Welcome to Spot to Talk! We are excited to share our services with you! We know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and you might not even know where to begin. We will be here to help as much as we can. All you need to do is fill out an interest form, and a Spot to Talk team member will reach out to you and your family within 48 hours to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation. If you are not sure how to let your parent(s)/guardian(s) know you are interested in therapy, Spot to Talk can be the ones to speak with them about your interest. If this is something you would like us to do, please fill out the relevant questions on the interest form and we will be sure to connect with your parent(s)/guardian(s) on your behalf. If you need immediate support, please check out our resources page to connect with a 24-hour crisis support line if needed.

Individual therapy involves one-on-one time between you and your therapist in a safe environment that provides a chance for connection. During your individual sessions, you can expect to be able to share information with your therapist in a non-judgmental space and a spot where you can safely be yourself. Your one-on-one sessions with your therapist might include time spent discussing the challenges you have experienced and the goals you would like to accomplish. Individual therapy can be helpful in overcoming obstacles in your life and can increase positive feelings including self-esteem. During the times spent with your therapist, typically over several sessions, you will learn skills for managing difficult situations, how to make healthy decisions, and determining the steps you need to take to reach your goals.

Individual Therapy can help with many different things. Below are some examples of what Spot to Talk can help with:

Anxiety

Depression

Substance Use Disorders

Electronic Use Addiction

Trauma & PTSD

Identity Formation

School Refusal

Parent-Child Relationship Challenges

Aftercare Post Residential Treatment / Intensive Outpatient Programs

Group therapy is a great way to connect with a small group of individuals who are experiencing similar challenges. Participating in group therapy allows you to not only connect with the therapist facilitating the group, but also other participants who have had similar life experiences. Group therapy can be a wonderful way to feel connected to others while also learning from others’ experiences. Groups are offered based off the needs of our current clientele. If you are interested in attending a group, please let us know in your interest form.

Crisis Consultation can be helpful if you are experiencing significant emotional distress without actually being in a physically dangerous situation.* A Crisis Consultation is typically booked within 3 hours of your appointment time but without guaranteeing that you will be able to meet with your primary Spot to Talk therapist. We cannot always guarantee the availability of these sessions, and recommend that if you are concerned about harming yourself or someone else, or if you are feeling unsafe in your environment, to please call 911 or visit your local emergency room. If the mental health crisis you are experiencing is not dangerous, but you wish to speak with a Spot to Talk therapist as soon as possible, please request a Crisis Consultation Appointment by calling 619-438-0690.

*A physically dangerous crisis situation includes suicidal behaviors or threats, homicidal behaviors or threats, irrational dangerous behaviors, or excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs. If you are not certain whether the situation represents immediate danger, please err on the side of caution and call 911.
