A complimentary 15-minute phone consultation for new clients considering online therapy. I'm also now offering in-person sessions in Texas — schedule a free call and we can talk. I'm an LCSW in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas, and an LCADC in New Jersey; all sessions are delivered via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
Request a free consultwhat happens on the call
In this 15-minute consultation, we'll briefly discuss what's bringing you in and explore whether my approach aligns with what you're looking for. I'll ask a few questions to understand your current challenges, share more about how I work, and answer any questions you may have.
Just as important, I'll be assessing whether I'm the right fit for you — because the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful work. If it feels like a good fit, the next step is to schedule a full assessment session, and any required paperwork is sent to you electronically to complete in advance.
A conversation, not a commitment. The consultation is free, and there's no obligation to continue.

Email and text are for scheduling only and are not fully secure. Please don't include clinical detail here — just enough for me to follow up.
communication & confidentiality
Your privacy matters. Email and text should be used for scheduling purposes only, as they are not fully secure forms of communication.
Please also note that confidentiality formally begins once we've agreed to work together and completed the necessary consent forms. If you're in crisis, this contact form is not monitored in real time — call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
With care, Shayan Salar, LCSW, LCADC.
