Care and Support in LA, Online or In Person

Q: Do I need to know the exact specialty I want before starting therapy?

No, you don’t need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out. Our team can help match you with a therapist who’s the right fit for your goals and concerns.

Q: What if I don’t see the specialty I’m looking for?

Even if the exact specialty isn’t listed, we may still be able to help. Reach out to us, and we’ll connect you with a therapist who can support your needs or refer you to trusted providers.

Q: Can I switch specialties or therapists if my needs change?

Yes. Therapy is a flexible process, and you’re not locked into one specialty or provider. If your needs evolve, we’ll work with you to adjust your care and ensure you feel supported.

Q: Do you accept insurance?

We accept most insurance plans that offer out-of-network benefits. Our office manager will check your benefits and provide a custom quote. We are only able to submit claims to primary insurance plans.

Q: Do you offer therapy outside NYC and LA?

Yes, we provide online therapy services across New York State and California.

In Los Angeles, you can meet with us in our welcoming Larchmont Village office or connect online from anywhere in California. Our therapists offer affirming, inclusive care to help you feel supported and understood.

Featured Article: 9 Ways Expansive Makes Therapy Easier and Better for You

We founded Expansive Therapy with two missions. One was to provide truly affirming, high quality therapy to the LGBTQ+ population. The other was to solve the logistical problems that keep so many people from starting or staying in therapy. We wanted to take care of the burdensome details of the therapy process so that our clients could focus on the therapy itself.

8 years later, we’re still working hard to accomplish those missions and we’re proud of how far we’ve come. Here are 9 ways that we make therapy easier and better for our clients.
