## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if I (or my child) need help?**
Every person and situation is different. A good rule of thumb is to ask: "Is this issue disrupting my life or our family?" Some people appear fine on the outside while struggling internally — in either case, services may be warranted. The practice offers a free phone consultation to determine fit.

**How do I get started?**
Call or text (908) 883-4173 or email info@anxietyandbehaviornj.com to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. A staff member will gather basic background information, determine if the practice is a good fit, and match you with an appropriate therapist. If they are not the right fit, they will provide referrals and resources.

**How do I know which therapist can help me?**
All therapists have diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. The staff works with you to determine the best match for your or your child's needs.

**Do you accept insurance?**
The practice is out-of-network. However, out-of-network benefits frequently reimburse a substantial portion of fees, making costs comparable to in-network copays. Call (908) 883-4173 to discuss current fees and options. Factors affecting cost include the therapist's level of training/experience and session length.

**What is your cancellation policy?**
24 hours' notice is required to cancel without being charged the full fee. Cancel by calling, texting, or emailing the office.

**Do you prescribe medication?**
No. The practice does not have a psychiatrist on staff and does not offer medication prescribing or management.

**What is a Good Faith Estimate?**
The practice provides a Good Faith Estimate explaining mental health care costs in advance, as required by law.
