Private Pay & Out-of-Network Therapy in New Jersey

At Rise Up Counseling, we provide specialized, evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD, OCD and anxiety disorders, couples therapy, parenting support, and executive mental health services.

We operate primarily as a private pay and out-of-network therapy practice in New Jersey. This allows us to offer extended 90-minute sessions, therapy intensives, parent workshops, and concierge-style support that often go beyond what traditional insurance models allow.

We are in-network with a limited number of select BCBS, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare plans, depending on the clinician and specific policy. Coverage varies by provider.

For clients with out-of-network benefits, we provide detailed superbills for reimbursement, and many of our clients receive partial reimbursement directly from their insurance company.

Our commitment is full transparency so you can make an informed and confident decision about investing in specialized care.

In-Network Insurance Coverage

Rise Up Counseling is in-network with a limited number of select BCBS, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare plans, depending on the clinician and specific policy. Because insurance plans vary significantly, coverage depends on your individual benefits. In general, when services are in-network, most plans cover:
  • Individual psychotherapy (typically 45–60 minute sessions) 
  • Couples therapy (if covered under your behavioral health benefits) 
  • Telehealth therapy sessions 
  • Treatment for diagnosable conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD 
Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on:
  • Your deductible 
  • Copay or coinsurance 
  • Whether your deductible has been met 
Your plan’s mental health coverage limits

Verifying Your Benefits

Before beginning therapy, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask:
  • What is my mental health deductible?
  • What is my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychotherapy?
  • Is telehealth covered?
  • Do I need prior authorization?
  • Is couples therapy covered under my plan?
If you need guidance, our team can help you understand what questions to ask so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in advanced trauma therapy (EMDR and IFS), OCD treatment (ERP), Gottman Method couples therapy, parenting workshops, and extended sessions. Insurance companies often limit session length, restrict treatment models, and require diagnoses for reimbursement.

Operating primarily as a private-pay and out-of-network practice allows us to provide deeper, more individualized care without those restrictions.

Our focus is quality, depth, and meaningful progress — not high-volume, insurance-driven treatment.

Yes. Many clients use their out-of-network mental health benefits.

If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, you may receive partial reimbursement after meeting your deductible. We provide detailed superbills that you can submit directly to your insurance carrier.

We are also in-network with a limited number of select BCBS, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare plans depending on clinician availability and your specific policy.

If you're unsure about your coverage, we can guide you in verifying your benefits before starting therapy.

Clients often choose private pay therapy because they want:

  • Specialized, advanced-trained clinicians
  • Longer 90-minute sessions
  • Access to therapy intensives
  • Greater flexibility in treatment
  • Increased privacy (insurance requires a mental health diagnosis)

Private pay allows therapy to be tailored fully to your needs rather than insurance requirements.

For trauma therapy, OCD treatment, couples counseling, and parenting work, extended sessions often allow for deeper processing and more efficient progress.

Many clients find that longer sessions reduce overall treatment time by allowing focused, uninterrupted work.

Our clinicians are trained in gold-standard, research-backed approaches including:

  • EMDR for trauma and PTSD
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) for attachment and parts work
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD
  • Gottman Method for couples

We provide structured, measurable, evidence-based treatment rather than general supportive counseling.

For certain intensives or specialty packages, structured payment arrangements may be available. We are happy to discuss options during your consultation.
