OCD and Anxiety Aftercare Group

This group is for those dealing with Anxiety and OCD and focuses on offering specific support for those struggling with these disorders. Garrett, the group facilitator, worked at the Rogers Behavioral Health OCD and Anxiety Residential program prior to joining Shoreside Therapies. The group will have regular topics prepared by Garrett, but will also allow for group processing.

Introducing Video Counseling

We understand that getting to our office may not always be convenient. You may be out of town, bogged down by traffic, sick, or just caught up in Wisconsin weather. We would like to offer Skype or FaceTime appointments to make your life a little easier. Keep in mind that a good wifi connection will help and please be in a private setting to protect your confidentiality. If choosing Skype or FaceTime please let your therapist know to discuss policies and procedures.
