George Spence, MS

Psychotherapist
NY
"Practice makes permanent, not perfect.” That’s what I tell my clients, because therapy isn’t about getting everything right – it’s about building patterns that actually stick. The habits you practice become your life, whether they’re helping you or holding you back. I spent years as a high school guidance counselor in the Bronx, thinking that was my career path. Then COVID hit. Watching everyone struggle through isolation and uncertainty, I realized how desperately people needed more than academic guidance – they needed someone safe to actually talk to about what was falling apart. That shift opened the door to mental health counseling, and I’ve never looked back. Those years working in high schools gave me a practical, real-world perspective that shapes everything about how I practice. I’ve seen how stress and anxiety can completely derail someone’s sense of self, especially during major transitions. I understand how complex life is outside the therapy room – the pressures, the expectations, the feeling of being stuck with no clear next move. My approach focuses on what’s already working in your life, not just where things are going wrong. We look at your strengths and resources alongside your struggles, so you leave sessions with possibility instead of just a list of problems. I’m like a teammate helping you figure out your next play – I listen closely, ask real questions, and help you see options you might not notice when everything feels overwhelming. Clients tell me they feel heard, supported, and challenged in the best way. They say I have their best interests at heart while also pushing them to grow. I believe people are doing the best they can with the tools they have – therapy is just about adding more tools to your toolkit. I work with adults and young adults navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
