This will include gathering relevant background information and current mental health concerns and goals. For adolescents interested in therapy services, family or guardian involvement is required during the consultation and the level of involvement will be discussed during our first consultation. A treatment plan and recommendations will be provided once the evaluation is complete. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f71574894874fe905a65b/1618259578140-T83KHCU5BBFWPMEYDUPS/unsplash-image-nv-ZYsvjIcE.jpg Services - About Telehealth: Consultation and individual therapy sessions will be conducted via telehealth. The use of telehealth allows for the convenience of accessing mental health services anywhere in the state of Michigan. In my practice, I use a video platform called Simple Practice. All sessions are 100% HIPPA compliant, confidential and secure. More information regarding how to access this telehealth platform will be discussed during our initial phone consultation. https://smithcounselingservicespllc.com/home daily 1.0 2022-08-30 https://smithcounselingservicespllc.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f71574894874fe905a65b/1616777019353-EGM9UNTH95CCEDIEGOO3/unsplash-image-PHIgYUGQPvU.jpg Contact https://smithcounselingservicespllc.com/new-page daily 0.75 2023-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f71574894874fe905a65b/1661601267079-C7U2ISQHHIAQY350A32J/PebglWnRQOWH0h02oRuf_Alyssa+Smith%2C+LLP-7.jpeg About Alyssa - Welcome, I’m Alyssa. I am a Limited Licensed Psychologist (LLP) and have been practicing as a psychologist since 2016. People would describe me as kind hearted, compassionate, and honest. I became interested in psychology during my undergraduate career. This interest grew as I started to work with youth struggling with both physical and mental health difficulties and during my time working at an inpatient psychiatric hospital. During my undergraduate and graduate training, I developed a strong passion in learning about how mental health challenges develop and ways to improve the lives of those struggling. I have dedicated my career in helping prevent mental health concerns from worsening and helping improve the lives of those who are already experiencing these challenges. I received my undergraduate degree with a B.S. in Psychology from Grand Valley State University and my M.S. in Counseling/Clinical Psychology from Northeastern University. My post-graduate clinical training was obtained from McLean Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. Following graduate school, I spent 2 years working for the Department of Psychiatry with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and 6 years working with Michigan Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry. https://smithcounselingservicespllc.com/make-appointment daily 0.75 2021-03-29 https://smithcounselingservicespllc.com/approach daily 0.75 2022-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f71574894874fe905a65b/1661888334678-B39M94Y89QAJ7WG78M3B/unsplash-image-TStNU7H4UEE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600f71574894874fe905a65b/1661893851948-4WMUGG5TKUS591O0DVZL/unsplash-image-8NGWDex9qUw.jpg
