If you’re in crisis

If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency room. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7. Positive Reset is an outpatient clinic and is not a 24/7 crisis line.

New Jersey residents can also reach the NJ Hopeline at 1-855-654-6735, a state-funded peer-support service for emotional distress.

Depression is more than feeling sad — it's a treatable medical condition involving persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, and changes in sleep or appetite that interfere with daily life for at least two weeks. About 8% of U.S. adults experience a major depressive episode each year, per the National Institute of Mental Health. Most people respond to evidence-based treatment: therapy alone for mild-to-moderate depression, medication or a combination for moderate-to-severe presentations, and TMS or other targeted treatments for depression that hasn't responded to standard options. At Positive Reset Eatontown, we treat depression in adults and adolescents with therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and FDA-approved transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant cases. We accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major insurance, and most new patients are seen within 7-14 days. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7.

How we treat depression

Our team uses evidence-based approaches matched to your specific situation. Common treatment paths:

Insurance and cost

Care for depression is covered by NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) — all 5 MCOs at $0 out-of-pocket for most members. Most major commercial plans also cover therapy and psychiatry under the federal Mental Health Parity Act. We verify your benefits in writing before your first visit — no surprises.

Common questions about depression

  • 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 you offer TMS therapy?

    Yes. We offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for adults with treatment-resistant depression — meaning depression that hasn't responded to at least two adequate trials of antidepressant medication. A typical TMS course is 5 days a week for 4–6 weeks. Most insurance plans cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression with prior authorization; we handle that paperwork.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What should I do if I'm in crisis right now?

    Call or text 988 — the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It's free, available 24/7, and staffed by trained counselors. If you're in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Positive Reset Eatontown is an outpatient clinic — we don't provide 24/7 crisis services, but we'll see you within a week for follow-up care once you're safe.
  • What if I'm having thoughts of suicide?

    Call or text 988 right now. Talk to someone trained to help. If you're in immediate danger, call 911. Once you're safe, call us at (732) 724-1234 and we'll set up an outpatient follow-up — usually within a week. We work closely with hospital emergency departments and partial hospitalization programs across Monmouth and Middlesex counties for transitions of care.
