Why MindView
Most therapy in Staten Island has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Plenty of practices take Cigna. What you get here is one format for every client: a full intake, a written treatment plan, and standardized measures reviewed with you every month, so you can see whether it is working.
- 01
Intake
What is actually going on, rated 0 to 10 as your baseline.
- 02
Your history
Why it is happening. History, relationships, work, health.
- 03
Treatment plan
Written and collaborative, built against those causes.
- 04
Monthly review
Standardized measures, reviewed with you. You see the trend.
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Every clinician is state-licensed before they see a single client. Then they train with us across every modality, and how to match one to the problem in front of them.

The support staff was very helpful in assisting me to find the right provider. And the provider they found me is personable, a good listener, has good advice, and appears to be quite knowledgeable. I'm very happy with my decision to go with MindView.

Cigna in Staten Island, in short
MindView Therapy is in-network with Cigna for Staten Island adults, with private video sessions anywhere in New York State. If your household's Cigna card comes from your employer, anyone covered on it, adults 18 and over, can use its therapy benefit, and we verify the copay before session one. Accepting new clients now.
A lot of Staten Island households carry two insurance cards, one from a city job, one from a private employer. This page is about the second card, when it says Cigna, and about how its therapy benefit serves a house where hard days come home from work and mostly go unmentioned.
Does MindView take Cigna in Staten Island?
Yes. Cigna members on Staten Island book with us directly, and sessions run by secure video anywhere in New York State, private by format and by design.
No island office, stated plainly; ours is in Jamaica, Queens. In a borough where privacy is scarce and everyone’s cousin knows everyone’s business, therapy that never parks a car anywhere is a feature.
The borough that answers the city’s worst calls
Staten Island supplies five percent of the city’s workforce and, by the state’s own 2016 count, thirty-nine percent of its firefighters. The same count put a fifth of the city’s police officers and a tenth of its elementary and middle school teachers on the island. The uniformed services live here, which shapes what the island’s households carry home in the evening.
That context matters for this page in one specific way, the insurance arithmetic of the two-card household, which comes next.
Two cards in the house: which one covers therapy
Many first-responder households hold two insurance cards, and the therapy question is usually answered by the second one. The first card belongs to the city job. The second often comes from a spouse’s private employer, and when that card says Cigna, everyone covered on it, adults 18 and over with us, can use its therapy benefit individually.
Since no individual Cigna plan is sold in New York, that card is employer coverage with a design your workplace chose, a copay or coinsurance after a deductible. We verify who the plan covers and what each session costs, with answers delivered before the intake.
What Cigna charges, found two ways
The self-serve route: the myCigna app lists your outpatient mental health copay per provider, readable tonight. The full-service route: we verify everything during the benefits check and send the figures in writing. Most households do both and find they agree.
What the coverage buys is a room where the unwritten rule does not apply. Houses that answer the city’s worst calls tend to run on an unwritten rule of not bringing the calls to dinner, and the rule costs more than it saves. Whether it is the responder carrying a vigilance that never fully stands down or the partner absorbing strain the marriage was never briefed on, the covered hour is where the rule gets suspended safely.
How booking works

What Cigna covers here
- •Cigna sells no individual plans in New York, so a Staten Island Cigna card came through an employer, whose plan design sets your copay or coinsurance.
- •Everyone covered on the plan can use its therapy benefit individually. We see adults 18 and over, and we verify who is covered during the same benefits check.
- •Your copay is visible in the myCigna app, listed per provider, or we verify it for you. On New York-regulated plans, your therapy copay cannot be higher than your primary-care copay, a rule we confirm applies to your plan.
- •Sessions are confidential, and claims run through the insurance plan, never through any employer's chain of command.

What we treat
What does therapy here actually look like?
The first three sessions follow a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
- Getting started
Your first session is an intake. Your therapist asks what brought you in and about your history, and you rate the intensity of what you are feeling from 0 to 10. That becomes your baseline. You set a recurring weekly time before you leave.
- Mapping what is behind it
Your therapist walks through your life across stages, looking for the patterns and strengths behind what brought you in. You can decline any question and keep any answer short.
- Writing the plan together
You and your therapist build the plan together. Goals are tied to what you came in for, each with concrete objectives, plus one personal goal that matters to you.
- Ongoing
Weekly sessions work the plan. Once a month you and your therapist review standardized measures together to see whether it is working, and the plan is adjusted from what they show.
Therapy here is measured, not guessed
Once a month you have a measurement-based care review. You complete standardized measures, and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If something is not working, the plan changes. Regular therapy is the work. The review is the navigation system that keeps it pointed at the right target.
Sessions are weekly for the first two months to build a foundation, then frequency is reassessed with you. You set the pace, and you share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Cigna questions
Does MindView Therapy take Cigna in Staten Island?
Yes. We are in-network with Cigna and see Staten Island adults by secure video anywhere in New York State. We keep no island office; our nearest is in Jamaica, Queens, and sessions run by video, which suits private matters well.
My husband is on the job; my Cigna plan comes from my employer. Can the family use it for therapy?
Yes. Anyone covered on your Cigna plan can use its therapy benefit, each person individually, adults 18 and over with us. We verify exactly who the plan covers and what the copay is, and the answers come back before anyone books.
Does anything from therapy get back to a city employer?
No. Sessions are confidential, and claims travel through the insurance plan like any medical visit, not through any employer's chain of command. Who in your life knows about therapy is a decision that stays entirely yours.
How do I find my Cigna copay?
The myCigna app lists it per provider, outpatient mental health under your plan's benefits. Prefer to skip the app? We verify it during the benefits check and tell you the number before your first session.
