Have you been to therapy before and felt like you weren't getting much from the experience? Maybe your therapist listened but didn't have much to say. If you're still dealing with the same issues and looking for a different approach, I may be able to help.

Taking the time to understand yourself in depth is an important first step. From there, we can work together to figure out what changes you need to make for yourself. This is your path to cultivating meaning in your life and experiencing more joy.

Hi, my name is Spencer, thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my profile. Finding the right therapist can be tricky at times. Here's a bit about myself to help you see if we'd be a good fit. My main goal as a therapist is to help others live in congruence with themselves. I believe peace comes and shame is reduced when one is aligned with their personal values. A lot of different events can push us out of alignment, and therapy is great at getting us back on track. Areas I spend a lot of time in are: self esteem, substance abuse, relationships, men's/women's issues, life transitions, anxiety/depression.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Mind-Body Bridging, all viewed through a Feminist Multicultural Therapy (FMT) lens. This means I consider not just your individual experiences but also how broader social and cultural systems impact your mental health and well-being.

Hi there, I'm a child therapist. If you're worried about your child because they are suddenly full of tears (or full of rage), let's work together. You're likely the first to notice a shift in your child. Maybe they seem out of control, the parenting skills you've used up to this point aren't working anymore. Families I work with are struggling at school drop offs or can't stand another yelling match with their teen. If your family has changed, because of divorce, a move, a death, I'd love to partner with you and provide support and direct guidance to return your home to a peaceful place again.

My experience includes: divorce and single-parenting, adjustment issues, grief and loss, trauma, women's issues, and mood disorders, among other challenges.
People come to counseling for different reasons. Some need assistance to change, changing habits or patterns that no longer serve them, shifting focus or reframing experience to feel good again. Some need to heal, from a past or recent trauma, who are dealing with grief or loss. Counseling can speed up the change and healing process. We all need someone to talk with who listens and can accept us as we are, without judgement, to explore ways to make changes that allow us to look forward to the future with hope.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
