Rutgers Center for Psychological Services
We are a state-of-the-art outpatient training center with 11 clinics, providing confidential mental health services for a wide range of populations, disorders, and difficulties. We serve children, adolescents, and adults from Rutgers University and the surrounding communities.
As part of a major research university, our faculty, supervisors, and graduate student clinicians employ the latest and most helpful methods of therapy and assessment.
Clinicians are graduate students in Rutgers University’s doctoral programs in clinical and school psychology. Our students are trained by faculty with expertise in a wide variety of therapeutic models and techniques. All clinicians are closely supervised by licensed psychologists who are skilled in the delivery of mental health services.
As part of our tradition at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), we recognize the importance of diversity and culture in the therapeutic setting, and we place a strong emphasis on these issues in both training and practice. We make every effort to conduct services in a manner that acknowledges and values clients’ unique racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Qualifying for assistance from New Jersey's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to New Jersey's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
