TESTIMONIALS

Voices of Hope & Healing

Jason is an incredible therapist. He creates a safe, welcoming space where I always feel heard and understood.

Anonymous Client

Congratulations to Psychological Perspectives on your first 10 years! A special thanks to Dr. Vanessa — a truly caring and compassionate professional. She is helping me learn a better way to process my negative and unhelpful thoughts. As a 68-year-old client living with bipolar disorder, she has guided me and shown me that there is still so much I can learn — and so many reasons to keep growing.

Anonymous Client

Dr. Comis diagnosed me and explained everything in a way that made sense. She made it all easy to understand.

Jason was one of the most kind and understanding people. Jason helped me work through my trauma and helped me start moving towards recovery. Jason helped me start living my life that wasn’t filled with guilt, darkness and regret. Thank you Jason.

I've been coming here for over 7 years and can say that I've always felt welcomed and accepted by Dr. Talkington and staff. It's been a great experience to have a psychologist who makes me feel seen and understood and even appreciated for what I have been able to share. I've gone through many difficult life changes in this time, and the support I have received has been essential to my growth and healing. Thank you!!!

Anonymous Client

Dr. Mary is an absolute gem. She’s warm, funny, and refreshingly real—the kind of person who makes you feel instantly at ease. She knows exactly when to listen, when to challenge you, and somehow always manages to sneak in just the right amount of humor to make the hard stuff feel a little lighter. I've made more progress with her than with anyone else, and I always leave our sessions feeling more grounded, hopeful, and human.

Anonymous Client

I am so happy that I found Psychological Perspectives and my therapist (Brittany)! I feel like she listens and provides amazing guidance. I've been able to work through my OCD and phobias. Everyone I've interacted with here has been amazing!

My provider is so kind and wonderful!!!!

Anonymous Client

Celebrating 10 years! Dr. Talkington-Michael has positively impacted my life in countless ways. Working to relearn how I think and act towards myself has been a major gain, gratitude and mindfulness have been vital to my healing journey, having a non-biased listener who offers insight into the relationships in my life and helps me to put up and hold boundaries for my own well-being. There are so many more wonderful things I could say, but I’ll end with the fact that life is more manageable now and if you told that to me on day one, I wouldn’t have believed you. Here’s to all the people this practice will help in the next 10!

Anonymous Client

It is okay to have feelings and emotions. I learned to let my mind take a step away, rechannel my thoughts and use rational thinking, fun activities and support of others to help me get back on track and live my life for me not to absorb myself in the problem. I can't fix the problem, I can fix myself. Thank you for your support, I truly appreciate you all.

Amber was great and her evaluation really helped my son.

Anonymous Client

Dr. Comis is truly outstanding. She approached my assessment with thoroughness and great attention to detail, ensuring that I felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Her ability to clearly and compassionately explain information helped me understand my autism diagnosis in a way that truly made sense. Reviewing my diagnosis with her gave me clarity, validation, and a new sense of direction. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and support.

Anonymous Client

My provider was fantastic and I really enjoyed my experience with him. I had questions along the way and he did a fantastic job with explaining the process with me and made me feel comfortable. There was many times I felt embarrassed on some of the test but he never made me feel that he was judging me or thinking less of me. I truly believe that my provider is going to go far in his future and be very successful. You can tell that he truly cares about others and enjoys helping others.

Jason- You are a wonderful therapist and a very kind person!! Thank you for all the help and guidance that you have given me over the last few months. I never thought that feeling better was a possibility. I was wrong! Feeling better is possible. I had so many therapists over the years, but you are the one who has helped me the most! I know that it’s your job to listen but I still want to say thank you for listening. Thank you for helping me heal and get better! I will never forget working with you and hope that some day I will be able to help others, just like you helped me.

Christina is spunky, pleasant, nice, and has that “vibe and energy”! She’s always helpful, kind, and checks in with me by phone to follow up with me or when I need something.”

Anonymous Client

I just want to say that I’ve been going to my provider I think over a year now and she’s been amazing. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had and not only does she listen to me, but she also provides logical solutions that helped me make it through situations that were stressing me out. She’s also been extremely supportive during my pregnancy journey. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.

Anonymous Client

My experience all together was fantastic. 1 st interaction was with Jessica, she was very friendly and helpful and was very supportive in my situation and in my needs, was very prompt and got me in to see Caleb very quickly.

Anonymous Client

Jason was my therapist for years, and honestly was the best therapist I’ve had in my life. Due to my insurance changes I couldn’t see him any more, but I cannot recommend this practice enough. Jason gave me the tools to support myself and my mental health, and truly helped me in making changes to my perspective on life. What a wonderful team you have, and amazing therapists who truly care about their patients. Thank you for all you do!

Dr. G is very knowledgeable and helpful. My issues at the moment will require surgery to hopefully correct. If the psychological issues do in fact continue. I would not hesitate to return.

