AphasiaCo works with anyone impacted by a brain injury and aphasia. I work with the person with aphasia, caregivers / care partners, and loved ones.

This means sessions can be 1:1 with the person with aphasia, 1:1 with the care partner, or as a group with the person with aphasia and their care partner together.

I encourage loved ones to join sessions!

AphasiaCo does not have a clinic. I provide in-home sessions or online sessions, and you can mix them.

I come to homes in Hudson County and southeastern Bergen County (Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, Union City, West New York, North Bergen, Secaucus, Bayonne, Fort Lee, Edgewater, Cliffside Park, and Palisades Park). I go further for longer single visits, including parts of Essex, Union, and Passaic. Tell me where you are and I'll tell you honestly whether the drive works.

Online sessions are available anywhere in New Jersey. You'll need a computer or tablet and an internet connection (and if getting that set up is its own hurdle, say so, we can sort it out on the first call).

I'm licensed in New Jersey, so for now that's who I can work with. If you're just over a border, reach out anyway and I'll tell you where things stand.

Online appointments have many benefits:

- Convenience → you save time by not traveling to a clinic.

- Easy to access → you don’t need to worry about finding a ride.

- Flexibility → you can fit therapy around your schedule.

- Safety → if the weather is bad or you’re recovering from a cold, you can still have your session from the comfort of home.

- Personalized → you can work in your own home and show examples of your daily activities.

The initial evaluation is approximately 60-90 minutes where we will discuss your background and needs. You will receive a written report afterward.

Treatment sessions are approximately 45 minutes, although the time may be shortened or expanded depending on your needs.

It depends! We will discuss your needs and find a plan that works for you.

Generally, more traditional speech therapy (exercises, etc) will be once or twice per week to address a treatment plan.

Counseling and life participation therapy can be done on an as-needed basis. This might be only 1-2 sessions or could be on a more long term basis. We will make a plan together.

I am out-of-network. Upon request, I can give you an invoice receipt (a.k.a. “superbill”) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.

I understand that cost a real barrier for a lot of families (it's part of why I’m building lower-cost resources too). If cost is a barrier, please reach out to discuss options.

Before services begin, you will receive a “good faith estimate” outlining expected cost of treatment for your specific needs.

Service cost depends on several factors including session length, how frequently we meet, and travel surcharge for in-home visits.
