How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling with any aspect of your mental health, relationships or daily life, therapy can be a valuable tool. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy — many people seek support simply to better understand themselves, improve coping skills or enhance their overall well-being. If you’re unsure, we can discuss your needs during an initial consultation.

Can therapy help my child or teenager?

Yes. I work with children and adolescents to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, ADHD, social difficulties, school stress and family conflicts. I also collaborate with parents to provide guidance on supporting their child’s emotional and behavioral development.

What if my partner or family member doesn’t want to attend therapy?

While it can be helpful for loved ones to participate in therapy, it is not always necessary. I can still work with you individually to explore strategies for improving communication, setting boundaries or navigating challenges within your relationships. If it becomes beneficial to involve family members or partners, we can discuss that option.

What types of clients do you work with?

I work with children, adolescents, adults and parents. My areas of expertise include anxiety, OCD, depression, stress, low self-esteem, behavioral challenges, ADHD and learning disabilities, developmental disorders, parenting difficulties, relationship conflicts, health-related concerns, family dynamics and eating disorders.

What therapeutic approaches do you use?

I use an integrative approach, meaning I draw from several evidence-based treatment modalities to tailor therapy to your specific needs. These approaches may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – focusing on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

• Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring past experiences and patterns to better understand current challenges.

• Interpersonal Therapy – improving relationship dynamics and communication skills.

• Family Systems Therapy – addressing family dynamics and relational challenges.

What is the length of therapy and session frequency?

The length of therapy varies depending on the nature of your concerns, goals, and progress. Some clients find brief, solution-focused therapy to be helpful, while others benefit from longer-term support. We will regularly review your progress and discuss the appropriate length of treatment for your needs.

Additionally, session frequency is tailored to your individual needs. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, though some may benefit from more or less frequent sessions depending on their circumstances. We will discuss what feels most appropriate for you and adjust as needed.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share in session will remain private, with a few exceptions required by law, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others or in cases of suspected child or elder abuse. I will review confidentiality policies in detail during your intake session.

Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, I can provide you with a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network mental health benefits.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by contacting me directly via phone (973-500-8431) or email (pkamdar@rorpsych.com). Alternatively, you can use the contact form on this website, and I will get back to you as soon as possible to schedule a time that works for you.
