Chad Spencer

I am Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Human Development and mental health counseling. I work with individuals and couples from age 7 through the lifespan.

I work from an integrative model that embraces a variety of approaches. While there is no one size fits all, I work primarily from a trauma-informed cognitive model which believes that safety precedes insight, and from insight we have an opportunity to make changes and experience real growth. In couples counseling I work from an Emotionally Focused lens that views hidden and unexpressed emotions as the key to working through the core conflicts hinder intimacy.

The first session is getting to know you - your goals, who you are and what has brought you to therapy. I want to establish a framework for what may be the problem and where we can collaborate on next steps in treatment.
