Meet Kristie Tse, LMHC-D
I’m Kristie Tse, a licensed mental health counselor, and I founded Uncover Mental Health Counseling specifically for high-achieving adults who couldn’t find a therapist who understood both the performance pressure and the cultural dimensions of their lives.
At Uncover Mental Health Counseling, every session is by video with a licensed New York therapist, so you can show up from your couch, your desk, or any quiet spot for 45 minutes.
We know how it goes here your calendar is packed, the commute eats your evening, and therapy keeps sliding to “next month.” Online therapy takes the commute out. For most people, that’s the difference between starting and not starting.
We’re out-of-network, which means you pay at the session and we give you a superbill to send to your insurance. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, you may get part of the cost back, and we’ll check your benefits for you. The first step is a free 15-minute call

Virtual Trauma Therapy for High Achievers in New York
You can be capable, respected and successful, and still be carrying something from the past that has never settled. For many high-achieving New Yorkers, trauma does not look like a crisis. It looks like a packed calendar, a high bar for yourself, and a body that never fully relaxes.
At Uncover Mental Health Counseling, trauma therapy is led by Kristie Tse, LMHC-D, a New York State licensed mental health counselor (License #009672) with more than 10 years of clinical experience. She works with high-achieving professionals and students across New York State whose trauma rarely looks like crisis from the outside.
Sessions are private, secure and online, so you can begin from home anywhere in New York State

Evidence-Based Therapy for Lasting Change
Our therapists in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island use approaches that actually work — stuff backed by research, not just theory.
We pick methods that fit your life, not the other way around. For high-achieving professionals, that means practical tools you can actually use, in real situations, to feel better and make real changes.
Trauma Therapy NYC: Frequently Asked Questions
What type of therapist is best for trauma?
A licensed therapist with specific training in trauma. Look for someone who uses evidence-based methods such as CBT-based approaches or Prolonged Exposure, works at your pace, and explains their approach in the first conversation. At Uncover, trauma therapy is led by Kristie Tse, LMHC-D, who has more than 10 years of clinical experience.
How do I know if I need trauma therapy?
Consider it when fear, anger, shame, numbness or anxiety does not ease, or when it affects your sleep, relationships, work or sense of safety.
How long does trauma therapy take?
It varies. The length depends on your history, your goals and how often we meet. Some people work on a specific event for a few months, and others work on longer-standing patterns over more time. We review progress regularly and agree on the pace together.
How much does trauma therapy cost in NYC?
At Uncover, the first session starts at $350 and later sessions at $300, depending on your therapist. Exact fees are shared during your consultation.
Do you accept insurance?
We are out-of-network. We can provide a superbill so you can submit it for reimbursement, depending on your plan's out-of-network benefits.
Is virtual trauma therapy effective?
For many people, yes. Research on telehealth for PTSD and other conditions has found outcomes comparable to in-person care for many people. Virtual sessions also make it easier to stay consistent. If something about online sessions would not feel safe for you, tell us in the consultation
How does trauma affect high achievers?
It often hides behind success: constant stress, perfectionism, self-doubt and difficulty feeling satisfied even when things look fine from the outside. It can also make relationships harder
