New York State Senate
Mental Health Services
Welcome to Allied Wellness Collective, providing mental health counseling services for New York State Senate employees and family members.
Senate
No Copay for Up to Ten Counseling Sessions
As a NYS Senate employee or family member, you are eligible for employer sponsored counseling services, for up to ten sessions. If you have a NYS Senate provided insurance plan, your co-pay will be covered by your employer for the first ten sessions. If you do not have a NYS Senate provided insurance plan, your employer will cover your first ten sessions in full.
What Happens After My Covered Sessions?
After your first ten sessions, you will have the option to continue services with your counselor, utilizing any insurance plan you may have available; you will be responsible for any co-pay or co-insurance for that plan; or you may choose to pay for services out of pocket, at which time the fee for services will be discussed with a member of our team.

Crisis & Traumatic Event Intervention Services
As a need for crisis intervention arises, Allied Wellness Collective will compile a crisis intervention team that consists of service providers who have expertise in the area most relevant to the incident. AWC has the ability to customize each response team to meet the needs of the incident. Further, any workforce member will have access to individual or family counseling services following a crisis incident. If you believe there is a need for Crisis & Event Intervention Services, please contact your supervisor or the Senate Office of Personnel.
PLEASE NOTE: Telehealth & Teletherapy services are often not sufficient in the event of a crisis or emergency, as these services may not provide adequate assistance in these instances. If you are in crisis or someone you know is a threat to themselves or someone else, you should call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 (where you can receive 24/7 support), contact local crisis services, call 911, or visit your nearest emergency room.
