My name is Laura Spencer and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety and stress due to challenging life experiences. I am also a Nationally Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician and work with individuals working through toxic relationships and antagonistic abuse.

My approach is warm and friendly, helping you to meet your goals based on what work best for you. I do like to assign you things to do or think about between sessions to help you explore why you act, think, and feel like you do as this can be very helpful in activating change.

I love being a therapist because therapy provides tools for people who are finding themselves stuck or not sure how to work through something overwhelming. Quite often, the only way out is through, but no one should have to go through things alone.

I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety and depression as well as struggling with life stressors, which can be a life transition, a response to an interpersonal struggle, or any number of events. My goal in my first session is to give you something to work on, a strategy, something to think about and apply to your life, or just a calming technique.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Adlerian
Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Family / Marital
Motivational Interviewing
Strength-Based

My primary method is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which explored how your thoughts and emotions influence each other as well as your behaviors. I also incorporate what is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT takes into account personal values and whether or not we are living a life that is in alignment with these values.
