Rubicon Mental Health is a Joint Commission-accredited behavioral health center in Watchung, New Jersey, that offers outpatient mental health treatment to individuals and families across Somerset County and Central New Jersey. Here, clients can receive evidence-based mental health treatment in a modern facility.
Rubicon Mental Health shares a building with its sister addiction treatment center on Stirling Road in Watchung, NJ, putting it near Morristown, Summit, Bridgewater, and much of Central New Jersey. The modern facility specializes in treating anxiety depression, trauma, and other behavioral health conditions using evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Rubicon is certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and accredited by the Joint Commission.
The clinical team is led by founder Laura DeMasi and Clinical Director Sarah Couture, and supported by therapists and counselors who build individualized treatment plans for each client’s unique needs. Programs include partial hospitalization for those needing more intensive daily structure, and intensive outpatient for those balancing treatment with everyday responsibilities such as work, family, and school. Individual therapy, family counseling, group sessions, holistic programming, and relapse prevention round out the array of services.
Rubicon Mental Health keeps a patient-to-staff ratio of at least one staff member for every two clients, meaning caseloads and group sizes stay small and treatment stays personal. Specialized programs are available for men, women, young adults, and professionals, so clients receive care that speaks directly to their unique needs.
