In-Person and Online Therapy in Montclair
Some people feel most present with in-person therapy, as they physically step into a therapy office. However, others appreciate being able to log on from home between work, childcare, and everything else that fills the week. Madison Square Psychotherapy offers both in-person and virtual options so therapy can fit more realistically into your life.
With online therapy in Montclair, NJ, clients from across New Jersey can meet with a therapist from the comfort of their own home or another private space rather than traveling to an office. Virtual sessions can be especially helpful when your schedule changes from week to week or getting to an appointment would otherwise become another source of stress.
If you prefer face-to-face connection, you can also meet with a psychotherapist in Montclair, NJ, at 38 Park St, Suite 2, Montclair, NJ 07042.

How to Get Started
02
Assess the Fit
During your initial consultation call, your therapist will find out a little more about you and what brings you into therapy. At the same time, you can share what you’re looking for, ask questions, and talk through what kind of support feels most helpful for you to see if it feels like a match. It’s important to know you don’t need to prepare the perfect explanation for why you want to start therapy. We can start with what you know right now.
03
Do the Work
Once you begin, we personalize the therapy to you. We take a client-centered and holistic approach, and believe that therapy shouldn’t be a cookie-cutter commodity. You’ll work with your therapist to focus on your goals and process whatever comes up in sessions.
Insurance and Fees for Montclair Therapy
Our therapists are all out-of-network, which means we don’t bill insurance directly. This gives us the flexibility to offer the therapy that best addresses your needs without insurance restrictions around diagnosis, privacy, session limits, session length, or type of treatment. However, most of our clients have out-of-network benefits that often reimburse 60-80% of session fees after deductible and we can provide you with superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. For more information on our policies and how out-of-network billing works, feel free to visit our billing page.
Session fees vary depending on the therapist and are available on each therapist’s profile. If session cost may be a concern, most of our therapists have some sliding scale spots available and can work with you to find a rate that feels feasible. Because every insurance plan works differently, we recommend confirming your specific mental health and telehealth benefits directly with your insurer.

The first session is usually a “get-to-know-you” session.

It also gives you a better chance to ask the therapist about their approach and what future sessions might look like.
