Psychology Practice – Behavioral Health Counseling
Behavioral Health Counseling is a psychology practice located at 467 Springfield Avenue in Summit, New Jersey, operated by Samantha Foti, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist. The practice serves clients in-person at the Summit, New Jersey office and virtually across participating PSYPACT states, with the site noting that virtual services are available in 43 of 50 U.S. states through the PSYPACT compact.
Dr. Foti’s stated areas of specialization include anxiety therapy, life transitions, and religious trauma. Her therapeutic approach is described as collaborative and active, grounded in research, with primary frameworks drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Within anxiety-focused work, the practice addresses specific concerns such as overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Life transitions services are oriented toward clients adjusting to major changes including career decisions, relationship shifts, and health challenges. Religious trauma is listed as a distinct specialty area, serving individuals in the process of leaving high-control religious environments or working through faith deconstruction and its psychological dimensions.
Sessions are typically 55 minutes in length and scheduled on a weekly basis. A complimentary 15-minute phone consultation is offered to prospective clients as an initial step in the intake process, allowing for discussion of goals, approach, and fit before committing to ongoing appointments.
Contact information includes phone (201) 473-2059 and email drfoti@bhealthcounsel.com. No information regarding insurance acceptance or specific self-pay fee rates is stated on the page.
The PSYPACT virtual option extends the practice’s geographic reach to clients across most of the United States who are seeking access to a licensed clinical psychologist and whose state participates in the interstate compact. The Summit, New Jersey office location serves clients in Union County and surrounding areas in the Garden State. The practice’s three-specialty focus on anxiety, life transitions, and religious trauma reflects a relatively defined scope, positioning it for clients whose concerns fall within those particular areas of psychological work.
