How long is a therapy session?

The initial intake session is one hour, while all subsequent sessions are 45 minutes.

How many sessions will you need to see me/my child in therapy?

The number of sessions that a client needs to be seen is dependent on several factors, some of which include the presenting disorder/symptoms, severity of symptoms,and the level of motivation to engage in the treatment process.  Therefore, the length of treatment varies depending upon the individual client.

What are your fees for therapy sessions?

Please contact Dr. Solomon-Charney directly at (732) 651-9820 to discuss session fees.

How much time will it take for you to test my child?

The length of an evaluation varies according to a child's age and skill level. Actual testing time typically ranges from 2-6 hours, but may vary depending upon your child. 

Will the testing be completed in one day?

On some occasions, a child will be tested during one session. However, because testing is often  lengthy, test administration is frequently broken up across multiple sessions. 

How long will it take to receive testing results?

Each evaluation is catered to the individual needs of your child.  Therefore, it takes some time to carefully score the tests, review results, integrate data, and write a comprehensive report.  A feedback session, where results and recommendations will be provided, is typically scheduled for two weeks following the completion of testing. 

Do you participate with any insurance companies?

At the present time, I do not participate with any insurance companies.  However, I will provide you with a bill that you can submit for reimbursement, depending upon your out of network benefits.  Psychological testing is not always covered by insurance companies.  Please be sure to check with your insurance provider.

What is the cost of an evaluation?

Prior to evaluating a child, an intake interview is conducted with the parents/caregivers.  The fee for this session is $200, which is due at the time of service, and applied to the total cost of the evaluation.  The total cost varies based upon the number of tests administered.  Please call (732) 651-9820 to discuss evaluation fees.

Do I have to pay the entire fee in full, or can I make payments?

Fees for therapy sessions are due in full at the time of the session. Clients seen for psychological testing must pay the $200 fee for the initial interview at the time of service.  Payment for the remainder of the evaluation may be broken up, but all fees are due upon completion of test administration.

Do you take credit cards?

Credit cards are not accepted at this time.  Payment must be cash or check.  Checks should be made out to Jamie Solomon-Charney, Psy.D.
