Psychology Practice – Smiths Station and Phenix City Psychological
Smiths Station and Phenix City Psychological (SSPCP) is a private psychology practice serving the Smiths Station and Phenix City area of Alabama that has been in operation for over 10 years. The practice is owned and operated by Dr. Eric Bloch. Dr. Katie O’Neil, who holds a Ph.D. from Auburn University, is also part of the clinical team. Nikki Bloch serves as office manager. The practice website notes the presence of a resident robot vacuum as the office mascot.
The practice serves clients across the lifespan and addresses a variety of psychological concerns. Treatment centers on aligning clients’ behaviors and daily lives with their core values through diagnosis and evidence-based treatment methods. Conditions addressed include depression, anxiety, isolation, physical health concerns, and grief. Clinical handouts and resources are available to clients through the website as supplemental support materials between sessions. Specific therapeutic modalities are described in dedicated sections of the site rather than on the homepage. The practice’s value-alignment approach reflects an emphasis on meaningful behavior change connected to personal priorities.
SSPCP maintains an active presence in the local community, with established partnerships involving area schools, law enforcement agencies, local government, and Fort Moore. In-person appointments are conducted at the practice. Office hours are Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. The practice is closed Sundays and Mondays. Because clinicians are typically in session during business hours, prospective and current clients are asked to leave a voicemail to schedule an appointment rather than expecting a live answer during the day.
A dedicated fees and insurance page is available on the website; specific panel details are not listed on the homepage. The practice also publishes forms and handouts as downloadable resources for current clients. Contact phone: (334) 577-4978.
