If you searched for a Medicare therapist in Queens, here is the short version. We accept Medicare, we are accepting new clients, and you can book online in about two minutes. Therapists who take Medicare near you are genuinely scarce, and we are one of them. Sessions are available at our Jamaica office and by telehealth in New York.
Does MindView take Medicare in Queens?
Yes. MindView Therapy accepts Medicare at our Jamaica office, and for telehealth in New York.
Medicare Part B is the part that covers outpatient mental health care. That includes individual psychotherapy with an eligible Medicare provider, along with an annual depression screening. Inpatient psychiatric care falls under Part A, which is not what we do.
What will I actually pay?
Under Part B you are generally responsible for the annual deductible first, and then a share of the Medicare-approved amount for each session. Medicare sets both of those figures, and they are adjusted each year.
We are not going to print a number here, because the number changes and because your situation may not match the standard one. Many people carry a supplemental or Medigap plan that picks up part or all of the Part B share, which changes what you actually pay out of pocket.
We confirm your coverage and your cost share before your first session. If you have a supplemental plan, bring that card too.
What does Medicare not cover?
This is where we would rather be blunt than optimistic.
Medicare does not cover couples or family therapy for relationship problems on their own. Family sessions are covered only when the main purpose is to treat the Medicare beneficiary’s own condition, for example bringing a spouse into treatment because it supports the beneficiary’s care. If what you are looking for is marriage counseling, Medicare is generally not the payer for it, and we will say so before you book rather than after a claim is denied.
Coverage also depends on the provider being eligible to bill Medicare. Not every clinician in every practice is. We confirm the fit when you contact us.
Is Medicare Advantage the same as Medicare?
No, and the difference matters. Medicare Advantage plans are run by private insurers. They have their own networks, their own prior authorization rules, and their own copays, and they do not all behave like Original Medicare.
If your card was issued by a private insurance company rather than being the red, white, and blue Medicare card, you have Medicare Advantage. Tell us which one you carry and we verify the right one.
Where is the Queens office, and what does therapy here involve?
Our Queens office is at 89-14 Parsons Boulevard, Suite 24, 5th Floor, Jamaica, NY 11432, serving Jamaica, Hillcrest, Briarwood, Kew Gardens, Fresh Meadows, Jamaica Estates, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Telehealth is available in New York. Call (646) 493-4007 if you would rather ask a question before booking.
Every client follows the same clear structure. The first session is an intake, where your therapist asks what brought you in and what you want to change. The second is a psychosocial assessment, a fuller picture of your history. The third is where you and your therapist build your treatment plan together.
From there, sessions are weekly. Once a month you complete standardized measures, such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If something is not working, the plan changes. Therapy here is measured, not guessed.

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.
- Session 1: Intake
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.
- Session 2: Psychosocial
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.
- Session 3: Treatment 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 Psycho-Measurement-Based Care Review (PMBCR). You complete standardized measures, such as the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, 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.
