Common Questions

What kind of therapy is provided?

Individual sessions for adults are provided for both counseling and EMDR at this time. 

How are sessions conducted?

We offer telehealth sessions through a HIPAA-compliant video platform for both counseling and EMDR sessions conveniently for you throughout the day and week. 

How long is a session?

Sessions are approximately 45-55 minutes in length weekly depending on the nature of challenges and insurance authorizations. 

Do you take insurance? How will I know my sessions are covered?

Yes! We are currently in-network with:

  •  Aetna
  • Horizon BCBS/Blue Cross Blue Shield 
  •  Cigna/Evernorth
  •  United Healthcare


We complete the benefits check prior to scheduling initial appointments and file claims daily.


Please note: We are not in-network with Medicaid such as NJ family care, community plans, or Medicare plans.  

What forms of payments do you accept?

All major credit cards such as American Express, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa are currently accepted as a form of payment- unfortunately, we are not accepting cash or checks at this time. 

I'm interested in private pay. What are your OUT-OF-POCKET costs?

Private pay is an option for those wishing to protect their privacy and comes with freedom from insurance restrictions (allowing for more flexibility and design in your treatment program specifically with EMDR). 


Out of pocket costs vary based on the therapeutic service provided: 

  • Initial Intake: $175.00 per 45-55 minutes
  • Counseling Session: $150.00 per 45-55 minutes
  • EMDR Session: $200.00 per 60-90 minutes 
  • Per 30 minute add-on $50.00


Superbills can be provided if a plan has out-of-network benefits for full or partial reimbursement. All out-of-network benefits inquires can be completed through the member/client. 


*Good Faith Estimate  Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.  You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. 

We will provide you a copy of a Good Faith Estimate with your paperwork.
