Do you have an actual office in Jupiter?
Yes. 210 Jupiter Lakes Blvd, Unit 4-201, Jupiter, FL 33458, just off Indiantown Road and minutes from I-95 and the Florida Turnpike. The practice has held a Jupiter address since 2008. Sessions happen in that room or by secure video, and you pick. A second Florida office is at 1451 W. Cypress Creek Road, Suite 300, Fort Lauderdale.
How can I tell whether a therapist listed in Jupiter is actually in Jupiter?
Look for a street address with a suite number in 33458 or 33477. A directory search for Jupiter returns 3 different things in 1 list: clinicians with a Jupiter office, clinicians in nearby cities who list Jupiter as an area served, and Florida-licensed clinicians anywhere in the state who offer video and selected Jupiter as a city they serve. The third group is the largest and it is why the counts look so big. Then ask 1 question on the phone: is the next opening in the room, or on video?
Can my therapist keep seeing me when I leave Florida for the summer?
It depends on the credential, and the answer is often no. The state you are physically sitting in during the session is the state that has to authorize your clinician. Florida psychologists can join PSYPACT, which Florida entered effective 1 July 2023, and a psychologist holding an E.Passport and an APIT can practise telepsychology into other PSYPACT states. The Social Work Licensure Compact is not issuing multistate licenses anywhere yet. The Counseling Compact began issuing privileges in a small number of states from late 2025, and Florida is not one of them. Individual therapy here is led by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, so she cannot see you while you are sitting in another state. Raise your travel pattern on the first call.
Can a therapist from another state see me while I am in Jupiter?
Only if they are registered with Florida as an out-of-state telehealth provider, or they fall inside the narrow 15-day-per-year nonresident exception in Florida law. Registration requires an active unencumbered license in another state, no discipline in the past 5 years, a Florida registered agent for service of process, and liability coverage meeting Florida standards. A registered out-of-state provider is also barred from opening a Florida office or seeing Florida patients in person.
How fast can I get a first appointment in Jupiter?
First appointments are usually available within the same week. Call (561) 834-5849 Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM or Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, or send the form on this page and the office calls you back within 1 business day. If you need to be seen today, that is a crisis route: call or text 988, dial 2-1-1, or call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.
Do you offer Saturday appointments?
Yes, Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, alongside Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Evenings are not offered. Saturday slots book first, so ask about them on the first call rather than after the weekday grid fills.
Do you take my insurance?
Fees and insurance options are confirmed when you call, before anything is booked. If your plan is out of network, the office can provide a superbill so you can request reimbursement from your insurer. Ask your insurer 3 questions first: do I have an out-of-network benefit for outpatient mental health and what is the deductible, how much of it have I met this plan year, and what percentage of the allowed amount do you reimburse for an individual psychotherapy session.
Who will I work with?
Individual therapy is led by Jessica T. Aloise, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience, inside a practice of doctoral-level psychologists founded by Dr. Cathy Colet, Psy.D., Florida license PY9058, in 2008. Ask any practice for the license number of the specific clinician you would see, then check it at the Florida Department of Health license verification portal.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what brought you in. A focused concern such as anxiety or a life transition often runs shorter than depression or trauma work, and complex trauma sits outside any published range. You and your therapist review progress at set points and decide the pace together. Treat any page that gives 1 session count for every presenting concern with suspicion.
Is therapy here confidential if I have a court case?
Usually, and not always. Florida gives you a privilege over communications made for diagnosis or treatment, with 2 exceptions that matter: there is no privilege for a court-ordered examination, and none for communications relevant to a mental or emotional condition you rely on as an element of a claim or defense. This practice is roughly 75 percent forensic and Dr. Colet is court-appointed across 5 Florida judicial circuits including the 15th, which is Palm Beach County, so tell the office about an open case on the first call and a conflict check happens before anything is booked.
