Alyssa Mairanz

LMHC

Hi there! My name is Alyssa Mairanz and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based out of New York City, New York. While we all have differing definitions, empowerment to me is finding the belief and confidence in yourself to reach your full potential. It’s about shifting your mindset to one of inner strength and taking control of your own destiny. You ca find it all within yourself!

My Philosophy when it comes to this is that are all more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. Learning to trust ourselves and our capabilities is extremely powerful. Audrey Hepburn famously said, “Dream big, nothing is impossible the word itself says ‘I’m Possible’!” This is a seemingly inconsequential mind-state that proves to have dramatic and life-changes effects.

Together, we will collaborate to help you reach your goals. Our sessions will be a place for you to vent so that you are not bottling things up inside, in an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. It will be a space for you to reflect and share any updates related to your life situation, thought process/mindset, and goals. We will use that information, unique to each person, to create a plan that is concrete, actionable, and manageable. A plan that is specially curated for you, your goals, and your individual ambitions. The overall goal is for you to learn skills to help you manage your emotions, take control of your behaviors, and shift your mindset into one that is better suited for you. This is all with the simple goal of helping you to build a life you love.

Our tagline is think different, worry less, feel better. That captures the essence of therapy. What we work on will help you get there and that is the key to living the satisfied, meaningful, happy life you are searching for.

FAQs

What can Nirvana do for me?

We handle your mental health insurance electronically and file your claims for free. We also track the status of your claims and ensure they are processed correctly so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or making frustrating phone calls.

How does Nirvana’s mental health billing service work?

We work with your therapist to obtain all the information needed to file your claims. Then we file them electronically each week.

What do I need to do for Nirvana’s service to work for me?

You only need to make sure we have your  most updated insurance information. You don’t need to do anything else!

Can I check how much I will be reimbursed for therapy?

Nirvana has a free tool called the Peace of Mind Coverage Calculator, which estimates your reimbursement amount at the start of the calendar year, when your deductible has been met, and when your out-of-pocket maximum has been reached. You only need to enter the name of the therapist you’d like to see, along with your name, date of birth, and insurance information.

Once I start therapy, when will I be reimbursed?

Once you have met your deductible, your reimbursement will be mailed to you about 4-6 weeks from the date of your first eligible claim. In some cases, this process can take as long as 90 days.

Where will my reimbursement be sent?

Your reimbursement will be mailed to the address on file with your therapist and your insurer. We recommend verifying your address directly with your insurer.

How will I receive my reimbursement?

You will receive your reimbursement by check. Some insurers combine payments for multiple sessions and others send one check per session.

Can I track the progress of my claims as you process them?

Yes! We offer a free product called the Client Portal, which allows you to do exactly that. You may be invited by your therapist, but you can independently register here. With the client portal, you can view the exact status of your claims and reimbursements.

I have a general question. Can I contact you?

We’re glad to answer any questions you have. Email us at help@meetnirvana.com and someone from our Help Desk will reach out to you.
