Getting to know Darryon Spencer
Are you tired of feeling stressed out and overwhelmed by everything going on in your life? Do you find yourself constantly worrying and overthinking about a million and one things? Do you find yourself getting irritated by everyone and everything, followed by you feeling shame and guilt about it later? Do you find that there are times where you go from feeling overwhelmed by the stress and anxiety to then feeling fatigued, burned out, and tired? Or maybe you experience a lack of energy all the time and also realize that it's accompanied by you feeling down and depressed?
If you can relate to anything I've mentioned, I imagine that you're tired of feeling this way and just want to be happier, healthier, and mentally well?
If so, then you've come to the right place! My name is Darryon Spencer, LMHC and I'd be honored to support you as you work toward experiencing relief from all you've been experiencing. You deserve to experience mental wellness and live the best life you could ever imagine living. Allow me to help you work toward just that.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I want you to know that you are capable of achieving so much. And with the support of a mental health professional who takes the time to listen, understand, validate, and empathize, I believe you will achieve your mental health goals. I would love to be this mental health professional I speak of.
My approach to delivering mental health care is gentle, encouraging, supportive, patient, compassionate, and cheerful. My goal is to make this process toward you experiencing a greater sense of mental wellbeing comfortable, approachable, and enjoyable. And my hope is that you will feel safe and secure in this non-judgemental environment so that you may work toward feeling like yourself again, or better yet...meeting the best version of yourself for the very first time.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical session might look like us starting off with a check-in. I'm always curious to know how you've been feeling since the last time we've chat. Then, we set the agenda for the day, meaning we collaboratively decide what the discussion of that specific session will be focused on. And although I am always here to help you decide what's best, you always have the final say so in regard to what we do, and if we're discussing multiple things, then you get to decide in what order discussions are had. Besides from discussions, our sessions will include me educating you on what you may be experiencing, from a psychological perspective you may not have considered. We may also interactively complete questionnaires to learn even more about your current or overall experience. Lastly, I always aim to end our individual sessions with a calming, relaxing, and grounding coping skill practice. Each week, I will aim to teach, or review, one of these coping skills with you. These may include coping skills such mindfulness, meditation, breathing exercises, noting, body scanning, guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and there's so much more where that came from.
So to summarize, our session may includes a check in, discussions, education, interactive questionnaires, and a coping skill practice.
