🌟 Meet Scott Sears, LADC
Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor

We’re proud to welcome Scott Sears to our team — a compassionate and dedicated counselor who believes in the power of resilience, healing, and hope.

💬 “If we fall 100 times, we get up 101.”

Scott helps children (8+), teens, adults, couples, families, and veterans navigate life’s toughest challenges, including:
✨ Addiction & Substance Use
✨ Anxiety & Depression
✨ Bipolar Disorder
✨ Coping Skills & Emotional Regulation
✨ OCD & Major Mental Disorders
✨ Grief & Loss
✨ Suicidal Ideation
✨ Veterans’ Mental Health
✨ Obesity & Body Image Concerns

His approach integrates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing, empowering clients to rebuild confidence, find balance, and live with purpose.

Outside of therapy, Scott’s passion for fitness, wellness, and comic book stories inspires his belief that everyone has the strength to rise again.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward recovery and emotional freedom, schedule an appointment with Scott today.

💬 “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.

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.

✨ August is Self-Aware Month ✨

Being self-aware is like having a GPS for your life — you can see where you are, understand where you’ve been, and choose where you want to go.

✨ 3 Daily Practices to Grow Your Self-Awareness ✨

Self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence, healthy relationships, and personal growth. Here are three powerful habits you can start today:

1️⃣ Mindfulness Moments
Take 5–10 minutes a day to simply notice—your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Try deep breathing, a quick body scan, or just being still. The goal isn’t to “empty” your mind but to observe it without judgment.

2️⃣ Reflective Journaling
Spend a few minutes writing about your day—what you felt, why you think you felt it, and how you responded. Over time, patterns emerge, giving you valuable insight into your triggers and strengths.

3️⃣ Ask for Feedback
Invite a trusted friend, colleague, or mentor to share how they perceive you. Be open to both the positive and constructive feedback—this outside perspective can help you see blind spots you didn’t notice.

💡 Small steps create big change. Which of these will you start today?
