The Deaf Community in New Jersey


The Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf in Trenton has educated Deaf New Jerseyans since 1883, and Deaf communities thrive from Bergen County to the Shore. Proximity to two big Deaf cities cuts both ways: plenty of culture nearby, but local in-state services stretched thin. Telehealth puts a New Jersey-licensed, ASL-fluent therapist in every county.


How Online ASL Therapy Works


Starting is easy. Contact us, tell us a little about what you're looking for, and we'll pair you with one of our therapists licensed in New Jersey. Every session takes place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform — no apps to figure out, no commute, no interpreter in the middle.


Insurance & Costs


Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.


Why Deaf Clients in New Jersey Choose My Deaf Therapy


With the country's largest team of ASL-fluent therapists, we match New Jersey clients by specialty, style, and identity — not just availability. And every clinician seeing clients here holds a New Jersey license, which you can confirm on the state's free license lookup. Ethics aren't a feature; they're the foundation.
