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. 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. 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's perspective. I tailor my theoretical approaches to therapy based on what the client is presenting with. 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.
