Do I have to come in person, or can I do telehealth?

Both options are available. Many clients choose in-person sessions at the Freehold office, while others prefer the flexibility of telehealth. You can also switch between the two as your needs change.

Where exactly is the office located?

The office is at 4249 US-9 North, Suite C, Freehold, NJ 07728, just off Route 9, serving clients throughout Freehold and the surrounding Monmouth County communities.

Do you accept my insurance?

Most major insurance is accepted. See the full list below, and if your plan isn't included, out-of-network documentation is available so you can submit for reimbursement.

How do I know which type of therapy is right for me?

You don't need to figure that out on your own. A consultation is a low-pressure way to talk through what you're dealing with, and Beth can help determine the best approach from there.

What should I bring to my first therapy appointment?

You don't need to prepare anything special. Some clients find it helpful to jot down what's been on their mind, but the first session is mainly about talking through what's bringing you in and getting a sense of whether the approach feels like a good fit.

Therapy in Freehold, New Jersey

Finding the right therapist can feel like its own kind of task, especially when you're already dealing with something difficult. Positive Healing and Trauma Counseling is located at 4249 US-9 North, Suite C, in Freehold, NJ, offering in-person and telehealth therapy for adults, couples, and families throughout Monmouth County. Led by Beth McGinley, LCSW, the practice provides personalized, evidence-based care for trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, life transitions, and caregiver stress.

Whether you're looking for a therapist you can meet with in person or prefer the flexibility of telehealth, sessions are structured around what works best for you.

Why Choose a Local Freehold Therapist

Choosing a therapist is about more than finding someone nearby. It's about finding someone whose approach, experience, and availability fit your needs. Having an office in Freehold also makes it easier to schedule in-person sessions when that feels most comfortable, while telehealth provides flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer meeting from home.

Is Therapy Right for You?

Many people wait longer than they need to before reaching out because they aren't sure whether their concerns are "serious enough." Therapy isn't only for people in crisis. It can also help when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or simply looking for healthier ways to manage stress and relationships.
