Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer in-person and online appointments?
Yes. Augustina sees patients in person at our Cranford office — 20 Commerce Dr, Suite 135, Cranford, NJ 07016 — and by secure telehealth for patients located anywhere in New Jersey. Many patients mix the two.
Is a psychiatric nurse practitioner the same as a psychiatrist?
Not the same training, but the same outpatient job. A board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) is licensed in New Jersey to evaluate, diagnose, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medication. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. For outpatient care — evaluations, medication management, and follow-ups — the scope is broadly comparable, and PMHNPs provide a large share of psychiatric care in the U.S. More about Augustina’s credentials.
What insurance do you accept?
Bethel is in-network with Aetna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna & Evernorth, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Medicare, AmeriHealth, TRICARE, and Wellpoint / Amerigroup. Plans change often, so call to confirm your specific plan. Self-pay, sliding-scale fees, and superbills for out-of-network reimbursement are also available.
Do you prescribe and manage medication?
Yes. Augustina provides psychiatric evaluations, prescribes when appropriate, and manages medication with regular follow-ups — often alongside therapy. Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy you choose. See adult psychiatry.
Do you see children and teenagers?
Yes. Bethel sees children from age 5, teenagers, adults, and seniors. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian starts with a free consultation call. See child & teen care.
How do I book my first appointment?
Send a request through the appointment form and we’ll call you back within one business day, or call (908) 258-1939 for a free 15-minute consultation. No referral is needed.
Is my information private?
Yes. In-person visits take place in a private office, and telehealth sessions run on a secure, confidential platform. Your health information is protected under HIPAA. Please don’t include medical details in the website form — we’ll discuss your care privately by phone.
Is your care faith-based?
Augustina’s care is Christian and faith-based, and your beliefs can be part of your care if you want them to be. Faith is never required — people of every faith and none are welcome, treated the same, and receive evidence-based care.
