FAQs

  • You can expect that it may be difficult at times but you can also expect unconditional support and a commitment to helping you work through difficult things. You should not expect to be given directives on how you “should” do things or quick cures or expect major breakthroughs immediately . Therapy is a commitment to yourself and it can take time to get to where you want to be.

  • Standard session time is 50 minutes. How often sessions will occur depends on many factors but typical sessions are weekly at least to start. Oftentimes as therapy continues it is common for someone to switch to a bi-weekly or even monthly schedule; it is also sometimes necessary to be seen twice in one week. We will decide together what frequency is right for you!

  • The last available appointment each day starts one hour before we close.

  • Make sure you designate Haddon Heights as the town when using GPS otherwise you may end up in another place. 204 White Horse Pike is a bright blue building, there is a public parking lot located directly to the right of the building where you can park. Please feel free to come in either the front or back door and have a seat in the waiting area in the back of the building. Alexis will come get you at the time of your appointment!

  • If you need to make a schedule change or have a simple question, the best way to contact us is here or to call/text (856)442-9552. However, if you need to contact us about something related to your mental health needs, or something that was discussed during a session, please utilize your Client Portal. If it is an emergency, please use the resources listed here.

  • An excellent question really. The short answer is that it’s complicated. Being able to accept insurance as a provider is a long process, but once Caim Counseling is credentialed with an insurance company it will appear on the services page. In the meantime it is a good idea to check with your insurance company to see if they offer out-of-network benefits that you could take advantage of.

  • Yes, but we could always change your appointment to being virtual instead of in-person; that way you still get your session (and you avoid a late cancellation fee) and no one else gets sick!

  • Think of it in terms of proactive vs. reactive. Premarital counseling allows you to address things in your relationship that may need a tune up or improvement and helps you and your partner set expectations and establish a shared vision of how your marriage will function. It also allows you a space to discuss things that may be hard to discuss on your own- things you may have been avoiding talking about without even realizing it. Premarital counseling gives you tools and skills you can use to build a strong foundation. Couples therapy frequently occurs later in a relationship when things have begun to be dysfunctional and there is hurt and conflict happening. Couples therapy is often to repair a relationship and sometimes couples therapy is to determine the most functional way to break up and move on.

  • Unfortunately, no. The premarital counseling is designed as a finite program, but if you feel you still need more I will be happy to refer you to a qualified clinician who does couples therapy. If one of you would like to be seen for individual therapy that is something that could be discussed.

  • There may be things suggested to read or concepts we discuss where it would benefit you to do more in depth work on your own, but no, you are not required to buy anything.

  • The requirements are different state-to-state and currently Alexis is unable to take on LACs in New Jersey for clinical supervision due to the regulations. That may change in the future and if it does the website will be updated accordingly.

  • Those are the rules! In PA the maximum number of clinical supervisees a supervisor can have is 6. However, due to the nature of supervision, supervisees eventually complete their supervision and that opens up space for a new supervisee.
