Do you accept insurance?

Yes! Essex Therapy is currently in-network with:

Aetna

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey

If you have a different insurance plan, private-pay services are also available. We are happy to verify your insurance benefits before your first visit whenever possible and explain your coverage so there are no surprises.

Do you offer private-pay services?

Yes. Private-pay services are available for families without in-network coverage or those who prefer not to use insurance.

Rates and payment policies will be reviewed during your initial consultation so you can make an informed decision before beginning services.

Where are therapy sessions held?

Essex Therapy offers flexible therapy options to meet your family's needs, including:

In-home therapy

Daycare and preschool visits

Community-based sessions (when appropriate)

Teletherapy (when appropriate)

Together, we'll determine the setting that best supports your child's goals and success.

How long are therapy sessions?

Most therapy sessions are 30–60 minutes, depending on your child's age, attention, goals, and treatment recommendations.

Session length and frequency are individualized to support meaningful progress.

Do you collaborate with schools and other providers?

Yes. With parent permission, we regularly collaborate with teachers, school teams, physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other professionals to support continuity of care across settings.

What ages do you work with?

Essex Therapy provides speech-language services for:

Infants and toddlers

Preschool-aged children

School-aged children

Adolescents

If you're unsure whether your child would benefit from speech therapy, we're happy to discuss your concerns and determine how we can help.

Do you offer speech and language evaluations?

Yes. We provide comprehensive speech and language evaluations to identify your child's strengths and areas of need.

Evaluations may assess:

Speech sound disorders (articulation and phonology)

Expressive and receptive language

Early language development

Social communication

Executive functioning and communication-related skills (when appropriate)

Following the evaluation, you'll receive a detailed written report, personalized recommendations, and guidance regarding next steps.

What if my child does not qualify for school-based speech therapy?

Many children benefit from private speech-language therapy even if they do not qualify for services through their school district or Early Intervention.

Private therapy focuses on your child's individual needs rather than school eligibility requirements, helping build communication skills that support success at home, in school, and in everyday life.
