Stress Care of New Jersey, LLC is a licensed outpatient behavioral health and addiction treatment organization with four New Jersey locations: Matawan (4122 Route 516), Manalapan (500 Park Avenue), Somerset (61 Veronica Avenue), and Toms River (111 W Water Street). The organization holds state licensure, Medicare certification, and Joint Commission accreditation, signaling compliance with recognized standards for outpatient behavioral health care. Office hours across locations are Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 4 PM.
Clinical staff includes psychiatrists, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed professional counselors. The practice delivers a wide range of outpatient services: psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, couples and marriage counseling, and grief counseling. The multi-disciplinary staffing model allows the organization to address both psychiatric medication needs and psychotherapeutic treatment without requiring clients to seek separate providers for each.
Specialized programs include the Dream Catchers adolescent intensive outpatient program, adult intensive outpatient programs, and adult partial care programs. Substance use services encompass outpatient substance abuse treatment along with adolescent and adult intensive outpatient substance abuse programs and adult partial care services for substance use disorders. A Behavioral Health Home program is listed as an additional service, and telehealth options are available for clients who cannot attend in person.
The practice accepts multiple insurance plans and offers self-pay options. A patient portal and online bill pay system are available to clients. The organization’s stated mission focuses on delivering “effective and accessible integrated patient-centered care” to support healthy lives and safe communities. The range of outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial care levels allows clients to receive services calibrated to their current level of need without stepping up to inpatient or residential care. Services at the Manalapan location are noted as currently expanding, and the practice is recruiting additional clinical staff. Contact: phone (732) 679-4500; fax (732) 679-4549.
