FAQs

We’ve answered the most common questions about starting treatment at Nema so that you can have full confidence in your decision.

How soon can I begin treatment?

It typically takes 1-2 weeks between your free 20-minute consultation and starting treatment. During this time, you will complete an Intake Evaluation with a licensed clinician to determine if Nema is the right fit. If so, you will be matched with a Peer Mentor — someone who has lived experience with PTSD and is now in recovery. We encourage you to meet with your dedicated Peer Mentor before starting CPT treatment so that you can learn more about what to expect from someone who's been there before.

What therapeutic approach do you use?

We use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the front-line treatment for PTSD that's been proven to work for a range of traumas. The therapy is centered around "stuck points”, or painful trauma-related beliefs that one may hold about themselves or the world around them. By challenging and revising these distorted views, CPT can alleviate PTSD's grip and allow for integration of healthier beliefs into one’s daily interactions. CPT is generally 10-12 sessions and focuses on building practical skills that help survivors reframe painful trauma-related thoughts.

Can a loved one be involved in my treatment?

While our intensive treatment is delivered one-on-one, we offer all patients the opportunity to book a Support System Session. During this session, your therapist will help teach your loved one a bit about PTSD and how it may impact their relationship with you. Through psychoeducation, we will let your loved one know how to best support you during our intensive treatment and beyond.

Is it required that I attend therapy sessions multiple times per week?

While some providers do Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) one time per week for a period of ~3 months, we believe in helping you find healing as soon as possible. That's why we require our patients attend sessions with their therapist 3-5 times per week. Studies have shown that intensive treatment results in rapid symptom reductions that are sustained over time.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We accept several major insurance plans including UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (BCBSNJ), Oxford, and ConnectiCare. We are happy to check whether Nema is covered as an in-network benefit under your insurance. If Nema is considered out-of-network, we can provide you with a superbill detailing the services you received for potential reimbursement from your health plan. Nema is actively continuing to add new insurance plan partners — please check back here for updates on our expansion.
