Referral Partnerships
If you have a client who needs a level of specialization your practice doesn’t offer, here’s what you need to know first.
Uncover Mental Health Counseling is a fully virtual, private-pay practice licensed across New York State, led by Kristie Tse, LMHC-D. We specialize in anxiety (including OCD and ERP), trauma, ADHD, self-esteem, stress and burnout, and relationship work, with particular clinical depth in high-achieving adults, Asian American clients, LGBTQ+ individuals, and first-generation Americans.
If a client’s needs match that profile, we’re a strong referral fit. If you’re not sure, a quick consultation with our team will help
Who We're the Right Referral For:
Anxiety, including OCD and ERP
A client whose anxiety isn't resolving with general talk therapy, or who needs Exposure and Response Prevention specifically, is a strong fit.
Trauma
Including complex or developmental trauma that needs trauma-informed, not just supportive, treatment. → Trauma Therapy
ADHD
Particularly in adults, and particularly when it's been missed or misattributed to anxiety or burnout. → ADHD Therapy
Self-esteem and identity work
Including clients whose sense of worth is entangled with professional achievement. → Self-Esteem Therapy
Stress, burnout, and high-achiever presentations
The client who is functioning well externally and struggling privately. → Stress Therapy
Relationship and couples work
Including LGBTQ+ couples, young couples, and relationship patterns tied to family of origin. → Relationship Therapy
Clinical Approach and Credentials
Uncover is led by Kristie Tse, LMHC-D (NY License #009672), and our clinicians are trained in evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD specifically. Full clinical team and training →
What Referring Therapists Should Know Before Sending a Client
- Private pay, out-of-network. Uncover does not bill insurance directly. We provide superbills for clients to seek out-of-network reimbursement. If your client requires in-network coverage, we’re not the right fit, worth knowing before the referral, not after.
- Fully virtual, licensed across New York State. We see clients anywhere in NY State by telehealth. We cannot see clients located outside New York State for ongoing care, though we can work with clients who travel or relocate temporarily within the state.
- Sessions are 50 minutes, typically weekly, at a cadence adjusted to clinical need.
How the Referral Partnership Works
- Initial consultation. We get to know your practice, your specialties, and the kinds of clients you’re likely to refer, so future referrals are well-matched from the start.
- Mutual alignment check. We confirm our clinical approach and values are a genuine fit for your practice before formalizing anything.
- Referral coordination. When you have a client who fits, you reach out with the relevant details and we handle the intake and transition directly.
- Continuity of care. We stay in communication with you throughout, and with the client’s consent, can refer back to you for continued care after their work with us concludes.
- Ongoing collaboration. Referral partners are invited into collaborative events, workshops, and networking opportunities with our clinical team.
We accept applications on a rolling basis. Start a Referral Partnership Consultation →
