ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a treatable neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention, impulse control, and executive function. About 4.4% of U.S. adults have ADHD, per National Institute of Mental Health data, though it often goes undiagnosed into adulthood. Adult ADHD looks like trouble starting tasks, missing deadlines, restless overworking, or forgetting routine commitments — patterns that have usually been present since childhood but only became disruptive under adult demands. At Positive Reset Eatontown, we evaluate and treat adult ADHD with structured assessments (including Conners and BASC rating scales), therapy focused on executive-function skills, and medication management when indicated. Both stimulant and non-stimulant medications are available. We accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major insurance. The diagnostic evaluation is a 90-minute initial session; medication management visits are typically 30 minutes.

Clinicians who specialize in adhd
Common questions about adhd
Do you treat ADHD?
Yes. We treat ADHD in adults, teens (13+), and children when paired with family therapy. Treatment includes diagnostic evaluation, therapy (especially CBT and skills-based work), and medication management. We can assess and prescribe stimulant and non-stimulant medications. Our typical evaluation involves a 90-minute initial session plus standardized rating scales (e.g., the Conners or BASC).Do I need therapy, medication, or both?
It depends on the condition and your preferences. Mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression often respond well to therapy alone. Severe depression, bipolar disorder, severe OCD, and ADHD typically require medication, sometimes alone but more often combined with therapy. Treatment-resistant depression may benefit from TMS. We make this recommendation after the first 1–2 sessions, and you always have the final say.How long does treatment usually take?
For most outpatient mental health concerns, therapy runs 8–20 sessions over 3–6 months. Some people stay longer for ongoing support; others finish in fewer sessions. Medication is more variable — some people take an antidepressant for 6–12 months, others longer. We re-evaluate the plan every 90 days so you're not paying for sessions you don't need.What therapy modalities do your clinicians use?
We use evidence-based modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Behavioral Activation, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. Each clinician has primary modalities they're trained in — we match you to a clinician based on your concern and preferences.Will you prescribe controlled substances like Adderall or Xanax?
We can. Stimulants for ADHD (Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta) are commonly prescribed by our psychiatrists with appropriate diagnosis and monitoring. Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin) are prescribed cautiously and usually short-term, because they carry dependence risk. We follow standard clinical guidelines: we'll never refuse a medication that's clinically indicated, and we won't prescribe one that isn't. ---How long until I can be seen?
Most new patients are seen within 7–14 days of their first call. Telehealth visits often have shorter wait times than in-person. If you're in crisis, call us — we triage same-week appointments for active safety concerns where appropriate, or refer you to crisis resources if our outpatient setting isn't the right level of care.
