What is the cost per session?

Footprints is in-network with multiple insurance plans, so most clients pay only a small co-pay. For those paying out of pocket: Individual $95, Couples/Family Therapy $125, Group $125.

How do I start seeing a therapist?

The first step is calling in to complete an intake form with one of our coordinators, either over the phone or by email. Once the intake form is completed, we send documents to fill out through our client portal. You'll be paired with a provider once that is completed.

I signed up, how long will it take to be matched with a therapist?

After your intake is completed and your documents are submitted through our secured client portal, it typically takes 1-2 weeks to be paired with a provider, based on your availability and preferences.

How long is the intake process?

The intake process takes about 5 minutes to complete. For couples or family therapy, it can take up to 10-15 minutes.

Am I allowed to switch to another therapist?

Yes. We recommend trying your paired provider for at least 3 sessions, since the first is intake and the next two are for getting to know each other. If it isn't a mutual fit after 3 sessions, you'll be reassigned, which can take 1-2 weeks based on availability and preferences.

When will in-person sessions be offered?

In-person sessions are offered at our location at 3249 Kingsbridge Ave, Bronx, NY, 10463.

Culturally Affirming Counseling - Footprints Mental Health Counseling

Compassionate Mental Health Counseling & Therapy — Serving Nationwide

Therapy That Honors Your Culture and Your Story

Your background, language, and lived experience shape how you see the world and your therapy should reflect that. Our culturally affirming therapists meet you with genuine understanding, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What Is Culturally Affirming Counseling?

Culturally affirming counseling recognizes that culture, heritage, and identity shape mental health and healing. Our therapists bring cultural humility and, often, shared language and lived experience, so care feels relevant and respectful rather than generic.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what clients ask us most about culturally affirming care.

Can I have sessions in Spanish?

Yes, several of our therapists are fully bilingual and offer sessions entirely in Spanish, English, or a mix of both.

Will my therapist understand my cultural background?

Our culturally affirming therapists bring both training and, often, personal experience with diverse cultural backgrounds, so you don’t have to over-explain your context.

Is this different from regular therapy?

The techniques are similar, but the approach centers your cultural context and values as part of understanding and supporting you.
