Therapy, or counseling, is a collaborative process in which a Licensed Clinician helps you address emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges in a supportive environment. Through open dialogue and tailored techniques, therapy aims to improve your well-being by helping you better understand yourself and make positive changes in your life. Not all therapy is the same and not all therapists approach it in the same way. Each therapeutic relationship is unique and may take a few meetings to develop. Therapy can help by providing a supportive and safe environment where you and a licensed therapist collaborate on goals to address your emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges using evidence based practices. While reaching out to friends and family is an important part of any healing process, peer supports alone may not be sufficient to work through certain struggles in order to heal and create longstanding change. This is where it may be important to have a trained behavioral health professional onboard.

The privacy, confidentiality, and security of your personal information is of utmost importance. The information you share with any of our staff is protected by HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA is a federal law establishing privacy and security standards to protect your personal health information (PHI) held by healthcare providers, including therapists and mental health professionals. This means that your therapist is legally required to keep your medical information confidential and secure, except in specific situations where disclosure is allowed or required by law, such as for treatment, payment, healthcare operations, or in cases involving potential harm to yourself or others. When reviewing our consent documents in your client portal, you will find the Informed Consent for Psychotherapy, which explains general information, confidentiality, client rights, and responsibilities. Please feel free to ask your therapist if you have more questions on your rights to privacy.

During your first therapy session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where your therapist will dedicate the meeting to learning more about you and the history of your presenting problem, exploring how you would like to see this change. They'll likely ask questions to understand your concerns and goals. It's normal to feel nervous, however we hope that you can trust that the therapist is there to help you feel comfortable and supported throughout the session.

Our standard appointment is 50 minutes long. Sometimes, we run a few minutes shorter or longer, depending on the circumstances. For example, if your session was scheduled for 2 p.m., the time between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. is reserved for you. Specialized appointments, such as Evaluations, have varying time lengths, and would be discussed when scheduling for these services.

Effective therapy happens when you have a strong rapport with your therapist. If you don't feel like your therapist is a good match for you, it's essential to communicate your concerns openly and honestly with your clinician. We welcome this feedback as your well being and you achieving your therapeutic goals are of utmost importance. You can talk about your feelings with the therapist and explore whether they can make any adjustments to better meet your needs. If you feel you need to explore other options to find a better fit, NJ Recovery & Wellness has other clinicians that we can connect with or of course provide referrals to other clinicians in the community who may be a better match.

If you feel that therapy isn't the right choice for you at the moment, it's essential to honor your feelings and decisions. You can communicate this respectfully and openly with your therapist, explaining your reasons for not pursuing therapy at this time. Your therapist will likely understand and respect your decision, offering support and suggesting alternative resources or approaches if needed. Remember, it's okay to prioritize your well-being and choose the most appropriate path for you at this point in your life.

Therapy duration and session frequency duration often vary on an individual basis. While some people find relief and experience strides toward their treatment goals in a short time period, others may benefit from longer-term therapy. You and your therapist would discuss these details related to your care once you arrive on an agreement on the goals of counseling and your course of care. Discussing your expectations and preferences with your therapist to create a plan that works best for you is essential. While we would never endeavor to advise each individual as a one-size-fits-all approach, generally speaking, it may be common to start counseling on a weekly basis, stepping down to bi-weekly once a healthy therapeutic alliance has been established and strides toward treatment goals are observed.

Absolutely, you can return to therapy, and in many cases, you can resume sessions with the same therapist that you had previously met with. It’s common for people to take breaks from therapy and decide to return when they feel ready to continue working on their goals. To inquire about your therapist's availability, you can contact our admin team at info@njraw.com or by calling (855)-202-7939. If your previous therapist is unavailable, you can find a different therapist at NJ Recovery & Wellness or elsewhere. The most important thing is finding the support you need to continue your therapeutic journey.

Everyone's therapeutic journey is unique, and there are times when a person may benefit from more than routine counseling has to offer. If you need a higher level of care beyond what outpatient therapy can provide, your therapist can help you explore and connect with appropriate resources. This might include recommendations for intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), residential treatment centers (RTC), or other care settings, depending on the severity of your symptoms and your individual needs. Your therapist can assist you in navigating the transition to higher levels of care and provide support throughout the process. It's essential to prioritize your well-being and access the level of care that best addresses your needs at any given time.
