KOKORO WELLNESS WELCOMES YOU

Kokoro Wellness started from the idea that therapy has the potential to be more effective when it goes beyond just talk therapy and should utilize the physical and meditative approaches that research has found to be effective in counteracting negative moods. For example, exercise has been found to be 1.5 times more effective at reducing mild-to-moderate symptoms of depression, psychological stress, and anxiety than psychotropic medication (Noetel et al., 2004). We believe that people should be able to benefit from the psychotherapeutic benefits of these interventions and in most cases, we are able to provide psychotherapy, personal training, and massage therapy services to the client completely free with most health insurance plans. We are currently in-network with the following insurance companies and we are continuing to expand the amount of insurance companies we are in-network with:

​​

• Aetna

• BlueCross and BlueShield

• Carelon

• Cigna and Evernorth

• Emblem/GHI

• Empire BlueCross BlueShield

• EmedNY

• HealthFirst

• Humana

• Optum

• Oxford

• UnitedHealthcare
