About Joseph
Joseph is the Clinical Director at Positive Reset Eatontown and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dual-licensed as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). He has more than fifteen years of experience treating adults and adolescents with co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions, with particular focus on trauma, PTSD, and family dynamics around addiction.
Joseph's clinical work centers on patients whose primary mental health diagnosis is complicated by substance use — not as a moral failing, but as something that often started as self-medication for trauma, anxiety, or depression. Treatment integrates trauma-focused therapy with relapse-prevention work, family systems where appropriate, and close coordination with prescribing clinicians when medication is part of the plan. Most patients see Joseph weekly for the first phase of treatment, with sessions tapering to bi-weekly or monthly as stability returns.
As Clinical Director, Joseph oversees clinical operations across the practice and serves as the medical reviewer for clinical content on this site. He works with patients in person at the Eatontown office and via telehealth across New Jersey, and accepts NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) and most major commercial insurance.
