I was hoping someone could help me out. I am looking for a therapist in new jersey, U.S.A. I need one that takes a certain insurance but I have looked at the ads and I can't find anyone. does anyone out there have a suggestion of how I can find one. did I mention I am new to the state of new jersey. ~jen~

Rather than looking at ads, I would call the Mental Health Organization and ask them about therapists. They have all the information and references. If insurance isn't taken, many places will offer sliding scale fees.

i agree with fig4.....google sometimes works too.....if you have a primary care physician you can also ask them if they know anyone....

Try calling the behavioral health number on the back of your insurance card. They can usually give you the names of providers who are in network. I know when I used to have Blue Cross Blue Shield, they even had a website where you could search for in network providers.

Fig is right about the sliding scale as well. Many therapists are willing to bill you "out of network" if they do not take your specific insurance.

Good luck and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you with your search!
