How We Coordinate Care

Psychology Partners Group is a multi-specialty practice. Therapists, evaluators, art therapists, and group facilitators work within the same practice, in Chappaqua and Hartsdale and online across New York State. With your consent, the clinicians involved in your care share what they learn so that your care fits together.

Why PPG Is One Practice

When Dr. Emily Bly founded PPG in 2016, she had seen the gap between providers in solo practice. If she was working with an adult who needed couples therapy, she referred the person to another clinician. If a couple had a child who needed support, she shared the name of a clinician she did not know well. Clinicians often worked in different ways and had little time to coordinate.

PPG was created so that people who need more than one kind of care can find it in one place. When you see more than one provider here, they are part of the same team and are able to talk with one another.

How Coordination Works

Weekly Clinical Team Meetings

Our clinicians meet each week to discuss cases and consult across specialties, so that your clinician can draw on the expertise of colleagues.

Consultation Across Specialties

When an evaluator and a therapist are both involved, with your consent they can share findings so that treatment builds on what the evaluation shows.

Coordination With Schools

Clinicians working with a child coordinate with school psychology staff where appropriate and necessary. We also attend IEP meetings when requested or indicated.

Coordination With Outside Providers

With your consent, we coordinate with other providers involved in your care, such as a pediatrician or a psychiatric prescriber.

A Coordinated Practice Team

An intake coordinator, a practice coordinator, and a billing coordinator support your care, and billing runs through one process.

Care for the Whole Family

When more than one family member is in care here, each person has their own clinician, and the clinicians can coordinate with consent.

When Coordination Matters Most

Coordination is especially helpful in situations like these:

  • A child whose anxiety shows up at school, at home, and in activities, and who benefits from a therapist, parent guidance, and communication with the school.
  • A young adult who has just received an ADHD or autism diagnosis from an evaluation and would like therapy that takes the diagnosis into account.
  • A family in eating disorder treatment, where the adolescent has individual care, the parents have their own support, and siblings are affected too.
  • A couple in couples therapy, where one or both partners are also in individual therapy that touches on related concerns.

FAQ

Common questions

What does coordinated care mean at PPG?

It means the clinicians involved in your care share what they learn, with your consent, so that your care fits together. Our clinicians meet weekly to discuss cases, and they consult across specialties, including therapy, testing, art therapy, and groups.

Do my clinicians share information about me?

Only with your consent, and only about what supports your care. Each person in care has their own confidentiality, and information is not shared with another clinician or an outside provider without your consent, except where the law requires otherwise.

Do you work with schools?

Yes. Clinicians working with a child coordinate with school psychology staff where appropriate and necessary, with parent consent.

Will you attend an IEP meeting?

Yes, when requested or indicated. Let your clinician know that a meeting is coming up, and they can talk with you about how to prepare and what would be helpful to share.

Can you coordinate with my doctor or other outside providers?

Yes. With your consent, we coordinate with other providers involved in your care, such as a pediatrician or a psychiatric prescriber.

What if more than one person in my family is in care here?

Each person has their own clinician, and the clinicians can coordinate with consent. This can help when, for example, a teen is in individual therapy and the parents are receiving guidance.

Do I need to ask for coordination?

You can raise it at any time. Your clinician will talk with you about who you would like included and ask for your consent before sharing information.

How do I get started?

Schedule a free consultation. We will talk briefly about what you are looking for and match you with a clinician or combination of clinicians whose training fits your needs.

What if I am in crisis or having a medical emergency?

PPG provides outpatient care and is not an emergency service. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, at any time. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
