Shoreside Therapies
At Shoreside Therapies, we offer a boutique counseling experience. We understand that taking that first step to seek counseling can be difficult. When you reach out to us we will personally answer your call or email and schedule an appointment within a week that fits your schedule. We handle all of your insurance issues for you and inform you of all your options.

Our goal is to provide you with the highest level of psychotherapy services to improve your overall health and well-being. 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.
Services
Separation and divorce can have a devastating effect on your sense of security. It impacts both partners on every imaginable level causing anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, and hurt are just some of the feelings you have; it can be overwhelming. When that happens we tend to go into 'survival mode'. Decisions made in these emotional states can have long term negative effects on your future.
Most importantly recovery from an eating is possible. Healing your relationship with food and improving the relationship you have with your body is attainable with direction and guidance from an emotion expert (me) and a nutrition expert (dietitian). I can help connect you to some amazing certified eating disorder dietitians, which is hard to find.
Let's face it-drugs do something for us. If it didn't, no one would use them. With repeated use over time, short term relief is replaced by long term effects which becomes a problem all its own. Our natural ability to learn and incorporate new positive coping and social skills hits a brick wall; the result stifles our creativity and inhibits our growth.
Many people think of trauma as something just veterans experience. While it's true that many veterans do experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it's more common in the general population than you might expect. There are two types of trauma most people experience: the BIG T and the little t.
I have experience working with anxiety, OCD, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and PTSD. I pull strategies from the following approaches, based on individual needs: Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety disorders, Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD, and Motivational interviewing.

I've been so happy since joining this therapy practice! The atmosphere is truly unique, very relaxed yet professional. My fellow therapists are awesome and our office location is great!
I specialize in therapy with children (age 5+), teens and college students- treating mainly anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger or behavior issues, and/or ADHD.
I absolutely love my spacious office where we can work on coping skills and cognitive strategies through therapeutic art, games, books and toys; or just hang out and talk. (Our other therapists see adults and older teens).

Laurie and I have been working together for several years and I cannot say enough positive things about her! She's warm, open, easy to talk to and honestly feels like a friend that I could talk to about anything. Laurie has been an amazing mentor for me and helped me navigate business ideas and expansion. I'd highly recommend her for consultation, therapy, support or any form of self-improvement you may be looking for!

The building was nice, but the most professional person there, the person with the highest training, was who I was there to see. I even got there early. I lived super close so it wasn't a big deal. I didn't understand that I had a teleappointment until she called me and left a message, 6 minutes into the appointment time, where I just thought she was running late. Then I call her right back, tell her I'd be home in literally 4 minutes, and that I was hopping on to the platform. Most places have a 15 minute cancellation time and I communicated back to her well within it. Called her

I am thankful for Brandon Wells. I have been with Brandon for almost a year. His guidance has helped me get through very difficult situations. He listens with compassion, offers scenarios and advice that have helped me conquer many of the issues I was dealing with. He has helped me control anxiety, given me amazing advice for career and work scenarios and has helped me to learn to enjoy life more. He is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent but down to earth so I can relate to him and count on him. I look forward to talking to him every session. Brandon has put a positive stamp on my life in

I've seen Brandon for more than three years and he has helped me make profound changes to my life. Even after I moved across the country, I continue to have remote sessions because of all the progress I've made under his care. He has a strong focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, while maintaining a supportive environment. I have recommended and will continue to recommend him to anyone because of his professionalism, trustworthiness, and true dedication to his clients.

I have had anxiety on and off for a number of years. In the past year due to a perfect storm of personal issues my anxiety became really all consuming. My internist insisted I see Brandon and I am so grateful he did. I have found Brandon to be tough but compassionate. He has taught me the skills necessary to lower my anxiety and stress. I have recommended him to others without hesitation and will continue to do so.

Abandoning a client's after a trauma, with no transition plan after 14 yrs on and off,and by email no less with no warning is not okay and puts the client at risk even after multiple attempts to fix a working relationship, thus I would not recommend him. If he was willing to set a true transition or invite the client to the conversation. then that would be understandable.
he lack compassion and ethics in my viewpoint and should be closed down.
