We have therapists with openings 7 days a week that offer a high level of care and can help you secure your appointment without waiting weeks. We understand how frustrating the mental health system can be when trying to find a therapist. We practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on setting goals that are reachable and building trust. We look forward to hearing from you. Text or call me at (631) 786-8930 to book your initial appointment. Spanish speaking therapist available.
Our therapist are trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, a form of therapy that focuses on building trust and empowering people to develop coping skills, set goals and maintain the positive changes you make during therapy. We understand therapy can be difficult and make every attempt to work with clients to set their own path and reach the goals they set.
At South Shore Psychological Care we specialize in working with individuals with anxiety and depression, couples in turmoil, parents dealing with behavioral issues, and with teen and adolescent issues. Our therapists focus on building trust, setting goals and use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to develop coping strategies and develop lasting change.
