Psychotherapy for Adults, Adolescents & Children
Northern New Jersey Therapy
Free 30 Minute Consultation
I offer a free 30 minute consultation over the telephone to help you decide if you would like to begin this life changing work together. I realize that a relationship with the therapist is the most significant part of this process.
Established Clients ~ Counseling Services
Counseling services are provided in 45-minute therapy sessions, usually provided once-weekly in my private office. Day, Evening, and Saturday hours are available. I offer both individual and couples / martial or family psychotherapy, and can also provide parenting consultation or counseling directly to children or adolescents.
Therapy Rates & Policy
Time in session recently was reduced by the AMA to 40-45 minutes.
Insurance
I do not participate directly in any insurance plans but am eligible for reimbursement as an “Out-of-Network” provider. Many of my clients use their insurance to help them pay for their sessions with me. Insurance companies offer different levels of coverage based on your particular plan. Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Reduced Fee/Sliding Scale
Reduced fee for services are available on a limited basis and agreed to at time services initiate. A sliding fee scale may be extended to current patients if you can show financial hardship.
Payment
Payment is expected at time of service by check or cash unless other arrangements have been mutually agreed upon.
