Invoke-Command: Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters when using remote session.

I'm running into an issue running Invoke-Command, I get the error below. I have successfully created a PSSession and ensured CredSSP is working properly (for both Server and Client roles). The command works fine if I don't use -Authentication, but then my credentials aren't passed.

PS C:\Users\saleemiw.da> $psession

 Id Name            ComputerName    State    ConfigurationName     Availability
 -- ----            ------------    -----    -----------------     ------------
  1 Session1        COMPUTER1      Opened   Microsoft.PowerShell     Available


PS C:\Users\saleemiw.da> $cred

UserName                                                               Password
--------                                                               --------
COCOLYNN\saleemiw.da                               System.Security.SecureString


PS C:\Users\saleemiw.da> Invoke-Command -Session $psession -ScriptBlock {Get-SPFarm} -Authentication CredSSP -Credential $cred
Invoke-Command : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.
At line:1 char:15
+ Invoke-Command <<<<  -Session $psession -ScriptBlock {Get-SPFarm} -Authentication CredSSP -Credential $cred
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-Command], Parameter
   BindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AmbiguousParameterSet,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeCommandCommand

I ran this from a remote server as well as the local server itself, same result.

This does work:

Invoke-Command -cn localhost -ScriptBlock {Add-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell;Get-SPFarm} -Authentication CredSSP -Credential $cred

However, if I have a series of commands, that means I need to load the SharePoint Snapin each time. Are there any workarounds to this?
