Born and raised in the beautiful Mojave Desert of Southern California, I am a Small Town Girl with a Big Passionate Heart! I am the proud wife of a Disabled Marine Corps Veteran who is also an Ordained Minister. I am a mom, a daughter, an aunt, a sister, a friend, and a grandma (or 'Mimi' as I prefer). I am an Ordained Minister with The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, and I have an identical twin sister! (I was the surprise baby Noone knew about) I have a 'Down-To-Earth'' Approach in my therapy and offer Professional Clinical Counseling for both Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorders-from a Christian Worldview!

Hello, my name is Dacey M. Spinuzzi. My scope of practice includes working with clients who have experienced single incident and complex traumas as well as substance misuse and addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, women's issues, parenting challenges and or self-harming behaviors. It is my privilege to foster a safe space for my clients to grow and become the best version of them self while helping them to heal their inner child and end generational curses.

Current Availability is Limited. Starting therapy is a major life decision! It takes courage even though you may be scared or unsure of what to expect, you are ready to start the process of self-change. I believe in taking a holistic approach to working with each client on an individual level, focusing on their specific needs, wants and goals. I am a direct, honest and straight forward therapist. Accountability is key. I attempt to create a casual and relaxed atmosphere, that is safe, inviting, and makes you comfortable for you to share. I am trained in alternative therapies such as hypnotherapy and EMDR.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

At my practice, we treat a wide variety of patients. For some, it is his or her first time at therapy and there may be some trepidation about starting the process. For others, we have been one of many therapists in his or her life. Each patient brings a unique and fascinating set of thoughts, feelings and behaviors all of which require a specific method of treatment. It is wonderful work! We hope that everyone can have the chance to explore psychotherapy in his or her life, be it for a single session or many more.

Many of my clients suffer from depression, anxiety, and/or addiction. They are looking for a way to break free of the chains that have held them in these illnesses. When you come to my office, you are open to speak freely and honestly about your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I am hear to walk with you through your journey using state of the art services including diagnostic and testing services.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, loss, life changes, addiction, work… or just life in general. I help people with situations that are impacting their ability to enjoy life & move forward. I help people that are doing OK in life achieve & become more. I'm passionate about what I do & I'm confident I can help you. If I can’t, I'll help you find someone who can.

Are you 13 to 23, or the parent of someone 13 to 23? Experiencing behavioral issues at home or at school? Recently encouraged to complete assessment by the schools or courts? Want to address and reduce/eliminate drug use such as alcohol or marijuana? Adolescence can be a time of struggle for everyone involved. Teenagers desire connections with others where they believe their voice is valued, built on acceptance and mutual respect as a unique individual. It’s important to understand the thought process and any potential underlying issues that may be contributing to individual behaviors in an open and non-judgmental environment.

Living in balance is the ongoing goal I hope for my clients. Whether it be to repair relationships, working on achieving your personal best, learning to handle mental illness, moving towards forgiveness, or handling life changes, we can always move towards making positive changes to live a more satisfying life.

When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to even know where to begin. Sorting through the noise, the busyness, the stress of life can make it hard to even know where to look. Focus Point Counseling exists to help people focus on the areas of life where change is needed, then to help them through the process of getting where they want to go.

Are you suffering from trauma, anxiety, fear, shame, anger, addiction(substance, codependency or relationship), low self worth, relationship conflict, having difficulty managing stress, or are tired of pushing through life? Do you sabotage yourself in attempting to reach your potential or find it difficult to live joyfully, struggle with connecting passionately in relationships, or living life in the moment? I will support you in attracting and creating the life you want. I offer approaches that guide you from trying to figure out life to learning to live intentionally and passionately in the moment.

When a person is truly dedicated to working towards change, healing, and growth; amazing things can happen. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, but mental health is just as important as physical health. As a therapist, I am strongly dedicated to breaking stigma and normalizing mental health treatment. Whether you are going through a difficult transition, struggling with a substance use or mental health issue, or just working on becoming a happier and more stable version of yourself: I would be privileged to assist you on your journey. My client criteria is simple: be open, be willing, and trust the process.

Grand Being! It is my hope to help you discover your pathway to success...however, you choose to define success. I am a staunch believer that, with the proper assistance, there is nothing that can not be overcome and conquered. I have proven this to myself and my clients time and time again through my work with incarcerates, SPMI, and children/adolescents. If you are seeking to become the best version of yourself and need someone who will help you to discover those elements, please contact me.

In today’s world most people have experienced a variety of stressors that seem to weave throughout life. Trying to balance a sense of normalcy in the day to day can become overwhelming when you don’t understand why you think, act, or cope the way you do. Anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress and destructive thoughts can impact the relationship you have with yourself and others. Realizing you are at a point where you may need more insight or guidance can be distressing. Finding the right type of help shouldn't cause additional worry.
