Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t let up, depression that feels overwhelming, stress from work or relationships, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, individual therapy can be the key to unlocking lasting change and personal growth.

At Yeates Family Consulting in Columbus, Mississippi, we understand that seeking individual therapy takes courage. That’s why we’ve created a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, develop practical coping strategies, and discover your own inner strength.

What Makes Our Individual Therapy Different

Our approach to individual counseling is built on partnership, not just treatment. We believe you are the expert on your own life, and our role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your unique journey toward healing and wellness. Rather than imposing rigid treatment plans, we work together to create a therapy experience that matches your pace, preferences, and personal goals.

Every person who walks through our doors brings their own story, challenges, and strengths. That’s why we take time during your first visit to really listen and understand what brought you here. This comprehensive initial assessment helps us develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses not just your immediate concerns, but also builds toward your longer-term vision for your life.

Areas We Address in Individual Therapy

Our individual counseling services help people work through a wide range of challenges, including:

• Anxiety and worry that interferes with daily life
• Depression that leaves you feeling hopeless or disconnected
• Stress management for work, relationships, or major life changes
• Trauma and difficult past experiences that still impact you today
• Life transitions like divorce, job changes, or loss of a loved one
• Relationship difficulties and communication problems
• Anger management and emotional regulation
• Self-esteem and confidence building
• Goal setting and personal growth

For clients who desire it, we also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith perspectives with professional therapeutic techniques. This isn’t counseling with a religious message added on—it’s skilled clinical work that honors both your psychological and spiritual needs.

Your Therapy Journey

Your healing journey starts with a comprehensive 60-90 minute initial assessment where we take time to understand your story, current challenges, and goals. We’ll answer your questions, explain our approach, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward.

Regular therapy sessions are typically 45-60 minutes and can be scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or as makes sense for your situation. Each session focuses on your immediate concerns while building practical skills and insights that will serve you long after therapy ends.

Between sessions, we offer secure messaging for urgent concerns and have a dedicated after-hours line for our clients. Our goal is making sure you feel supported throughout your healing process, not just during scheduled appointments.

Flexible Options That Work for Your Life

We know that life is busy and sometimes unpredictable. That’s why we offer both in-person sessions at our Columbus office and secure telehealth options that bring quality mental health care directly to your home. Our flexible scheduling accommodates work, family, and other commitments.

We accept multiple insurance plans including Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and others. We also offer transparent self-pay options and provide detailed superbills for clients seeking reimbursement from their insurance.
