Getting to know Erin Oaster

My name is Erin Oaster. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York State. I am committed to a collaborative approach and to fostering healthy relationships for my clients --both with themselves and others. My approach I believe in utilizing an authentic and non-judgmental therapeutic style. I commonly use cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and a system perspective. I tailor my theoretical approaches to therapy based on what the client is presenting. My focus I have experience working with children, teens, college students, young adults, and adults. I am able to provide individual, couples, and family therapy. My interests are in helping my clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family conflict, trauma, grief, life transitions, or just feeling stuck. My communication style I believe therapy should be a safe space to process and collaborate together in a warm and empathetic environment. I utilize a strength-based, client-centered style of therapy. My journey to therapy When entering graduate school in 2014, I was mostly interested in pursuing a career in psychology research. After taking several classes that involved role-play therapy with my peers, I felt a natural pull toward connecting with people through dialogue, curiosity, and warmth. I enrolled in a two-year internship in 2015 providing therapy in a community-based clinic and have since worked in various counseling settings, all of which have been profoundly fulfilling and enriching. My goals for you During the intake process, I will ask clients about their initial goals for therapy. Throughout our work together, I will check in about progress and help clients identify any areas that need extra attention and care. My job is to collaborate with clients to make sure they are achieving their therapeutic goals.
