Psychiatrists and Therapists Accepting 1199SEIU in Brooklyn
Good Health Psychiatric Services accepts 1199SEIU Benefit Fund plans, so union members and their families can use their benefits for psychiatric and therapy care in Brooklyn and by telehealth. The 1199SEIU Benefit Fund covers healthcare workers in hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, and clinics, and its mental health benefit includes outpatient psychiatry and talk therapy. Your 1199SEIU mental health coverage at Good Health applies to psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual therapy, and treatment for depression that has not improved with medication.
If you work in healthcare, you spend your days caring for others, and getting care yourself can feel harder to arrange. Our board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists offer appointments at our Downtown Brooklyn office and by telehealth, with same-day and next-day openings and evening hours until 7 pm on weekdays.

Mental Health Services Covered by 1199SEIU at Good Health
Psychiatric Evaluation
Your care starts with a full psychiatric evaluation with a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Your clinician asks about your symptoms, history, and earlier treatment, including the effects of long shifts, night work, and job stress, and agrees on a treatment plan with you. The 1199SEIU Benefit Fund covers this evaluation as an outpatient mental health visit.
Medication Management with a Psychiatrist Who Takes 1199SEIU
If medication is part of your plan, a psychiatrist who takes 1199SEIU prescribes it and sees you for follow-ups to check how it is working, adjust the dose, and manage side effects. Your prescriber can plan dosing around rotating or overnight shifts. These 1199 covered psychiatry visits are billed directly to the Fund, and prescriptions are filled through your Fund's pharmacy benefit.
Therapy Covered by the 1199SEIU Benefit Fund
Good Health's therapists who take 1199SEIU include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), and psychologists. Therapy may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, or another evidence-based approach, which can help with burnout and work-related trauma as well as other concerns. The Fund covers outpatient talk therapy in person or by telehealth.
Does 1199SEIU Cover TMS Therapy?
TMS can be covered when it is medically necessary and approved in advance. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for major depressive disorder that has not responded to antidepressants. Treatment usually involves sessions five days a week for several weeks at our Brooklyn office. Good Health submits the clinical documentation and prior authorization request to the Benefit Fund before treatment begins.
Spravato (Esketamine) with 1199SEIU
Spravato is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression, or with major depressive disorder and active suicidal thoughts. It is given in our Brooklyn office, and a clinician monitors you through the full observation period after each dose. The Benefit Fund can cover Spravato when prior authorization and medical necessity requirements are met, and our team prepares and submits the request.
Coverage depends on your Benefit Fund and eligibility class. Good Health confirms your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.
