I specialize in working with individuals and couples struggling with trauma, codependency, and alcohol and substance use. I understand the interconnected nature of these challenges and the profound impact they can have on one's life and ability to cope with day to day stressors. I work collaboratively with clients to navigate through their struggles and cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and empowerment.

My name is Jennifer Spencer, MSW, LICSW, LCSW and I’m licensed in both Washington and Colorado. I offer fifteen years of professional experience in the helping profession. The modalities I prefer are client-centered, strengths-based, psychoanalytic, talk therapy, attachment-based, and mindfulness skills. My experience is working primarily with adults. My focus populations include women issues, queer issues, seniors with health conditions, veterans, PTSD, men’s issues, domestic violence in hetero and same-sex relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, codependency, and narcissism.

I work collaboratively with you to identify stories or obstacles posing problems in your life so you can move through them. Whether you are a teen, an adult, a couple, or a family system, I utilize an integrative approach that is holistic and strength-based, supporting you in making peace with the past & the present, in order to live in a healthy balance of mind, body, & spirit. I work from a multicultural & justice-oriented context; am LGQBT+ friendly, & support you in your individual belief system, exploring the way dominant narratives have impacted you. I have experience working with complex trauma & grief.

Is depression, anxiety, and/or trauma getting in the way of having fulfilling relationships? Maybe you're feeling stuck in your relationship(s), going through a change in identity, or entering/letting go of a particular life stage? Perhaps the complexity of transition is causing you to feel overwhelm, fear, grief, confusion, or loneliness? I’m here to journey with you to tender territory, taking a gentle, warm, yet direct approach. As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I use mindfulness to tune into and reflect back your innate wisdom and wholeness that is already within.

Activists, change-agents, anti-oppression professionals, you all deserve spaces that support your healing. You deserve safe spaces that allow you to process the tension between self-care and community care. While you attempt to change the world, you also deserve to take care of yourself to heal from the impact of what you witness. Through the individual therapy, group work or single-session consultations, I will be honored to support your mental health journey. For hassle-free scheduling, visit my website. You're welcome to request a 15-minute consultation (no charge) prior to scheduling

Currently accepting new clients. Are you a "super achiever" on the outside but suffering internally due to anxiety, depression, or trauma? Do you feel a deep sense of loneliness because no one can understand what you are going through? Having been an executive coach & psychologist in the corporate world for 20+ years, I have been in the trenches and understand your pain. I provide you with a safe and supportive space where you feel listened to, valued and empowered. I help you gain deeper insight, build better coping skills, and find effective ways to thrive.

I am excited to work with couples and individuals to deepen your understanding of values. I teach skills and tools to help find peace in everyday life. Whether you are struggling with everyday stressors or processing your trauma, I’m here to sit with you. For in person sessions, my office is in the Ravenna neighborhood, located near University Village. My specialties include: relationship issues, concussion/ brain injury, woman's health, pregnancy/parenting, anxiety, and depression.

Are you feeling stuck? What's getting in the way of living a satisfying life, one with heart and meaning? You may be coming to therapy because of a new development or something very old, you may not even know what it is. You may also be adding to your burden by judging your self unfairly. But there is hope, therapy can usher in exciting transformation. When we can embrace the gifts that come with challenges, old fears lose their power. I deeply enjoy helping clients explore/work through difficulties with the purpose of breaking old patterns and intentionally creating a new path forward. Healing and growth is possible for you too.

Are you seeking change for the better and while you navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or career dissatisfaction? I help clients discover what is holding them back from the life they want to live and then we work together to create effective, long-lasting solutions so they can live a life that is joyful and fulfilling.

I work primarily with individuals who feel bound in aversion toward themselves. Whether concerns manifest as self-hatred, shame, relational difficulties, terminal regret, questions around spirituality, depression, anxiety, or in any number of other ways, I wholeheartedly trust there is more to the story than meets the eye. I support our exploration by opening a receptive and creative space for truths that might not feel at home elsewhere. As we shift painful thought patterns out of isolation and into dialogue between two minds, new and surprising truths emerge. These can form the basis for new peace and possibilities.

Are you wishing for better relationships? Feeling anxious, down, lost, or wondering about the meaning of life? Would you like to feel more confident? Hoping to heal after trauma? Going through loss or life transition? We need lots of self-compassion so we can heal and find a better approach to our lives and relationships. I offer a non-judgmental space to be open about your struggles and explore what it means to live in your values. It is through our common humanity that I relate to my clients. I believe the struggles we face also occur in the systems of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability, religion, and national identity.

We are a collective of comprehensively trained, client-centered, and value-focused therapists who have a sincere interest in helping people improve connection to themselves, their sexuality, and their relationships with others. Our values reflect who we are as individuals and as a collective, where inclusivity is paramount, diversity is celebrated, and our work considers the needs of those we serve.

Please note I am out of the office 8/16-9/1/2024. My approach is holistic and humanistic in nature, meeting you where you're at and building a trusting relationship so that we can do powerful work together. My client focus is adults 18+ who wish to explore and heal from complex trauma; individuals working through a major life stressor such as family dynamic issues, relationship changes, college/career transition; and those drawn to self-discovery, self-growth and self-potential. I am here to support you in on your path. I listen compassionately and offer skills and techniques that cultivate exploration, discovery, and healing.

I help women tend to the garden of their own life: celebrating bounty, acknowledging challenges, and moving through loss, while addressing needs across the lifespan. My nature-based behavioral health approach might be a good fit if you're seeking a safe, collaborative space to strengthen coping skills; grow healthy lifestyle behaviors; and cultivate intimacy with the natural world (in ways that work for you).
