We are an out-of-network provider, which means we are not contracted with any insurance companies and do not bill insurance directly. However, we do provide superbills, which are detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify what your plan may cover for out-of-network services, as this can help determine the affordability of our care.

Please contact our office if you would like us to send you our information packet, which lists the insurance codes we use for billing.

We provide psychotherapy and a range of additional modalities for individuals aged 12 and older, including adults of all ages.

For neurofeedback services, we work with children as young as 8 years old. While we do offer counseling for some younger clients, this is on a case-by-case basis. We may refer children between the ages of 8 and 12 to a specialized provider if their needs extend beyond our scope. This referral policy also applies to clients over 12 who may require specific types of therapy that we do not offer.

Our priority is to ensure that each client receives the most effective care possible, which may include referrals to external specialists when necessary. 

We carefully consider multiple factors to match you with a clinician or other staff members to ensure the best possible therapeutic experience. These factors include:

• Clinician Specialties: We assess the clinician's expertise to ensure they are well-suited to address your specific concerns, whether it involves anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or other challenges.
• Fit with Client Age Groups: Some clinicians work best with certain age ranges (e.g., children, teens, adults), and we strive to align your needs with their experience.
• Schedule and Availability: We aim to match you with a clinician whose availability aligns with your schedule, minimizing disruptions and making it easier to attend sessions consistently.
• Budget Considerations: We understand that financial considerations are important, so we take your budget into account when recommending options, whether for therapy, counseling, or additional services.

We also recognize that the therapeutic alliance—the trust and connection between you and your clinician—is a key factor in successful treatment and healing. 

At our practice, every client’s care is overseen by a skilled clinician, regardless of who you interact with on a weekly basis. This approach ensures the highest level of care and allows us to provide tailored, effective treatment. Neurofeedback, in particular, is a complex therapeutic process that involves understanding not only what happens during sessions but also how clients respond afterward. Interpreting these responses requires clinical expertise to make informed adjustments that support meaningful progress.

Our clinicians have specialized training to monitor and interpret neurofeedback data, along with your subjective experience. This expertise is essential for identifying subtle changes, assessing progress, and modifying treatment protocols when necessary. Because no two clients respond to neurofeedback in exactly the same way, our team emphasizes an individualized approach.

Finding the right therapist is key to effective therapy. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful treatment. It’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist, can ask questions freely, and express any concerns that arise during your sessions.

Take the time to ask about your therapist’s background and experience, especially in treating the specific issues you’re facing. Most importantly, you should feel at ease with your therapist—comfortable enough to share openly and confident that your needs are being understood and respected.

At our practice, therapy is typically scheduled on a weekly basis, with each session lasting between 45 minutes to an hour. However, because we integrate multiple therapeutic approaches, the format and frequency of sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs. 

For example, if you're receiving both neurofeedback and traditional therapy, you may have one session per week with your therapist and an additional session with a neurofeedback technician. If Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is incorporated into your treatment, sessions may occasionally need to be longer.

More frequent sessions may be recommended in times of crisis or when you're navigating particularly challenging circumstances, and this can be discussed and agreed upon with your therapist. 

Therapy can be short-term and focused on resolving a specific issue or more long-term, allowing for a deeper exploration of complex concerns. Long-term therapy often fosters greater personal growth and more profound, lasting change.

With so many options available, navigating mental health treatment can feel overwhelming. Medications are commonly prescribed for conditions like depression and anxiety, and they can be effective in reducing symptoms. However, many people find the side effects, such as weight gain or reduced libido, difficult to manage.

Neurofeedback offers a different approach by targeting the brain’s firing patterns that underlie many cognitive and emotional health challenges. Through this training, the brain learns to self-regulate, becoming more flexible and balanced. This leads to lasting improvements in symptoms and overall mental well-being.

While medications can help relieve symptoms, they don’t address the deeper causes of mental health concerns. That’s where therapy comes in. Therapy offers a space for insight and self-awareness, helping you to explore the root of your struggles and make healthier, more intentional choices. In fact, research shows that combining therapy with medication often leads to more effective and long-lasting outcomes.

By integrating therapy or neurofeedback with or without medication, you can work toward not just managing symptoms, but achieving deeper healing and growth.

The goal of therapy is to help you feel better and lead a more fulfilling life, but the journey isn’t always easy. Some sessions may feel emotionally challenging, leaving you feeling upset, confused, or even exhausted as you work through difficult emotions or experiences. This is a normal part of the healing process as you begin to confront and process what has been discussed.

On the other hand, some sessions may bring relief and clarity. You might gain new insights about yourself or feel a sense of lightness as you let go of emotional burdens you've been carrying for a long time. Therapy is a process, and progress can take time, with ups and downs along the way. Each session contributes to your growth, whether it feels comfortable or challenging.

While almost everything you tell your therapist is confidential, there are some legal exceptions. These are as follows:

• Child Abuse: If we have reasonable cause to believe that a child has been subject to abuse, I must report this immediately to the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services.
• Adult and Domestic Abuse: If we reasonably believe that a vulnerable adult is the subject of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, I may report the information to the county adult protective services provider.
• Health Oversight: If the New Jersey State Board of Psychological Examiners issues a subpoena, I may be compelled to testify before the Board and produce your relevant records and papers.
• Judicial or Administrative Proceedings: If you are involved in a court proceeding and a request is made for information about the professional services that we have provided you and/or the records thereof, such information is privileged under state law, and we must not release this information without written authorization from you or your legally appointed representative, or a court order. This privilege does not apply when you are being evaluated for a third party or where the evaluation is court ordered. We must inform you in advance if this is the case.
• Serious Threat to Health or Safety: If you communicate to me a threat of imminent serious harm against a readily identifiable victim or yourself and we believe you intend to carry out that threat, we must take steps to warn and protect. We also must take such steps if we believe you intend to carry out such harm, even if you have not made a specific verbal threat. The steps we take to warn and protect may include arranging for you to be admitted to a psychiatric unit of a hospital or other health care facility, advising the police of your threat and the identity of the intended victim, warning the intended victim or his or her parents if the intended victim is under 18, and warning your parents if you are under 18.
• Worker’s Compensation: If you file a worker’s compensation claim, we may be required to release relevant information from your mental health records to a participant in the worker’s compensation case, a reinsurer, the health care provider, medical and non-medical experts in connection with the case, the Division of Worker’s Compensation, or the Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau.
