FAQ
We hope to answer any linquring questions you may have. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any further inquires.
How does psychotherapy work?
Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy, involves structured conversations between a therapist and a client to address emotional, psychological, and relational issues.
What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is specific to sexual issues. Sex therapy can be used to address a variety of sexual issues. Individuals or couples of all races, religions, cultures and ethnicities often seek out the help of a sex therapist. Sex therapy is for anyone seeking help for sexual concerns regardless of gender, orientation, physical ability, age or marital status. In addition, sex therapy can help with sex addiction or compulsion, intimacy and infidelity.
Does insurance cover sex therapy?
Most insurance companies cover some or all of the cost of mental health care. Just as they do with other types of therapy, different insurance companies have different requirements regarding how they cover these services. We find that it is best to ask your health insurance carrier in advance your plan’s coverage. We do not participate with any health insurance companies but we will provide a receipt for out-of-network services for you to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement consideration.
How long until I can schedule an appointment?
We make every effort to see you as soon as possible when you call for an appointment. Some types of evaluation can be scheduled right away while others may require a few more days between the times you call and when we can see you. Please ask when you call for an appointment if you want to be seen sooner than is usual. Currently most of our therapists are accepting new clients and have availability as early as two weeks from now.
How long is a session with a therapist?
We prefer to schedule the first few sessions for two hours each. This allows us to engage in more productive work in a shorter amount of time. From there your therapist will work with you to set the best schedule for your needs.
How often should you see a therapist?
Each client is different. We work to fit into your schedule and while we like to set a bi-weekly appointment time, we are aware that families, kids, work, and other responsibilities effect availability.
How much is a therapy session?
The fee for service depends on the particular service required. Standard hourly rates for our senior clinicians are $275. Individual sessions, group and family therapy sessions are also charged accordingly. Fees for evaluations also vary depending upon the type of evaluation you require. We ask that you call our office at 856-448-4992 for information regarding fees and any other questions you may have.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Currently, we accept cash, check, HSA, Venmo and Zelle. In the future we hope to accept credit cards as well. Currently, Venmo will allow you to pay via credit card if needed.
What are your office hours?
The therapists here at the New Jersey Center for Sex Therapy have varying schedules. We have daytime, evening and weekend appointments available. Again, we will make every effort to see you at your convenience. Our goal is to make therapy a positive experience for you.
Do you prescribe medication?
We do not have prescription privileges but we can refer you to a qualified physician who will evaluate you for appropriate medications, if needed. A combination of therapy and medication is sometimes the best course of treatment. Remember, medication usually only treats symptoms and does not get at the cause of your discomfort. Your therapist will be happy to discuss your medication concerns.
