Dr. Susan Posada founded Nature's Oak Counseling with the intention of helping people improve relationships while taking the stigma out of mental health. We believe we all have mental health issues at times because we all have a human brain. The brain is the main control center of our CHOICES, FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, BEHAVIOR, and is in a constant feedback loop with the body and surrounding energy. People deserve to to have the tools needed to be in charge of their lives through self mastery.
We provide collaborative care with our diverse group of professionals who will support you in meeting your goals. We want to attend to all aspects of health. Providing an integrative approach to well-being leads to a fulfilling life and ultimate satisfaction. The path to ultimate health includes the mind-body-spirit connection, while accepting others.
Couples counseling can help you have a more fulfilling, loving relationship based on the foundation of a trust and respect. If you are in a committed relationship it is never, to soon to seek help. Unfortunately, many people find counseling as a last resort to making their relationship work. Instead couples may have prevented much agony and pain had they sought help sooner.
Families seek counseling to resolve conflict and enrich their relationships with their children, spouse, siblings, and parents. Family counseling allows for everyone to have a voice in the family so they can play a part in improving communication and promote closer, richer relationships.
Dr. Susan helps clients achieve their goals by taking a non-pathological perspective and views clients problems in the context of their lives and relationships. As a team, she and her clients collaborate to break problematic patterns of behavior, develop new coping strategies, increase self confidence, address life style issues, and improve relationships, heal from trauma, manage addictions.
Several types types of grief counseling are offered ie. divorce, lost hope, death of a loved one, to name a few. In addition, a specialized type of therapy that we offer for loss of a loved one was developed by Dr. Allan Botkin; IADC Therapy is a brief, intensive intervention for grieving clients. As a derivative of EMDR Therapy, and implements vital changes to the standard EMDR protocol to target clients’ sadness associated with their loss. In a majority of cases, clients will experience a perception of connection with their deceased loved-one, resulting in a profoundly healing transformation of their grief.
Counseling with a postpartum therapy specialist helps women to face many challenges as they adapt to changes associated with having a new baby. The joys of having a baby are often experienced as more difficult than most women anticipate. Bringing a baby into the family is naturally stressful. Unfortunately, many women blame themselves, struggle to adjust, are embarrassed to share their emotional experiences, and, ultimately, leads to isolation. Counseling assists with adjustment and quickens the path for a new mother's mood to improve.
