Anxiety is a normal stress response that becomes a treatable condition when it's persistent, hard to control, and getting in the way of your daily life. About one in three U.S. adults will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime — National Institute of Mental Health. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias, and they often respond well to evidence-based treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy. At Positive Reset Eatontown, we treat anxiety in adults and teens with therapy, medication management, or a combination, depending on what's most helpful for the specific pattern of symptoms. We accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major insurance, and most new patients are seen within 7-14 days of their first call. The first visit is a 60-90 minute evaluation; the clinician and you decide together what treatment plan will work best for the next few months.

Common questions about anxiety
What conditions do you treat at Positive Reset Eatontown?
We treat a full range of outpatient mental health conditions: anxiety disorders, depression (including treatment-resistant), bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders alongside mental health (dual diagnosis), and adjustment-related issues. We see adults, adolescents (13+), couples, and families. We do not provide inpatient or 24/7 crisis care.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.Can I switch therapists if it's not a good fit?
Yes. Therapeutic fit matters more than credentials, and we make switching easy — call our intake team and we'll match you with a different clinician. About 1 in 6 first matches don't click; this is normal, and switching does not delay treatment by more than a week or two.Do you do online therapy or telehealth?
Yes. We offer telehealth (video) therapy and psychiatry across all of New Jersey. Telehealth works for most outpatient mental health concerns; some psychiatric evaluations and most TMS sessions require in-person visits. Insurance generally covers telehealth at the same rate as in-person care. If you live anywhere in New Jersey, we can see you online — see [telehealth in New Jersey](/services/telehealth-new-jersey/).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.How do I book my first appointment?
Call (732) 724-1234, or use the booking form on this site. The first call takes 10–15 minutes — we verify insurance, ask about your concern, and match you with the right clinician. We confirm your first appointment by phone or email within 24 business hours.
