At Stuart J. Nathan, Ph.D. and Associates, we carefully match you with a therapist based on specific needs, concerns, and preferences. During your initial consultation, we will assess your goals and recommend the clinician best suited to support your mental health journey.

Your first session will focus on understanding your concerns, personal history, and your goals for therapy. You’ll meet your assigned therapist in a welcoming and private setting to discuss your needs and begin developing a personalized plan for care. You can ask questions, share your concerns, and get a clear sense of what therapy will look like moving forward.

Most therapy sessions last between 50 and 60 minutes, allowing time for discussion, assessment, and guidance. Your therapist may recommend longer or more frequent sessions based on your needs.

Our office does not require referrals; however, certain insurance providers require a referral from your primary care physician. We will verify your insurance requirements during the intake process and let you know if any additional steps need to be taken prior to your first appointment.

We offer several evidence-based modalities designed to meet each client’s unique needs. These include:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
