Improve Your Mental Well-Being Through Adult Therapy

The hurdles of adulthood can make anyone feel overwhelmed, lost, afraid, lonely, and stuck. These feelings are, unfortunately, widespread in adults in the U.S. 10 million adults in the country experience seasonal depression every year, while 57.8 million live with some form of mental illness. When left untreated, these problems can continue to affect your psychological and physical health, feelings, thoughts, and behavior.

At Snead Psychological Services, I believe that attending to mental health should be as common as caring for your physical health through healthy eating and exercise. By utilizing a range of therapeutic approaches, I have created a safe space for you to share your experiences and get the help you require through our adult therapy services.

Benefits of Adult Therapy

The pressure of maintaining relationship dynamics, social expectations, and career choices can increase emotional challenges and stress for adults, particularly when you don’t have adequate social support.

With adult therapy services, you can decrease the unhelpful self-talk and learn to be more kind to yourself. It can help you improve relations, foster personal growth, and nurture resiliency.

Whether you are experiencing severe mental health issues or a mild bump on the road, the following are a few of the benefits you can enjoy from adults therapy:

  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of yourself

  • Resolve mental health issues

  • Improve self-esteem and communication skills

  • Improve relationships with loved ones

  • Relief from excessive anxiety, shame, and guilt

  • Discover inner strength and stimulate personal growth

  • Ease considerable transitions in life

  • Learn how to manage difficult emotions, reduce feelings of sadness, cope with stress, sleep more effectively, and identify unhelpful thinking

Addressing Common Struggles In Adult Therapy

I don’t believe that one should seek counseling for adults only when there’s a major crisis. Anxiety, depressive episodes, and other psychological issues can be triggered by even minor life transitions.

With a personalized approach to counseling, I help individuals navigate through all types of major and minor psychological struggles, including the following.

Anxiety

Has stress started to take control of your life? Are you tired of dealing with panic attacks, irritability, and problems at work? Our online and in-person adult therapy services can help you understand the root of your worries, slow your racing thoughts, and regain control of your life.

Hair pulling/Skin picking

Being under tremendous stress and anxiety can sometimes lead to obsessively pulling out hair (Trichotillomania) or picking your skin (Dermatillomania). At Snead Psychological Services, I use a variety of methods including Cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize the triggers and seek substitute behaviors instead.

Depression

Depression can pull you away from your loved ones and the things you loved to do the most. It can make you feel guilty while holding you from giving your best. Fortunately, there is a way to get out of this unhelpful state of mind, and our adult therapy can help.

Tics

Tic disorders can be challenging to manage, but there is effective treatment available. I specialize in offering Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), a proven therapy approach endorsed by the Tourette Association of America. CBIT focuses on understanding the underlying triggers and urges associated with tics and teaches practical techniques to manage and reduce tic symptoms.

Insomnia

Sleep deprivation or insomnia can not only disrupt your lifestyle but deteriorate your physical health as well. At Snead Psychological Services, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to treat short-term and chronic insomnia and help you get your sleep cycle back on track.

Relationship Struggles

Experiencing problems in your relationship is expected. But it doesn’t have to become a prolonged issue. I help our clients express their feelings, set boundaries, and communicate their problems to allow both parties to achieve a fulfilling relationship.
