Our Approach to Therapy and Mental Health Care
At South Shore Counseling, we understand that each person brings their own history, identity, and life experiences into the therapy space. We offer individualized care designed to match each client with a therapist who fits their personality, background, and treatment goals.
Our therapists support those experiencing specific mental health conditions, as well as individuals who simply need help managing stress, navigating life transitions, or improving personal insight. We provide therapy for issues such as:
- Anxiety and chronic worry
- Depression and mood changes
- Trauma and PTSD
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- ADHD and executive functioning concerns
- Relationship stress and family conflict
- Substance use and addiction recovery support
- Disordered eating and food-related anxiety
- Grief and loss
- Parenting challenges, including child behavior and emotional regulation
Each provider at our Oakdale location has their own training and specialization, and we work collaboratively as a team to ensure that every client receives the right fit for their needs.
Therapy for Couples and Families
Mental health does not exist in a vacuum – relationships and family dynamics often play a role in how we feel and function. That’s why we also provide therapy services that support couples and families.
Our services include:
- Couples counseling and relationship support
- Premarital counseling
- Family therapy
- Divorce and separation counseling
- Co-parenting and blended family work
- Parenting education and ADHD coaching
These services are available both in-person at our Oakdale location and via telehealth when appropriate.
Therapeutic Methods and Treatment Modalities
Every individual responds differently to different types of care. Our therapists use a range of therapeutic frameworks and are trained in various modalities so that they can tailor treatment to each individual. Depending on your needs, your therapist may use approaches such as:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Psychodynamic therapy
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma
- EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)
- Gottman Method for relationship counseling
- Other integrative and evidence-informed approaches
We discuss treatment planning with you directly so that you remain informed and engaged throughout the therapy process.
