OFFICE HOURS AND HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT:
Therapy Tree LLC services are available by appointment only. Initial appointments can be made by contacting (732) 688-0345.

Before and after office hours are available upon parent request.
**CANCELLATION and DISCONTINUANCE FROM SERVICES POLICY:
This office requires 24 hours notice for cancellations. You will be charged half of the fee of the session. In addition, you will be charged half of the fee if you do not show for a confirmed appointment. Should you miss three consecutive visits it will be considered that you are not in adherence or compliance with your plan of care, and will be discharged from this office.
PATIENT PUNCTUALITY:
Please come on time. It’s YOUR session and we want you to get every minute of it. Most times therapists/staff will have another child scheduled right after so we will not be able to extend your time.
DURING YOUR VISIT:
All parents are asked to wait in the waiting room. Typically we will meet your child and walk them to the treatment room. However, if your child has difficulties with transitions, we may ask you to walk your child to the treatment room. Good points for staying during the session: asking questions, parent education, being a support for your child. Good points for leaving during the session: Child is not tempted to be silly or show off, child is not distracted, child does not look to parent to “save” him/her from hard work, and parent gets some respite.
*Our therapists will use their best clinical judgment and advise you what is in the best interest of your child.
**Our therapists end sessions 5 minutes early to speak to parents about the session and answer any questions you may have.
** Parents can come in to the TX. room 5 minutes prior to the end of the session to ask any questions or for parent education. This is usually advised to maintain confidentiality
