Contact Us

Making an appointment: To set up a first appointment,
simply call us at 856-722-9043 or email us at inquiry@temenoscenter.com. One
of our staff will get back to you, usually the same day. Or if you prefer
to speak with any one of us individually you can call us directly at:
- Frank Schwoeri: 856-722-9352
- Catherine Ambrose: 856-722-9043 ext. 1
- Pat Duffy: 856-722-9043 ext. 2
- Jane Fox: 856-722-9043 ext. 3
- Terry Hall: 856-722-9043 ext. 4
- Natasha Horsley: 856-220-3394
Whatever way you choose to contact us, you will speak with one of us
directly; there are no non-professional "gatekeepers" or barriers between
you and a therapist. Your relationship with a licensed mental health
professional is completely confidential from the start.
A word about insurance: We do not participate in any
managed care plans, because managed care, when it comes to mental health
care, only pays for what is basically crisis intervention. They
tend to rely preferentially on psychotropic drugs, because medication
is cheaper. Insurers have managed to eliminate paying for valid,
effective treatment for mental health and substance problems by greatly
restricting access to care. Many of our patients come to see us
after they have attempted to get adequate care through their managed care
plan, and found the limitations and restrictions (session limits, intrusions
into privacy, treatment decisions being made by reviewers without professional
training) to be frustrating and ineffectual. You should carefully
check your policy, however, because some HMO and PPO plans do have out-of-network
benefits that will reimburse some percentage of your costs for our services.
