If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you're not alone. We'll talk through what's actually going on, explain your options, and decide on a plan together.

FAQ
Questions people ask us
More answers on our FAQ page, or call 856-372-1819, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm.
Who do you see?
Adults 18 to 65 who are physically in New Jersey at the time of each visit. Most visits are by secure video, anywhere in New Jersey. Our office is in Mount Laurel, NJ, and in-person visits there are limited and by appointment only; ask our office.
Are you therapists?
We're psychiatric providers focused on medication, and our visits also include real therapeutic work. Depending on your clinician, visits may draw on supportive, motivational interviewing, CBT-based, or DBT-based skills. We don't offer standalone weekly therapy, but we're happy to help you find a therapist and, with your permission, we'll coordinate with them.
Will I actually have time to talk?
Yes. Our appointments are longer, and we don't double- or triple-book. You'll have time to talk with your prescriber and ask about your medications and your diagnosis.
Do you take my insurance?
We're in network with Horizon BCBS NJ and most other BCBS plans, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Optum, Oscar, Oxford and Curative. Coverage can vary by plan and by provider, so after you submit your intake packet, we'll verify your benefits and let you know what to expect before your first appointment. We don't accept Medicare or Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare). Because of Medicare and Medicaid rules, we also can't see patients with these plans on a private-pay basis.
Do you prescribe controlled medications, like Xanax or Klonopin?
We don't prescribe stimulants or other Schedule II controlled medications. For other controlled medications, whether one is right for you is decided case by case by your provider after your evaluation. Federal rules for prescribing these through telehealth are changing, and some situations may require an in-person visit. If you take one now, please mention it in your intake packet or call our office, and we'll let you know what's possible.
Can you help me taper off a medication?
Yes. If you'd like to come off a medication, your provider will talk with you about the benefits and risks. If it makes sense, they'll create a slow, careful plan to lower it safely. Sometimes, after an assessment, your provider may recommend staying on a medication and will explain why, but the decision is yours. Please don't stop a medication on your own; some can cause withdrawal symptoms or a return of symptoms if stopped suddenly.
How do I get started?
Fill out our secure intake packet. Once it's submitted, we'll verify your insurance and call you to schedule your appointment. We'll get you in as soon as we can.
What if I'm in crisis?
If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), any time, day or night. In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
