Please use the widget below to check whether you have OON benefits and your expected fee post deductible. I am a private-pay provider. While I don’t accept your insurance directly, your plan may have out-of-network (OON) benefits, which means your insurance will reimburse you for a large portion of our session cost. If you do have OON benefits, I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. They will take care of submitting and managing the claims for you, so you don’t have to worry about submitting superbills. Once you meet your deductible, you also have the option to pay a reduced fee for our sessions, instead of needing to pay my full rate and waiting for a reimbursement check.

The initial evaluation is 60 minutes. Appointments thereafter are typically 45 minutes. If you are interested in a longer session, this can be arranged based on clinical appropriateness.
Yes. Aspire specializes in childhood and adolescent anxiety, OCD, school refusal, and the parenting challenges that surround them. We work with children and teens ages 6-18. Our core focus is anxiety. Everything here is built around that. Our method begins with a comprehensive diagnostic interview with the parent(s). Our interventions may involve individual treatment, intensive therapy, family-centered approaches, parent training, school observations and interventions, or a tailored blend of these strategies. We’re dedicated to providing top-notch care for your child’s well-being and use evidence-based approaches backed by research.
We do not prescribe medication, but we collaborate with local psychiatrists and prescribers. Many of our clients find medication helpful, but many also progress well in therapy without medication. When necessary, we can help arrange a referral. Additionally, we gladly coordinate our treatment with any current psychopharmacology prescribers.
The length of therapy depends on many factors, including your goals, how frequently and consistently you attend sessions, your level of motivation for change, and the type of concerns or issues you are addressing in therapy. In general, recent situational stressors or problems can be addressed in fewer sessions than longer-standing issues, or situations involving trauma or abuse.
Yes, we provide safe, secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions via secure videoconferencing for some teens and adults — often for anxiety, PTSD, and car-accident-related therapy. We are licensed to provide telehealth in New Jersey and New York only.
We use evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Therapy, Trauma-Informed treatment, Play Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Parent Training, Mindfulness techniques, SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), and PMT (Parent Management Training).
Your involvement in your child’s therapy sessions depends on various factors, including your child’s age, the nature of the issue, and whether research supports parental involvement in the type of treatment your child is receiving. In some situations, especially with younger children, your guidance and involvement might be crucial for promoting and sustaining behavioral and emotional changes between therapy sessions. With older children or adolescents, allowing privacy between the child and therapist can be essential for building trust and facilitating progress. We prioritize a personalized approach for each family and will collaborate with you to provide clear guidance on how best to support your child’s growth.
