Fees & Scheduling
The Process
Your first few appointments are a consultation. It is an opportunity for you to get a sense of what therapy with me will be like and decide if you feel comfortable continuing. It is also where I will begin to get to know you, the reasons you have decided to begin therapy, and assess your needs. Based on these conversations, I will give you my impressions and we will then develop goals as well as a plan of what our work will include to get there. At this point therapy will begin.
Sessions are 45-60 minutes long and will take place once or twice per week depending on need.
Insurance
Head and Heart Therapy is an out-of-network provider, but I will work you regarding payment. For many plans that have out-of-network benefits, Head and Heart Therapy is able to submit claims to the insurance and limit your out-of-pocket costs so that they are not much more than a copay. Examples of such plans are Horizon NJ Direct 10 and Horizon NJ Direct 15. Please speak directly with Temima Danzig, LCSW to see if this is an option.
Where that is not a viable option, Head and Heart Therapy is happy to provide you with superbills to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
I recommend checking with your insurance company to determine the extent of your out-of-network mental/behavioral health benefits, including your annual deductible, insurance company reimbursement rate, the number of sessions covered per calendar year, and whether sessions require prior authorization by the insurance company for coverage.