Very easy to contact and work with. Worked more with my kid than with me (nothing wrong with that), so I didn’t get as much of a personal impression or connection. However, the assessment itself went well.

Great experience with the assessment for my son.

You were very helpful every step of the way and communicated well.

It’s so weird bc I actually just referred my sister today! I referred her because of how helpful and nice you were. You also answered any question I had without acting it was a hassle. I appreciate that a lot!

Dr. Dellostritto's services were a god-send for our family. Despite my son receiving OT, PT and Early Intervention since before turned 1 nobody had diagnosed his challenges. Because of the practice ability to take us in quickly and Dr. Dellostritto's understanding of the processes within schools, she not only helped provide a thorough neuropsych evaluation but also helped provide input into his IEP. My son is now in 2 nd grade. We have had zero behavioral issues and he is advancing academically. As parents, we now have a better understanding of how to help our son.

My provider was compassionate and warm while also being able to tell me the truth. I’ve seen several therapists in the past 8 years but none that I had stuck with for more than a month or two. I was doing well and making progress in my sessions I’d like to think.

Anonymous Client

Capable, knowledgeable, prompt.

My provider helped me overcome lifelong fears. I never would have been able to face them without her help. I accomplished things that seemed impossible before I started seeing her. I'm beyond grateful for the progress we made. She made a huge difference in my life and completely changed what is possible for me in the future.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Still Have Questions?

Therapy is a collaborative process where you work with a trained professional in a safe, confidential space to explore your challenges and goals.

It can help you:

  • Gain a new perspective on your problems.

  • Develop practical coping skills for stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions.

  • Improve your relationships through healthier communication.

  • Heal from past trauma or difficult life experiences.

  • Achieve personal growth and build self-esteem.

The connection between you and your therapist—known as the therapeutic alliance—is the most important predictor of success in therapy. It's essential that you feel safe, heard, and understood.

If you don't feel a strong connection after a few sessions, we encourage you to discuss this openly with your therapist. This conversation can often be therapeutic in itself and may strengthen the relationship. However, if it still doesn't feel like the right fit, it is perfectly okay to ask for a change. Our goal is for you to succeed, and we will happily help you find another therapist in our practice who may be a better match for your personality and needs.

Your first session is an "intake" appointment, which is a structured conversation for us to get to know each other. Think of it as a two-way interview to make sure we're a good fit.

Your therapist will ask questions about what brought you to therapy, your personal history, and what you hope to achieve. This helps us get a complete picture of your unique situation. This is also your time to ask questions about your therapist’s approach, experience, or anything else on your mind.

You won't be expected to solve everything or dive into your deepest issues right away. The main goal is to build a connection, review practice policies, and create a preliminary plan for our work together. It's completely normal to feel a little nervous, and we're here to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Most insurance plans offer mental and behavioral health benefits, but coverage can vary significantly depending on your specific plan. We are in-network with many major insurance providers, which helps to make therapy more affordable.

Here’s a breakdown of how it typically works:

  • In-Network: If we are in-network with your insurance, you are usually responsible for a copay (a fixed fee) or coinsurance (a percentage of the cost) after you've met your annual deductible.

  • Out-of-Network: If we are not in-network with your plan, you would pay our full private pay rate at the time of service. We can then provide you with a detailed receipt, called a "superbill," which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

The best way to know for sure is to call your insurance provider. Look for the member services or behavioral health phone number on the back of your insurance card and ask these questions:

  • Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?

  • What is my annual deductible, and have I met it yet?

  • What is my copay or coinsurance for a therapy session?

  • Do I need pre-authorization before my first appointment?

Our administrative staff is happy to help you understand this process and verify your benefits before your first session.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, as the duration of therapy is a highly individual process. The timeline depends entirely on your unique circumstances, the complexity of your goals, and the nature of the challenges you're facing.

Here's a general guide to help you understand what to expect:

  • Short-Term Therapy (a few months): For specific, well-defined issues like managing stress for an upcoming event, navigating a single life transition, or learning a particular coping skill, you might find significant progress in a relatively short period.

     
  • Long-Term Therapy (a year or more): For more complex or long-standing issues, such as healing from deep-rooted trauma, changing lifelong patterns of behavior, or ongoing personal growth, therapy can be a longer journey.

Ultimately, therapy lasts as long as it is useful to you. You and your therapist will collaborate to set goals and will regularly check in on your progress. The decision to end therapy is a joint one, made when you feel you have made meaningful progress and have the tools to move forward confidently.

Please contact our office directly so we can review any out-of-pocket costs and work with you to create a plan that best fits your individual needs and circumstances.

Appointments can range from as often as weekly to monthly depending on your need for therapeutic support. Your therapist will make recommendations about what may be most appropriate to ensure that your needs are met.

You can reach out to us in whatever way feels most helpful for you; our client care coordinator is waiting to hear from you.
