Counseling & Medication Management
Individual counseling is an opportunity to meet with a clinician in person or via telehealth to discuss treatment, set personal goals, and work through challenges. Our clinicians are skilled at developing personalized strategies focused on problem resolution and recovery. People seek outpatient therapy for a wide variety of reasons, including but not limited to:
- Coping with stressful life changes and situations
- Support to overcome substance use disorders
- Managing serious mental health challenges
The length of time a client and therapist work together varies depending on unique needs and individual goals.
In some instances, medication can be an integral part of the therapeutic process when combined with counseling. Our prescribers can help individuals navigate this process through a unified and integrated treatment plan.

Group Therapy
Riverside Outpatient Centers provide many opportunities for people to engage in group therapy. Groups are facilitated by professionals and can serve as time for participants to give and receive peer support. Peer support often helps individuals recognize they are not alone in their struggles and learn coping strategies that have worked well for others.
Riverside TeleCare
Riverside TeleCare is a service for clients who cannot or prefer not to visit an Outpatient Center. Our experienced mental health clinicians will provide you with the same experience you would have coming into one of our offices – in a secure, HIPPA-compliant, virtual environment. And if needed, we can also link you to the full spectrum of Riverside’s behavioral health services. This service is for Massachusetts residents only. If you are interested in learning more about virtual TeleCare therapy, please visit riversidetelecare.org/.
