Telehealth at SASNJ

Now, MORE than New Jersey!

All of our therapists practice in New Jersey, and many have certification to practice telehealth (or “teletherapy”) in other states. This enables them to serve clients outside of our immediate geographic vicinity, which we feel is an important part of our mission as specialists.

The following states are served by our therapists:

  • Florida: Dr. Cindy Haines, Dr. Allen Weg, Dr. Rachel Strohl, Dr. Rob Zambrano

  • New York: Dr. Jennifer Kennedy, Dr. Cindy Haines, Dr. Dina Siegel & Dr. Rob Zambrano

  • Pennsylvania: Dr. Charity Truong & Devon Layfield, LCSW

  • Texas: Dr. Charity Truong

In addition, the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) has been granted by the PSYPACT Commission to:

  • Dr. Charity Truong (APIT #5410)

  • Dr. Rachel Strohl (APIT #9992)

  • Dr. Jennifer Kennedy (APIT #10781)

  • Dr. Cindy Haines (APIT #10947)

  • Dr. Rob Zambrano (APIT #11984)

  • Dr. Allen Weg (APIT #13103)

This means they can also see clients located in the following states:

Telehealth has always had a role in our practice

Telehealth (or “teletherapy”) are terms that describe therapy services delivered via video conferencing. It allows our psychologists to work with you online, which has become particularly important in the era of COVID-19.  However, our practice has been utilizing this modality for years, given that the therapies we use lend particularly well to this form of technology.  At times there are important certain clinical advantages, such as when OCD contamination issues exist in the home.

Rigorous training:

Each of our therapists has been through the rigorous training and certification process offered by the Telebehavioral Health Institute (TBHI), one of the premier organizations for training and certifying telehealth expertise, or its equivalent. We adhere to strict standards regarding where and how Telehealth services are provided, and use a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing service to conduct our appointments.

Our clients love telehealth!

Clients that have used this service report to us that they love the convenience, and do not believe that the quality of service has been compromised in any way.

Teletherapy is available for all clients, and is a great option for those who would like to meet with one of our therapists but are not vaccinated or just want the convenience of treatment online, without sacrificing quality of care.
