Consultation

The first step of our anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, is a consultation. We’ll collect information in relation to any prior diagnoses, your goals for therapy and treatment, and your preference for in-person or telehealth therapy sessions. After which, we’ll set you up with an account on our confidential web-based program, TheraNest. This program will allow you to schedule appointments, pay for copays, and have access to your information.

Evaluation

Our evaluation phase involves two evaluations: one guided self-evaluation and an evaluation by one of our therapists. This phase of anxiety therapy helps determine the best form of therapy for you and your mental health issues. We’ll also design a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs.

Appointment

After your evaluation, you’ll be able to schedule, cancel, and reschedule anxiety therapy sessions around your schedule on TheraNest. This allows you to schedule your appointments online and input your credit card information to pay for co-payments quickly.
