Ally Nektalov
LCSW, Master CASAC
Director & Founder
“No one should have to choose between care and cost.”
Before she directed mental health services for organizations across New York City and New York State, Ally Nektalov was the person calling names off an insurance directory and hearing what everyone hears: not taking new clients, out of network, try back in a few months. She has been on both ends of that phone call. Mind Therapy exists because of it.
- Patient focused: the practice is built on “providing quality, affordable and flexible care.”
- Quality care focused: Director of mental health services for organizations in NYC and across New York State, and Adjunct Professor at NYU and Touro College.
- “Care that people cannot afford is not good care, whatever else is true of it.” In-network on purpose; benefits verified before the first session; most clients pay only their copay.
