Empire Tele-Psychotherapy is an online therapy practice founded by a social worker with decades of experience in the mental health field in New York State who graduated from Adelphi University.

Concerned by the growth of unregulated and unlicensed mental health websites and apps, the owner embarked on the journey of creating an online therapy practice that combines the technology of competitors apps while maintaining the standards of care and principles of social work. Together with technological, marketing and financial partners the founder has developed Therapized, an all in one platform for therapists and patients. Our aim is to provide high quality mental health care at an affordable rate to promote access to treatment across the state while simultaneously providing therapists with an easy to use platform and opportunity to practice online care.

Therapists love Therapized because they are compensated fairly, it allows them to work independently with their patients and the platform promotes the maintaining of professional clinical practices. Because of the benefits we provide to our therapists we have a lower turnover rate than other online therapy options which means for patients they don't have to worry about losing their therapist.

Our platform differs from other options available in many ways. We are a real licensed therapy practice, licensed under a social work degree and registered with the New York State Education Department. We are also fully insured as a therapy practice providing additional coverage for both patients and therapists. We keep it simple and stick to evidence based approaches to providing therapy which is why we offer video and audio sessions and do not offer instant chat sessions with patients. We also offer simple to use payment structures for our patients. Patients pay for what they use and are not tied and confined to monthly subscriptions, giving our patients the flexibility to schedule the care they need. With the average cost of therapy in NYC of $200 per appointment our platform provides the opportunity for more people to get the therapy and support they need. Our goal is to keep things simple, easy to use and fair for all. Working together as New Yorkers we can improve the mental health of our state.
