Why MindView
Most therapy in Brooklyn has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Plenty of practices take Highmark BCBS WNY. 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.

Highmark BCBS WNY in Brooklyn, in short
MindView Therapy is in-network with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York, and members living in Brooklyn see us by secure video anywhere in New York State. Moved downstate with an upstate plan? It still works for therapy, and we verify your copay before your first session. Accepting new clients now.
This page is for a specific person, the one who took the job, packed the car in Buffalo or Rochester, and is now holding a Western New York insurance card on a Brooklyn couch. Your Highmark plan did not stop working when you crossed the Thruway. Therapy by video is covered statewide, and here is how it plays out.
Does MindView take Highmark BCBS WNY in Brooklyn?
Yes. We are in-network with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York, and a member sitting in Brooklyn books with us the same way one in Buffalo would, by secure video, covered statewide.
Full disclosure on addresses: our closest office to the borough is in Jamaica, Queens, and Brooklyn clients meet us virtually. Given that this page’s reader probably just finished carrying boxes up three flights, a session that requires no travel may land well.
A Buffalo-area card in a Brooklyn apartment
Every year more than forty thousand people arrive in Brooklyn from another New York county, and a fair number of them are still carrying a Buffalo-area insurance card. Census takers counted 42,179 in-state arrivals in the latest year alone. Some kept a Western New York plan through an employer based upstate; some are simply between open-enrollment windows in a new city.
Whichever describes you, the geography of the plan does not decide the geography of your care. Our clinicians hold New York licenses, video sessions are covered anywhere in the state, and the plan in your wallet connects to a therapist in your new borough tonight if you want it to.
What Highmark plans charge for therapy
The Western New York lineup is unusually kind on this point, and the plan documents say so concretely. On the Western New York Highmark plans, a therapy session carries the same copay as seeing your primary-care doctor, and there is no cap on how many sessions your plan will cover. Across the 2025 brochure that copay runs from $0 to $75 depending on which plan was chosen, figures set out in the plan materials, not by us.
Add no referral requirement, and starting therapy is mostly a matter of deciding to. We still verify your specific plan and put your number in writing first, because your exact design is the one that matters.
The move nobody warns you about
A move takes your routines, your neighbors, and your favorite grocery store in one truck; it does not have to take your therapist. The first months in a new city are a documented emotional low point, everything familiar gone at once, replaced by a borough where you know nobody’s name. Most people white-knuckle it and call it adjusting.
You do not have to. Whether it shows up as a persistent flatness or a hum of anxiety about whether this was the right call, a weekly hour with a therapist gives the transition somewhere to go, paid for by the plan you already brought with you.
How to start
Brooklyn’s plan list in full, since you may be comparing a partner’s card too: UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, Oscar Health, Meritain Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Optum, Highmark BCBS WNY, Univera Healthcare and MagnaCare.
Request a clinician on the booking page. We verify the upstate plan, confirm your copay, and get your first video session scheduled. Or call (646) 493-4007; we answer within one business day, which is faster than the cable company.
What Highmark BCBS WNY covers here
- •Highmark BCBS WNY plans are sold in eight Western New York counties, so a member in Brooklyn usually kept the plan through an upstate employer or a recent move. Either way, video therapy with a New York-licensed clinician is a covered use of it.
- •On the 2025 Western New York plan lineup, an outpatient mental health visit carries the same copay as a primary-care visit, and mental health therapy carries no visit limits. Those are the brochure's figures, and we verify your specific plan.
- •No referral is needed to start therapy on these plans. You can book first and tell your doctor later, or never.
- •Your card reads Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield with the cross-and-shield marks, and a digital copy lives in the My Highmark app if the physical one is still in a moving box.

- 2

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.

Highmark BCBS WNY questions
I moved to Brooklyn but my Highmark plan is from Buffalo. Can I still see a therapist?
Yes, and without gymnastics. Your sessions with us happen by secure video, which is covered anywhere in New York State, so a Western New York plan works fine from a Brooklyn apartment. We verify your plan and confirm your copay before your first session.
Does MindView take Highmark BCBS WNY in Brooklyn?
Yes. We are in-network with Highmark BCBS WNY and see its members by telehealth statewide. We have no Brooklyn office, and our closest location is in Jamaica, Queens; sessions for Brooklyn residents run by video.
What is the therapy copay on a Highmark WNY plan?
The 2025 Western New York brochure prices an outpatient mental health visit at the same copay as a primary-care visit, ranging from $0 to $75 depending on the plan, with no cap on the number of therapy visits. Those are the plan documents' figures. We confirm what your specific plan charges before you start.
Do I need a referral to start?
No. These plans let you book therapy directly, no referral required. Request a time, we verify your benefits, and you start. It is often the simplest piece of an otherwise complicated move.
