Practical,
Whole Person Psychotherapy

Reframed Mental Health uses a highly interactive, explorative and practical approach. There is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to therapy. If you are looking for a weekly session to lie on a couch and unload your thoughts where your therapist's primary interaction is asking "How does that make you feel?" this isn't likely to be the right fit.

We want to get to know you - the whole person - and tailor your therapy based on what will help you achieve your goals.

Move past surviving into thriving

Therapy in
Midtown Manhattan

Reframed Mental Health is at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, a little north of Rockefeller Center at 55th & 6th. We see clients in person at the office and online anywhere in New York State. Every therapist on our team works a hybrid schedule, with some days in the office and some virtual-only days, so we can find a time and format that fits your week.

Who you'll work with

Edwin Depner, LMHC-D, is our founder and Principal Psychotherapist. He has been seeing clients since 2020 and opened Reframed Mental Health in 2023. Our team has worked with more than 600 clients. Our therapists are at different stages of their careers, and every one of them is authorized to provide therapy in New York State. You can read about each therapist's background and specialties on Meet the Team.

How getting started works

Your first step is a free consultation with our intake team. We cover the logistics first (scheduling, insurance, format) because it's almost always the details that end up being the dealbreaker, and we'd rather settle those before you invest emotional energy with a therapist. That way your first session can be about connection, not logistics.

Depending on the therapist, we can often book your first session the same week.

Insurance and private pay

We're in network with 1199 SEIU, Aetna, Cigna, Curative, First Health, Medicaid, Meritain Health, NYC Employee PPO, Optum, Oscar, Oxford and UnitedHealthcare.

Sessions are 55 minutes. Private pay rates are $125 for an individual session and $175 for a couples session.

Book a free consultation or call us at (212) 675-8255.

Explorative

We are feeling creatures before thinking creatures, so exploring is essential. We create a psychologically safe environment where we can
ask tough questions, be wrong,
and still keep exploring.

Whole Person

Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum, so therapy shouldn't either. The treatment plan we develop together will consider your community, beliefs, and body in addition to your mind.

Trauma Informed

Identifying the widespread impact of trauma allows us to not only avoid re-traumatization, but take control of the narrative, use treatments that are more effective for trauma than talk therapy and break the cycle.

Whole Person
Model of Care

The Whole Person model of care is rooted in integrative medicine. Dr. George Engel was a doctor of both internal medicine and a psychiatrist and in 1977 he developed the Biopsychosocial model for clinical care. The essence of the model is that it ensures that you take your whole self into account, your biology, your psychology, and your social framework (community).

As humans we like to be able to draw a straight line from one cause to one effect, but life more closely resembles a web where every factor is interconnected which is what Dr. Engel's Biopsychosocial model sought to address. The Whole Person model of care is built off the framework of Engel's Biopsychosocial model.

The Whole Person model of care isn't a therapeutic treatment but is instead an approach to treatment that considers all aspects of the whole person when developing a treatment plan, together.

Whole Person Care
is rooted in 7 Pillars

Self-Awareness
Creating Trust
Cultivating Curiosity
Recognizing Bias
Educating the Emotions
Using Informed Intuition
Using Evidence to Foster Understanding

Trauma Informed

Similar to the Whole Person approach, Trauma Informed care is an approach to treatment that recognizes the widespread impact and signs of trauma, resists re-traumatization and uses treatments that access the area of your brain where trauma responses originate.

While the principles of Trauma Informed Care are technically present in the Whole Person Model of Care, experiencing trauma is still overwhelmingly stigmatized despite being uncomfortably common. Stigma has been proven to lead to poorer outcomes, both mentally and physically, so identifying the trauma, and the widespread impact it has, allows us to not only avoid re-traumatization, but also take control of the narrative and break the cycle.
