Benefits of Individual Counseling for Adults
Individual therapy at Snead Psychological Services is designed to provide you with personalized, confidential, and effective mental health support. Here’s how the process works:
Initial Consultation:
Your journey begins with an initial consultation where you’ll meet with me, Dr. Alex Snead. This consultation is all about understanding your needs, concerns, and goals for therapy. It’s an opportunity to ask questions and determine if we are a good fit for each other.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on your initial consultation, I will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will outline your goals and the therapeutic approaches that will be used to help you achieve them. I use evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs.
Regular Therapy Sessions:
Therapy sessions typically occur weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs and preferences. Each session lasts about 50 minutes. During these sessions, you’ll explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The safe and confidential setting allows you to discuss sensitive issues openly.
Collaborative Process:
Individual therapy at Snead Psychological Services is a collaborative process. I actively listen, provide insights, and work with you to develop strategies and skills to manage your challenges. You are an active participant in your therapy, and your feedback is crucial to the process.
Progress Evaluation:
Throughout your therapy journey, your progress will be regularly evaluated. I will help you reflect on the changes and improvements you’ve made and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure you continue to move towards your goals.
Ongoing Support:
Even after you achieve your initial goals, I offer ongoing support to help you maintain your mental health and well-being. This could include less frequent check-in sessions or transitioning to a different type of support if necessary.
