Awesome dude. He is very attentive to my issues and we talk through them very thoroughly. In addition he helps me out with some anxiety issues through DBT, and it is tremendously helpful. He shows me how to think differently in the real world so I can handle problems in my life as they come up, not just in therapy. He is very sensitive to my emotions while still getting to the root of my issues. We work seriously together while still being humorous. He is also very knowledgeable about medications and discusses them thoroughly with you. I’ve seen many psychiatrists and therapists, but he is the perfect fit for me. Although I was initially skeptical of his education because he is a nurse practitioner, not a psychiatrist, he has proven to be more knowledgeable and skilled than any psychiatrist or therapist I’ve had in the past. I recommend him to any of my friends looking for a mental health professional.
Jack is a caring, intelligent and supportive professional. He understands life can be difficult given work, parents, friends, children or health issues. Jack made me feel comfortable by listening and offering logical feedback. Using rational thinking was not always how I would approach life. There were ways to better relationships. I highly recommend Jack. He is wonderful.

More about John (Jack) Spencer, NP

Jack has specialized training in pharmacotherapy and in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. His focus is on helping clients identify obstacles to self-realization, understanding and managing mental illness, coping with stress, and identifying and reframing maladaptive thinking. The treatments that Jack provides are recovery oriented and trauma informed: he believes that recovery is possible and helps people to live a self-determined life and fulfill their potential but also realizes the impact of trauma on mental health can take when exploring paths to recovery. Sometimes medication may be helpful and together will explore if and what type of medication is right for a patient. Jack has been with Dr. Lauter’s practice since Fall 2016. His services include individual psychotherapy, diagnostic evaluation, and medication management/prescribing.
