South Shore Counseling recently opened a second office in Port Jefferson, giving residents of the North Shore direct access to the same experienced team that has served the South Shore community from Oakdale for years. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, a difficult life transition, relationship challenges, or simply feel like you could use someone to talk to, our Port Jefferson therapists are here and accepting new patients.
There is nothing wrong with reaching out. Therapy is not just for crisis — it’s for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to understand themselves better. Call us at 631-602-0079 or fill out our online form and a member of our team will get back to you as soon as we can.
Who We Work With in Port Jefferson
South Shore Counseling works with adults, teens, and children across Long Island. Our team has a wide range of specialties, which means we can match you with a therapist whose background genuinely fits what you’re going through — rather than working with whoever happens to have an opening.
We regularly work with patients dealing with:
- Anxiety and Stress — Persistent worry, racing thoughts, panic, and the kind of anxiety that starts to interfere with daily life and relationships.
- Depression and Low Mood — Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of motivation, or difficulty finding pleasure in the things that used to matter.
- Trauma and PTSD — Distressing experiences that continue to affect how you think, feel, and relate to others long after the fact.
- Life Transitions — Divorce, job loss, grief, retirement, becoming a parent, or any significant change that has left you feeling disoriented or stuck.
- Relationship Challenges — Conflict, communication breakdowns, and patterns in relationships that keep repeating.
- Self-Esteem and Identity — Questions of self-worth, confidence, and finding meaning in your daily life.
- Child and Adolescent Issues — Behavioral concerns, anxiety, school-related struggles, and the emotional challenges that come with growing up.
No matter what brings you in, our goal is the same — to give you a space where you feel genuinely heard and to help you build the tools to move forward.
Couples Counseling in Port Jefferson
Relationship difficulties are one of the most common reasons people seek out therapy, and one of the most treatable. South Shore Counseling provides couples counseling for partners at any stage of a relationship — whether you’re working through a specific conflict, navigating a major change together, or simply feeling disconnected and looking for a way back to each other.
We are LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all couples regardless of relationship structure.
Our Approach
South Shore Counseling is a private practice, which means every patient receives individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. Our therapists draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness-based techniques, and others, depending on what fits you best.
We believe that the therapeutic relationship itself matters as much as the approach. If a therapist isn’t the right fit, we’ll work with you to find someone on our team who is.
