Welcome!

Since we opened our doors in 1985, South Shore Counseling and Psychological Services has always been focused on developing our patients' sense of emotional well-being, and restoring quality of life to the children, adolescents, adults, and families we work with.

What We Do

Our outstanding clinical staff consist of 50 psychotherapists: psychologists, mental health counselors, and social workers. We strive to ensure that balance and happiness are restored to the lives of the individuals, children, and families with whom we work. We also interface with school personnel, families, and other medical professionals whenever necessary in order to provide the most comprehensive treatment possible. Everyone values the health and happiness of their loved ones, and at South Shore Counseling and Psychological Services, our primary mission is to help you restore health, happiness and balance to your own life, as well as the lives of your loved ones.
