What Can I Expect during my First session?

The first session takes approximately 1-1/2 hours. This phase of treatment is known as the intake assessment phase. During this time, I will be gathering a social history and asking a lot of questions to learn your strengths, world views, and overall treatment goals. 

​

How often will we meet?

Sessions can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly for 45 minutes. Both in-person and HIPPA compliant telehealth sessions are available.  The length of treatment typically depends on when your treatment goals are met.  For some this can be 3 months, 6 months or 1-2 years. 

​

Do you take insurance?

I am paneled with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey.  If you have a participating plan, I will bill your insurance following each session.  You would be responsible for any co-payments, co-insurance, or balance towards your deductible.

​

What if I do not have Blue Cross Blue Shield?

You may pay out-of-pocket for therapy.  Sliding scale is available. I can provide you with a receipt if you would like to submit to your insurance carrier.  Reimbursement is not guaranteed.
