Why MindView
Most therapy in Buffalo has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Most practices in Buffalo deliver whatever approach the therapist you happened to get was trained in. We run one format for every client, and we measure it.
- 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.

Therapy in Buffalo, in short
MindView Therapy is a CBT-focused practice in downtown Buffalo, serving adults 18 and older. We are in-network with UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, Oscar Health, Meritain Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Optum, Highmark BCBS WNY, Univera Healthcare and MagnaCare. We are accepting new clients, and sessions are conducted by telehealth.
Our Buffalo office is on Washington Street downtown, one block east of Main Street and a short walk from Lafayette Square. We treat anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, and relationship strain using cognitive behavioral therapy, and we review your progress with standardized measures every month. Sessions are available in the office or by secure video anywhere in New York State.
Who do you help in Buffalo?
MindView Therapy works with adults 18 and older across Western New York. Our office is on Washington Street in downtown Buffalo, and clients come to us from Elmwood Village, Allentown, North Buffalo, the West Side, Amherst, Cheektowaga, and Tonawanda.
People come in for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, grief, and relationship strain. Some are managing a demanding job. Some are dealing with something that happened years ago and never got dealt with. You do not need a diagnosis or a tidy explanation to start.
We also see couples and families. If you are unsure whether therapy is the right step, that is a reasonable thing to work out in a first session.
What does therapy here involve?
Therapy at MindView follows a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
Your first session is an intake. Your therapist asks what brought you in and what you want to be different. The work then opens out into the rest of your history, nothing in it compulsory, and settles into a written treatment plan built jointly, in plain language, with a personal goal included.
After that, sessions are weekly. Once a month you complete standardized measures and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If the plan is not working, the plan changes. Progress is measured, not assumed.
Our work is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy. It is practical and structured. You leave with something to practice between sessions, not just something to consider. MindView is telehealth only, so every session runs online by secure video, including here in Buffalo where the practice is based.
What does the Buffalo office take for insurance?
In New York we are in-network with UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, Oscar Health, Meritain Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Optum, Highmark BCBS WNY, Univera Healthcare and MagnaCare.
In-network means you pay your plan’s copay or coinsurance rather than the full session fee. Some plans apply a deductible first. We check your plan before your first session and tell you what you will pay.
If your plan is not on that list, tell us and we will be straight with you about the options.
How do I get started?
Book a session online. It takes about 30 seconds. You do not need to explain your situation in a form.
We verify your insurance, confirm the cost, and get you scheduled. If you would rather speak to a person first, call (646) 493-4007 or email info@mindviewtherapy.com.
You can meet at the downtown office or by secure video anywhere in New York. You can also read about your therapist before you book. We are accepting new clients and respond within one business day.
Other places we serve in New York
Buffalo is one of our two New York offices. The other is in Jamaica, Queens. Everywhere else in the state is telehealth, because a New York license covers New York, not a single county.
Around Western New York that means Niagara Falls, North Tonawanda and Jamestown are all served from here. Further east we work with clients in Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Binghamton and the Capital Region, and downstate through the Hudson Valley, Westchester and Long Island.
There is no MindView office in any of those cities. The clinicians, the treatment plan, the monthly measurement reviews and the in-network billing are the same either way.

What does therapy here actually look like?
The first three sessions follow a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
- The first meeting
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.
- The wider picture
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.
- Building the plan
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.
