Forest Recovery and Psychiatric Group

What Forest Recovery and Psychiatric Group does

Forest Recovery and Psychiatric Group operates a state-licensed mental health outpatient clinic headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey, with approximately ten employees. The clinic delivers three integrated service lines: general mental health treatment, addiction treatment, and compulsive gambling treatment. Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary clinical team — led by a Medical Director (MD), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Clinical Director, and a Director of Substance Use Disorder Services — using evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. The practice also offers telehealth services, currently scoped to patients located in New Jersey.

The business model is insurance-based fee-for-service billing, with the clinic in-network across major commercial carriers (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar, UnitedHealthcare) and government payors (Medicaid, Medicare). Revenue is supplemented by grant-funded programs supporting gambling-disorder treatment. Patient intake and clinical workflow are operationalized through Updox, a third-party healthcare workflow platform. A referral partnership with 1800-Gambler, New Jersey's designated problem gambling helpline, channels patients into the gambling treatment service line.

The go-to-market is local and website-driven, targeting consumers in the northern New Jersey market. Leadership includes CEO Allegra Schorr, Medical Director Frederick Kahn (MD), Clinical Director John Veliky (LCSW), Administrative Director Zachary Fitch, and Director of SUD Services Dorys Murillo. No external funding rounds or ownership transactions are disclosed, indicating a privately held, founder-/operator-led practice.
