Boundaries are often misunderstood as being cold or distant. In reality, they help relationships feel safer, clearer, and more respectful. Anxiety, guilt, and fear of conflict can make boundary-setting especially difficult.

Therapy can help individuals understand where boundaries feel challenging, why certain patterns repeat, and how to communicate needs in a way that supports both connection and emotional well-being.

At Snead Psychological Services, therapy is about helping you show up more fully in your relationships, not withdrawing from them.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder isn’t about being organized, clean, or particular. It’s fueled by intense anxiety and a powerful need to reduce uncertainty or distress.

Evidence-based treatment for OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), focuses on breaking the cycle between obsessions and compulsions helping individuals regain time, flexibility, and mental space.

At Snead Psychological Services, Dr. Alex Snead provides structured OCD treatment grounded in research and compassion.

Anxiety is often described as excessive worry, but for many people, it shows up physically first. These physical responses are not a sign of weakness. They are the body’s learned reaction to perceived threat, even when no immediate danger is present. With evidence-based therapy, it’s possible to understand these patterns and teach the body and mind how to respond differently over time.

At Snead Psychological Services, Dr. Alex Snead provides structured, research-backed treatment to help individuals manage anxiety at both the mental and physical level.

Supporting an anxious child can feel overwhelming. Parents often want to protect, reassure, and reduce distress as quickly as possible, yet some well-intentioned responses can unintentionally reinforce anxiety.

Through parent-focused therapy, including SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), caregivers can learn practical tools to respond with confidence, consistency, and support, without escalating anxiety cycles.

At Snead Psychological Services, Dr. Alex Snead works collaboratively with parents to help children build resilience while strengthening family dynamics along the way.

At Snead Psychological Services, Dr. Alex Snead provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you process these emotions, understand their impact, and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Therapy focuses on honoring your experience while helping you adapt to what comes next.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is often misunderstood as a preference for order or neatness. In reality, OCD is driven by overwhelming anxiety and a powerful need for relief. Compulsions aren’t habits; they’re attempts to manage distress when uncertainty feels unbearable.

At Dr. Snead Psychological Services, we focus on evidence-based treatment that addresses the underlying anxiety patterns that keep OCD cycles going. With the right approach, it’s possible to reduce symptoms, regain time and mental space, and move forward with greater confidence.

Understanding OCD is the first step toward effective support.
