Thompson Counseling Services Expands Access to Therapy in New Paltz, NY
Practice strengthens in person and virtual mental health services across New York
Thompson Counseling Services, a New Paltz based group therapy practice, is continuing to expand access to therapy in New Paltz and throughout New York State. With three active office locations in New Paltz, including its primary location at 83 S Chestnut St, the practice provides in person counseling locally and virtual therapy to clients statewide.
The continued growth reflects increasing demand for accessible mental health services in the Hudson Valley and beyond. Thompson Counseling Services works with adolescents, young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions. By maintaining multiple physical offices while strengthening telehealth availability, the practice aims to make therapy more flexible and easier to access.
Responding to Community Needs
Mental health providers across New York have seen a steady rise in individuals seeking support. Thompson Counseling Services has responded by expanding its team of licensed therapists and offering a range of appointment options, including daytime and evening sessions.
“Our focus is on creating a space where clients feel supported and understood from the very first conversation,” said Melissa Thompson, LCSW, founder of Thompson Counseling Services. “By offering both in person therapy in New Paltz and virtual sessions across New York, we are able to meet clients where they are and reduce common barriers to care.”
The practice offers individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy, child therapy, adolescent therapy and group therapy. Clinicians collaborate closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans designed to address emotional challenges and support long term growth. Services are available in office and through secure telehealth platforms.
Improving Affordability Through Insurance Participation
In addition to offering flexible scheduling and virtual therapy options, Thompson Counseling Services participates with a wide range of insurance providers to help make care more accessible. The practice accepts many major plans, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, MVP, Fidelis, Medicare, NYSHIP and several Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
The team encourages prospective clients to verify their individual mental health benefits directly with their insurance provider, as coverage details may vary by plan.
Balancing Local Presence and Statewide Access
While rooted in the New Paltz community, Thompson Counseling Services has also strengthened its virtual infrastructure to serve clients throughout New York. This hybrid model allows individuals who may face transportation, scheduling or geographic limitations to access licensed therapists without leaving their homes.
“We understand that accessibility plays a major role in whether someone seeks help,” Thompson said. “Our goal is to make therapy feel approachable, practical and aligned with each client’s needs.”
By maintaining its three New Paltz locations and expanding virtual therapy services, the practice continues to position itself as a reliable mental health resource for both the local community and clients across the state.
