Overview

Mission

We founded center for assessment and treatment in 2009, with an eye on making mental health services available to all New Jersey residents especially those underserved by our health care system. In our experience, people with New Jersey medicaid and family care were often met with long and frustrating waits to book appointments and, later, to get the outpatient treatment they needed and deserved. Opening the center was our first step in affecting meaningful change in our home state. Through our teams hard work and dedication, weve expanded our mental health services to best meet the needs of all New Jersey residents. Despite our meteoric growth, though, we continue to be a small center at heart, providing individualized services and tailored support to every single one of our clients. To us, highly personalized care is central to what we do and how we do it and that will never change.

What it reported doing in 2025

Outpatient individuals, family and couples psychotherapy as well as education groups are currently offered to those with a mental health diagnosis, psychological assessments and adhd testing are also performed. The agency primarily serves individuals who have medicaid or are uninsured. Additionally it may assist financially in terms of providing gas cards and gift cards to local retailers on an as needed basis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
