Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Dr. Ida Spencer. As an experienced and compassionate therapist, it is my desire to cultivate a supportive environment for you to explore strengths, navigate vulnerability, and celebrate resilience.

I have more than a decade of experience in crisis management, trauma work, and specialized expertise in addressing challenges related to gender identity and LGBTQIA issues as well as self-harm. As a result, I am well-prepared to offer comprehensive and compassionate support. My commitment is to establish a safe and affirming space for individuals to explore their unique experiences.

My approach to therapy

As an LGBTQI-affirmative practitioner, I am deeply committed to validating your experiences without judgment. Within my practice, I prioritize creating a safe and inclusive space where individuals, irrespective of identity, can authentically explore their unique paths. Together, we can navigate personal complexities, fostering a therapeutic environment that embraces diversity and champions the strength inherent in each person's story.

What you can expect from me

At the core of my practice is a dedication to understanding you on a profound level. Our shared exploration will focus on resilience, courage, and healing. Whether you’re a parent/caregiver seeking support for your adolescent, an overwhelmed adolescent in need of guidance or an adult navigating life's complexities, let's take that crucial first step together on a transformative path of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Together, we can unlock your potential and guide you to a more fulfilling and empowered life. Don't hesitate – take the first step today.
