Counseling doesn't have to be long to be impactful
Just one session with a trained counselor can make a huge difference!
Single Session Counseling
Single Session Counseling (SSC) is based on the premise that meaningful change can come from just one session. SSC is a clinically tested, effective model of brief counseling that intentionally involves just one visit or encounter with a counselor.
SMA is offering Single Sessions to youth and women in New Jersey and New York. SSCs have been proved successful in engaging people reluctant to go into "therapy". SSCs build the level of trust necessary to overcome the stigma and distrust that prevents many people from seeking therapy.
Our Single Sessions are based on the principles of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with adaptations to fit one session and to maximize utility for youth and women facing a variety of challenges. A consultation is between 60-90 minutes long with a two-week brief follow-up.
StrongMinds America is currently offering SSC to youth and women in New Jersey and New York. We hope to move into other states very soon!
