We are a professional mental health counseling practice located near the beautiful beaches of North Carolina

Philosophy

Sometimes the struggles and pains we experience lead us to better places as we learn to overcome and persevere.

 At Oceanside, we have learned a tremendous amount from personal experience, both from the good and the bad.

 Most importantly, like many of you, we have learned to overcome in the face of adversity, struggle, and difficulty. 

 As the old saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

 We specialize in areas we are passionate about and have gained knowledge of both personally and professionally.

 We feel this benefits the therapeutic process tremendously.

Approach

Our approach begins with the important recognition that individuals and families are inherently different.

We all have different stories, upbringings, experiences, norms, comforts, and skill-sets.

Sometimes we subconsciously perform behaviors and actions that bring repetitious negative experiences.

Identifying these behaviors and their causes is part of a transformative process and a step towards positive change.

We are determined to meet you where you are and to help you identify the things that you can change.

Together, we will identify problem areas and establish goals.

The outcome of these goals will be determined by your efforts and we will support you throughout the process.
