Recovery isn’t just a mental battle — it’s emotional, physical, and social. And here’s the truth: research shows you’re TWICE as likely to maintain long-term recovery when you don’t walk the journey alone.

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our
🌿 Substance Abuse & Relapse Prevention Support Group 🌿

— A safe, supportive, and empowering space designed to help you rise, rebuild, and stay grounded through every stage of recovery.

In this group, you’ll learn real coping tools (DBT, CBT & MI), gain accountability, process triggers in a judgment-free space, and build a strong foundation for a healthier future. Most importantly? You’ll be part of a community that gets it — a place where connection becomes healing and healing becomes strength.

📅 Fridays at 6 PM (Virtual — starting January 2025)
💰 Insurance accepted
📧 info@psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com

If you’re ready to rise stronger, you don’t have to do it alone.

Your recovery community is waiting.

Celebrating National Nurses Week!

Every year, from May 6th to May 12th, we pause to honor the incredible men and women who dedicate their lives to caring for others — our nurses.

Did you know?

🩺 National Nurses Week was first celebrated in 1954, marking the 100th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s pioneering work during the Crimean War.

🌍 In 1993, the American Nurses Association (ANA) made it an official, annual celebration.

❤️ Today, nurses are recognized as the heartbeat of healthcare, blending compassion, expertise, and resilience — whether in hospitals, clinics, schools, or community care.

Let’s take a moment to thank every nurse who shows up every day with courage, empathy, and heart.

Drop a thank-you message below and help us celebrate the nurses who make healing possible!

💬 “If I just push through, it’ll get better.”
How many times have you told yourself that?

Men are taught to be strong, silent, and self-reliant — but silence doesn’t heal pain.
Therapy isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom. 💪

At SMPsychotherapy & Counseling Services, we understand the unique challenges men face — stress, anger, addiction, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, or the pressure to “keep it all together.”

Our therapists specialize in Men’s Mental Health and provide a confidential, judgment-free space where you can:

✔️ Regain control of your emotions
✔️ Heal from trauma and past hurts
✔️ Improve relationships and communication
✔️ Build resilience and purpose
✔️ Learn practical tools for daily life

You don’t have to face it alone. Real strength starts with reaching out.

10/17/2025

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month—a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind ourselves that depression is not a weakness; it’s a medical condition that can be treated.

Everyone struggles sometimes — and that’s okay.

Even when you’re doing “everything right” — therapy, medication, self-care — mental health can still fluctuate. Some days feel lighter, others heavier. What matters is recognizing when you’re struggling and knowing how to respond before things spiral.

In our latest blog, we share practical tips to help you navigate difficult days, such as:

✨ Spotting early warning signs
✨ Understanding what can worsen mental health
✨ Building daily coping tools that actually work
✨ Knowing when to reach out for help

🧠 Whether it’s anxiety, depression, grief, or burnout, remember — you don’t have to face it alone.

✨ Does Your Child Need an Autism Evaluation? ✨

As a parent, teacher, or caregiver, noticing that a child isn’t meeting milestones, struggling at school, or having trouble connecting with others can bring worry and uncertainty. You may be asking yourself:

👀 Why isn’t my child making eye contact?
🗣️ Why are they not talking or engaging with others?
📚 Why are school and daily routines so challenging?

At SMPsychotherapy & Counseling Services, we understand how overwhelming these questions can feel. That’s why we offer comprehensive Autism Spectrum Evaluations for children up to age 15. Our team looks at the whole child — their strengths, challenges, and unique personality — to provide clarity, guidance, and next steps.

💡 Early intervention is key. The sooner a child receives the right support, the more effective interventions can be in helping them grow, connect, and thrive.

We accept Medicaid, Husky, and most insurances to make this process more accessible for families.

📞 Ready to take the next step? Call us today at (203) 800-9778 or visit www.psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com to learn more.

💙 Every child is unique. Let us walk alongside your family with understanding, compassion, and the right tools for the journey ahead.

- Is your teenager going through changes that feel overwhelming?

Adolescence is a time of intense growth—and sometimes confusion. Many teens struggle with shifts in mood, behavior, and identity, and often parents feel at a loss for how to help.

That’s why we offer specialized Teen Therapy:

- A safe, judgement-free space where teens can explore their emotions, challenges, and identity on their own terms.

- One-on-one sessions tailored to help them navigate anxiety, depression, conflict, and life transitions.

- Virtual support groups available for teen girls ages 7–17 to connect, share, and grow together.

- Collaboration with parents and schools, including assessments, coordination with psychiatrists or social workers, and participation in PPT meetings.

- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT, art therapy, and play therapy to build coping skills, resilience, and healthy communication.

Teens aren’t acting out—they’re often crying out for understanding and connection. Our goal is to help them feel seen, heard, and supported so they can heal, grow, and thrive.
