Great to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own? You may be functioning on the outside—working, taking care of family, showing up for everyone else—while privately dealing with anxiety, sadness, relationship stress, grief, trauma, or the feeling that something in your life needs to change.

I'm Keyonne Spencer, LPC-S, and I help teens, adults, and couples move from simply coping with life to understanding what's happening beneath the surface and making meaningful, lasting changes.

With more than 15 years of experience in the mental health and human services field, I bring warmth, compassion, cultural awareness, and real-world perspective into the therapy room. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and communication challenges, trauma, grief, life transitions, workplace concerns, and self-esteem issues.

Many of the people I work with are used to being the strong one—the dependable one, the problem-solver, the person everyone else turns to. Therapy gives you a place where you don't have to have all the answers or pretend that everything is okay.

You deserve a space where you can be honest about what isn't working, understand yourself more deeply, and begin creating a life that feels healthier, more peaceful, and more aligned with who you want to be.

If you're ready for something to change, you don't have to figure it out alone.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should do more than give you a place to talk—it should help you understand yourself, recognize patterns, develop practical tools, and make changes you can actually feel in your everyday life.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and solution-oriented. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and compassion-focused approaches, tailoring our work to your individual needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all model.

Together, we may explore the thoughts and behaviors keeping you stuck, relationship patterns that continue to repeat themselves, boundaries that need strengthening, experiences from your past that continue to affect your present, or the expectations you've carried for so long that you've stopped asking whether they still belong to you.

I also recognize that therapy doesn't happen in a vacuum. Culture, family, relationships, identity, work, community, and lived experience all shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Those experiences deserve space in the therapy room.

My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself well enough to make healthier, more intentional choices—and give you tools that continue working long after the session ends.

What you can expect from me

You can expect me to be warm, compassionate, genuine, and engaged—but also direct when you need me to be.

I'm not the kind of therapist who will simply sit quietly, nod, and ask, “How does that make you feel?” for 50 minutes.

I'll listen carefully. I'll ask questions. I'll help you connect dots you may not have connected before. We'll identify patterns, challenge thoughts that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen communication and boundaries, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward goals that matter to you.

There may be sessions when we laugh. There may be sessions when we sit with something difficult. There may also be moments when I gently challenge you to look at something differently.

You don't have to come to therapy knowing exactly what to say or even knowing exactly what's wrong. You just have to be willing to start.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, workplace stress, a major life transition—or you've simply reached the point where you know something has to change—we'll begin where you are and work together toward where you want to be.

You have spent enough time surviving. Let's work on helping you live well, too.
