What people call about

People call after a hard year, a breakup, a loss that hasn't eased, or with something that has been wrong for a long time. Some bring something they've never said out loud. Others have been anxious or low for months, or are coming to therapy for the first time. You don't need a crisis or a diagnosis to book.

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Grief and loss
  • Life adjustments
  • LGBTQIA+ issues
  • Trauma. Bindu Varughese, LMFT, is the clinician trained in EMDR.

If addiction is part of what's going on, see addiction counseling. If you're booking for a teenager, start with teen therapy.

How sessions work

Therapists here are trained in evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behavior feed each other. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for handling intense feelings. The practice is systemic and grounded in marriage and family therapy, which means your therapist considers your situation in the context of your relationships and your history.

Getting started

  1. Book the free 15-minute phone consultation. You say what's going on and ask any questions you have.
  2. Afterwards, the practice recommends the therapist whose specialty, schedule and price point fit what you described.
  3. You meet that therapist for a first session and take it from there.

Sessions happen in person in Flemington, or online anywhere in New Jersey. Some individual clients choose walk-and-talk therapy.

Common questions


Do I need a diagnosis to start?

No. Therapists here are fully licensed to diagnose, and they do when a diagnosis is required or when it would help you understand what is happening. The work doesn't start there. You can begin by putting your situation into your own words, and any decision about diagnosis can come later.

How much does it cost, and do you take insurance?

Prologue is a self-pay practice and doesn't participate in insurance panels. The biller can check your out-of-network benefits before treatment starts and file claims on your behalf. Reimbursement comes after your deductible is met. Rates vary by therapist, and you hear the exact rate before you commit to anything.

Is what I say private?

Yes. What you say stays between you and your therapist. The exceptions are narrow, and the law sets them: abuse of a child or an elderly person, a plan to hurt yourself or someone else, or a judge's subpoena. Your therapist goes through all of this in a first session.
