EVOLVE Integrative Psychotherapy

What EVOLVE Integrative Psychotherapy does

EVOLVE Integrative Psychotherapy is a privately held, founder-owned group psychotherapy practice organized as a PLLC in New York State, founded in 2023 by Kristina Aran, LMHC, NCC, who serves as Founder and Clinical Director. The practice delivers individual, couples/marriage, family, and group psychotherapy from two New York City offices (1178 Broadway and 136 Madison Avenue) and via tele-therapy across six additional states (New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania). Its clinical model is explicitly integrative: rather than anchoring on a single modality, EVOLVE matches each client to one or more of fifteen-plus evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Narrative Therapy, and attachment-based work.

The practice differentiates through specialty niches layered on top of generalist mental health: trauma (multiple CCTP-certified clinicians), couples/sex therapy, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, neurodivergent-affirmative care (ADHD, autism), addictions-informed counseling, ecotherapy/nature-based work, and — distinctively — financial therapy delivered by a Certified Financial Therapist (Fatima Lundy), plus an in-house integrative nutritionist and health coach (Jamie Kaplan). The team consists of 20+ therapists and support staff (licensed mental health counselors, licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed clinical social workers, intake counselors, and a care coordinator) with credentials from NYU, Fordham, Marist, Yale, Binghamton, and other programs.

Commercially, EVOLVE bills primarily through in-network insurance panels (Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Oxford, Oscar, UMR, Emblem Health) and EAP programs, with clients paying standard copays/deductibles rather than full-fee rates. Discovery and acquisition run through an active mental-health blog, listings on Alma, Headway, and Psychology Today, organic search/SEO, and a free consultation call that converts prospects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; a free consultation is the entry point, and group therapy cohorts are scheduled to launch in 2026 as a new service line. There is no external institutional capital, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs is a multi-modality group therapy practice operating across multiple states with in-person and tele-therapy delivery. Closely comparable to EVOLVE in model (licensed therapist teams, evidence-based modalities, insurance participation, multi-state reach).
• Ellie Mental Health: Ellie Mental Health is a multi-site outpatient mental health group practice offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy across many U.S. states. Comparable to EVOLVE in being an in-network, multi-modality group therapy practice operating across a national footprint.
• Modern Therapy: Modern Therapy is a New York-based outpatient psychotherapy group practice with multiple locations and a tele-therapy offering. Directly comparable to EVOLVE as a metro-focused, multi-modality, insurance-accepting group practice with a similar clinical staffing model.
• Octave: Octave is a multi-state group therapy practice operating its own clinics and offering tele-therapy with insurance participation. Closely comparable to EVOLVE in modality breadth, insurance-driven distribution, and multi-state service model.

Broad incumbents

• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest tele-therapy platform, delivering individual therapy via video/chat/messaging at scale. Comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same end-user demand for outpatient mental health support, though its model is platform-based rather than practice-based.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is a tele-therapy and psychiatry platform with insurance participation and employer-sponsored contracts. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same insured therapy market, including via EAP channels that EVOLVE also accepts.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is an enterprise mental health benefits platform providing therapy and coaching to employees of large companies. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same employer-sponsored and insurance-covered therapy demand that EVOLVE reaches through EAP and commercial panels.
• Alma: Alma is a therapist marketplace and insurance-billing platform that EVOLVE already uses as a distribution channel. It is comparable as a broad incumbent serving the same end clients (people seeking in-network therapy) and competing for the same therapist talent pool.
• Cerebral: Cerebral is a tele-mental health platform combining therapy and medication management. Comparable as a broad incumbent addressing anxiety, depression, and ADHD — overlapping directly with EVOLVE's stated specializations.
• Headway: Headway is an insurance-acceptance and discovery platform for mental health providers, also used by EVOLVE. Comparable as an incumbent competitor operating in the same insurance-based therapy market with similar marketplace dynamics.
