Fees, Payment & Insurance Reimbursement

Creative Art Therapy Place, PLLC is primarily an out-of-network psychotherapy practice. Clients receiving out-of-network services are responsible for payment at the time of service.

Many insurance plans include out-of-network (OON) mental health benefits that may reimburse a portion of the cost of psychotherapy and Art Therapy services. Coverage and reimbursement vary significantly by insurance company and individual plan, so we encourage clients to verify their specific out-of-network benefits directly with their insurance provider.

For out-of-network sessions, we can provide a Superbill—a detailed receipt containing the information your insurance company may require when submitting a claim for possible reimbursement.

Cigna & Carelon Insurance

Brittany Knapp, LCAT, ATR accepts Cigna and Carelon insurance through Headway for eligible individual therapy sessions. Insurance eligibility and coverage are subject to the terms of your individual plan.

If you are interested in using Cigna or Carelon insurance for therapy with Brittany, please contact us before scheduling so we can discuss your coverage and the appropriate process for beginning services through Headway.

Sliding Scale

A limited number of sliding-scale appointments may be available based on financial need, particularly for individuals who do not have insurance coverage or access to out-of-network benefits. Please inquire about current availability.

If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, we recommend discussing this during your consultation. We can provide the information you may need to contact your insurance company and ask about your plan's reimbursement for out-of-network psychotherapy services.

Sliding Scale for financial need**

Sliding Scale Options

At Creative Art Therapy Place, we believe therapy should be as accessible as possible. When there is demonstrated financial need and therapist availability, we may be able to offer sliding scale rates to help make sessions more affordable.

In some cases, we can also help you review your out-of-network insurance reimbursement benefits to estimate what portion of the session fee may be reimbursed. This can help us determine a more manageable overall cost for therapy.

Please note that sliding scale slots are limited and may not always be available.

If cost is a concern, we encourage you to reach out to discuss your situation. We’re happy to explore whether a reduced rate or reimbursement options may help make therapy more accessible for you.
