Counseling & Mental Health Services in Union, NJ
Two Offices Within Reach of Union Township
Union Township sits at a crossroads — the Garden State Parkway, Route 22’s retail corridor, I-78 — and that central position works in your favor: Union residents are within a short drive of two Total Family Solutions offices. Our West Orange office at 80 Main Street is about twenty minutes north, and our Avenel office on St. Georges Avenue is a straight run down the Parkway. Choose whichever fits your commute, or skip the drive entirely with telehealth.
We see a lot of what makes Union, Union: households near Connecticut Farms and Galloping Hill balancing multiple jobs and generations under one roof, commuters grinding Route 22 and Parkway traffic daily, and Kean University students managing coursework, finances, and everything else at once. Our weekday hours until 8 p.m. and Saturday availability exist because five o’clock appointments do not work for most of this township.
Our licensed therapists work with children, teens, adults, couples, and first responders, and our psychiatric providers handle evaluations and medication management within the same practice. For Union youth who need intensive support, state-contracted In-Community clinicians come directly to your home.

Questions From Union Families
Which office should Union residents use?
Whichever is easier for you. West Orange (80 Main Street, Suite 410) is about 20 minutes north; Avenel (1500 St. Georges Avenue, Suite E) is about 15 minutes south on the Parkway. Both offer the same services, and telehealth is always an option.
I’m a Kean University student. Can I be seen without a car?
Yes. Most of our student clients use telehealth — all you need is a private space and a device. If you prefer in-person care, our offices are reachable by NJ Transit connections, and we will help you figure out logistics when you call.
Do you offer evening appointments for commuters?
Yes — weekday sessions run as late as 8 p.m., and Saturdays until 5 p.m. Many Union commuters alternate telehealth on long days with in-person visits on lighter ones.
What insurance plans do you accept?
Horizon BCBS NJ, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare Part B, New Jersey Medicaid and NJ FamilyCare MCO plans, and many others — see our insurance page for the complete list.
