I'm in the JC area but I'm desperate enough to do the 3 hr trips for one lol Since i am in the tail end of the state, im kind of expecting a long drive either way.

How did you find them & how did you get in contact with them, did you go there first or just called?

Thank you for the suggestion btw!

oops im sorry i just realized you said DM's are open for questions & i still asked on here lol BUT thank you ill give them a call when i can ^^

Center for Assessment and Treatment

Hey there, this place is located in Hackettstown, NJ but they only take Medicaid and do telemedicine(virtual)appointments

All of the therapists are good here. Yes, I know from personal experience. I’m a big advocate for therapy! I hope this helps you.

I honestly get a bit nervous when people say its just therapists & not psychologist cause I've had quite a few therapists already that i went to and they couldn't diagnose or do anything besides on asking how I was which is great & everything but i do have a support system. I just need a professional diagnosis.

I did look at the site and they did say they can do what I am looking for but I am hesitant tbh lol

I appreciate you sharing this info!

I visited a Dr Eric Latimer in Montclair when I was living in jersey. I’ve had countless psychiatrists and he was the first one who actually sat down to work with me and listen to what I want. We’d spend about half an hour doing therapy and then the next fifteen or so minutes talking about meds.

They aren’t just therapists. Dr. Todd Bennett is a Doctor of psychology. They also have a few more….If you click the menu at top of page, you can see all clinicians and doctors. I understand your hesitancy…but I can’t say enough how good this practice is. I’ve been with them 4 years(family and individual). Ultimately it is your choice and I wish you the best

What Medicaid plan do you have (Horizon NJ Health, Aetna, Amerihealth, etc)? You can find in-network providers near you on the insurance website.

I know someone with a positive experience at Hamilton Behavioral Health in Bergen county.

Oh okay ill give them a try when i can, Thank you

The thing is I have done this before but I just can never find anything but just therapist that cant do much. I have Horizon i think but Thank you for the suggestion :)

Have you logged into your insurance provider’s website and searched through their list of in-network providers for mental health care? I find that a little easier personally than using an external website or source that doesn’t know the specifics of your plan, tiers (if applicable), etc.

This was how I personally found a good therapist through Summit Medical Group - I have Horizon OMNIA as a state employee.

I have i believe a few years ago and all i could find was Therapists that couldn't help me other then just talking about my feelings but not help with Diagnosis of anything sadly. I don't know if it would be any different now but I'm scared to waste time that is why I'm asking on here.

If you are looking for a diagnosis try to fine ad “neuropsychologist”

I had found a Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (she can prescribe medication) that accepts Medicaid through Reservoir Health. Her name is Dr. Jacqueline Hunterton-Anderson. She’s very nice and knowledgeable. https://www.myreservoirhealth.com/

They’re not local for me so I’d use Zoom for the sessions. Most practitioners use Zoom nowadays for convenience/safety.

Hackettstown is really far. There are a ton of places in JC.

That sounds even harder to look for then what I'm looking for cause i never knew or even heard of those lol Not saying its not a thing I just dont wanna make my search harder

If so please comment them, I need all i can get lol Just in case one of the ones I get suggested doesn't work.

Thank you :)

Thank you for the suggestion ill look him up :)

Try your local hospital. My husband was just referred to a neuropsychologist at Robert wood
