Therapy at Positive Reset Eatontown is one-on-one or family-based talk treatment delivered by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), or psychologist. Most patients work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions in 12-20 weekly sessions, though length varies by goals. We use evidence-based modalities — CBT, DBT, EMDR for trauma, and others — matched to the specific concern. Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Therapy is available in person at our Eatontown office and via telehealth across all of New Jersey. We accept NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major commercial insurance; for self-pay, individual therapy is $150 per session with a sliding-scale option.

Common questions about therapy
What is the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist?
A therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PhD, PsyD) provides talk therapy — sessions where you work through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, or EMDR. Therapists do not prescribe medication. A psychiatrist (MD, DO) is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health — they evaluate, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medications. At Positive Reset Eatontown, both work together when needed.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.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.What credentials should I look for in a therapist?
Any of these are appropriate for outpatient therapy in New Jersey: LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), PsyD (Doctor of Psychology), PhD (clinical psychologist). For medication, look for MD, DO, or APN with psychiatric specialty. Master's-level clinicians under supervision (LSW, LAC, LAMFT) provide good care with appropriate oversight. ---
