OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) is a treatable mental health condition involving intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) intended to reduce the distress those thoughts cause. About 1.2% of U.S. adults have OCD in any given year, per National Institute of Mental Health data, with 50% of cases categorized as severe. The first-line evidence-based treatment for OCD is a specific form of cognitive-behavioral therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), often combined with SSRI medication. At Positive Reset Eatontown, we treat OCD with ERP, broader cognitive-behavioral approaches, and medication management. We accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major insurance. The first visit is a 60-90 minute evaluation; treatment typically runs 16-20 sessions for moderate OCD, longer for severe presentations. Both in-person and telehealth visits are available across all of New Jersey.

Common questions about ocd
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.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.
