The therapists who practice at Bucks County Anxiety Center work with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety and OCD.
Here are some questions people have before they begin treatment for anxiety or OCD.
The most important factors that determine your success in therapy are:
How much you trust your therapist.
Your therapist’s approach, experience, and expertise.
Some people choose a therapist and stay with them because of insurance.
Staying with a therapist who is a poor fit for what you need will significantly impact your therapy process and results.
Psychotherapy is an investment in better health and a better life.
The therapists who practice at Bucks County Anxiety Center are a good fit for people who understand that any treatment or improvement process involves investment and time.
Each therapist sets their own fee for a 45-50 minute session.
Fees range from $130-$180.
Each therapist who practices at Bucks County Anxiety Center decides whether to accept insurance.
If you are paying out of pocket:
Patients are responsible for paying the full fee at the beginning of a session or consultation.
You will be given a detailed receipt to submit for reimbursement.
Please check with your insurance company about your out-of-network benefits.
If you are using insurance:
All insurance matters and billing are handled through a separate billing company.
Please consult Alma directly with any insurance-related questions.
We’ve all worked with a lot of patients who, initially, are set on using insurance to pay for services.
However, they quickly realize they want a specialist who can give them the best care so that they can live the life they want.
They believe that their health, or that of their loved one, is worth the investment.
If you and your therapist are a good fit, we truly hope you’ll stay and work with them.
We're so glad you've found a therapist at the Center who seems like a good fit for your needs.
We have a strict policy for setting up first appointments to make sure we're making the best use of everyone's time.
To set up your first appointment:
Please cancel 24 hours before your appointment. Otherwise, you will be charged the full cost of the session.
The reason for this policy is that, if you provide less than 24 hours’ notice, your therapist cannot offer that slot to someone else.
Unlike doctors’ offices, therapists cannot double book a slot. The time is reserved for you.
Late cancellation and missed appointment fees are not reimbursed by insurance companies.
All of the therapists at Bucks County Anxiety Center have the same cancellation policy.
Please note:
If you cancel twice with 24 hours' notice within a period of 3 sessions, you will lose your weekly slot.
Your therapist will offer you appointment times based on what they have available. You will also have to pre-pay for all of your sessions moving forward.
All of the therapists who practice at Bucks County Anxiety Center are trained and experienced in CBT for Anxiety as well as in Exposure Response Prevention for OCD.
Each therapist has different strengths, experiences, and sub-specialties.
All of the therapists here seek out ongoing training in order to stay up to date with the latest research and treatment methods.
If you do not feel like you and your therapist are a good fit, please tell them. They can recommend a plan that will work better for you.
The length of therapy depends on:
Most patients start to have some relief from their symptoms within 6-10 weeks.
However, most patients work with their therapist for 6-12 months. This allows them to be thorough and make sure they are ready to manage on their own.
Many patients stay on for longer because they like having a trusted and private adviser who understands them.
Not necessarily. It varies on a case-by-case basis.
You and your therapist will discuss your situation and develop a plan that makes sense.
No one at Bucks County Anxiety Center prescribes medication.
Your therapist can refer you to a psychiatrist in the community.
